The fact they refer to this as "disaster for Democrats" instead of "victory for Republicans" is a reflection of their own biased viewpoint.

No, not really - it was done by a Democrat group FOR a Democrat group, so it makes sense they would headline it, and analyze it, from the Democrat standpoint.

I find it a disaster that the Dems are anywhere above 20% in any poll.

If the GOPe keeps giving us smarmy, back-stabbing, socialist, morarlly reprobate RINOs like Scott Brown, they will continue to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I will not be voting for such anymore.

Republicans need to be careful not to make any mistakes and turn the voters off. The grassroots - city, county, state - are doing a good job selling the product in spite of our so called national leaders who are seeking to divide and devalue those things we hold dear. Clarity in message and honesty will win the day.

if the polls keep up like this, look for a big false flag event either before november, or before the new folks are supposed to take office.

The “tsunami” for the GOP is wayyyyy overrated IMO. There will be GOP gains, but nothing like some of these drama queens are squealing about.

We’ll be OK for the midterms, but sure as you’re born, we’ll get Jeb Bush in 2016.

Romney would be better, and I’m not joking. If the midterms are strong, Cruz will end up looking pretty good, and maybe he’s the answer. I’d rather see a Governor run this time.

A ticket with maybe Perry and someone from Florida or Ohio maybe.

The poll is really about the potential impact of the Democratic message relative to the Republican message. When people hear both messages, the pollsters argue, people shift to the Democratic side. It can be argued that their version of our message is not as persuasion as our version of our message. More importantly, it can be argued that the facts are more important than the message.

Yes, probably setting the bar high so when the Democrats do lose the Senate, they can spin it to make it seem not as bad as it could have been.

I was thinking the same thing. Imagine how many times the Dems are going to inject class warfare using the Koch Bros as their scapegoat over the next seven months. Harry Reid will blow a couple of gaskets over this.

Yes, in addition to a huge false-flag event, the Democrats will keep pounding the minimum wage drum along with the equal pay gong.

“Equal pay” is nothing more than a dog whistle to try and get low-information voting women into the poll. The second front of the attack is minimum wage which is designed to get the low-information men and college kids out to the polls. Look soon for a student loan forgiveness secret plan from Democrats. Like Nixon, they won't give any details until after the election, but they'll be long on pledges of eliminating their debt in exchange for their vote.

Agreed - then the MSM positioning will be that the RAT's surged at the end, thus positioning any mandate as barely won

So, you're saying all woman are dogs? You clearly are a right wing, insensitive misogynist.

Not so much an Executive Order as an Enabling Act.
