This is sort of like when they wrote, ‘All signs point to Hillary Clinton winning the Presidential election in November of 2016.’ or ‘There is a 98% chance Hillary will be President.
These people are horrible...do not believe them. Go out and vote and we shall see how many of the 10 Demo_ratic Senators up for election in 2018 survive.

Yep. All we heard a year out from 2016 was that Hillary was a shoe-in, and the ‘pubbies would lose both houses of congress. So, while anything is possible, I ain’t putting too much stock in the same pollsters who got it so wonderfully wrong before — and right up ‘til the evening of — Nov 7, 2016.
Republicans have clearly been warned - the Dems are p*ssed and ready to vote this fall. So get your act together and get the voters enthusiastic or prepare for a blood bath.
Guess that’s why in 12/15 battleground states that I track all 12-—EVERY SINGLE MONTH-—have shown growing R registration gains?
The only exception was PA, which got as far as net +107,000 R gains and now is at about 85,000. But PA is down Ds by 250,000 since 2012, so I’m not worried. Otherwise, every month, in each of the 12, the Rs increase their registration gains.
When voters are p*ssed at the GOP (which we are) voting for the other guys always sounds like a good idea in the abstract.
Until the other guys tell you what they actually BELIEVE and WANT TO DO. After that, not so much.
Those 250,000 Ds still vote...
“the Dems are p*ssed and ready to vote this fall. So get your act together and get the voters enthusiastic or prepare for a blood bath.”
You are 100% right. If right leaning voters become lethargic (when they shouldn’t ... out POTUS is NOT a RINO), the Dems can win the House by a thin margin. They are ridiculously motivated. However, if we can get our voters to turn out, the Dems are going to be crying enough tears to get that “blue wave” they’re hoping for.
Bottom line, turnout is key this year ... we turn out, we keep the House.
I can’t see a way the Dems get control of the Senate, but never, ever make assumptions when it comes to the Republican party :-).
LS,
I just heard on Jeff Kuhner ( 680am Boston WRKO 12 to 3 pm est ) and I can't confirm it, that....
Elizabeth Warren is Under Water....
Holy-bleep Batman. Think about that one for a moment. I have been saying Phoca and Stabusnow are Venerable.
Please Mr. President, campaign in MA and MI heavily this election cycle...
When they lose en masse I hope they all commit suicide.
What signs might these “predictors” be studying?
The Democrats have no message, no money and darned few good solid candidates even getting ready in the Green Room.
Not ready for prime time.
Aint gonna happen folks...we hold the house and pick up 5-8 Senate seats.
That of course would be wonderful, but she’s not one we really need, and a D underwater in MA is less interesting than a D underwater in WV or MO.
Spread across 50 states and quarantined mostly in CA, it’s a drop in the bucket. It’s nothing. We’ve offset that already, in just one year, of registration growth of Rs or registration shrinkage of Ds.
All signs point to the FACT that it’s completely impossible to predict election outcomes 10 months in advance...
If Trump’s policies continue to succeed, and the Dem scandals turn out half as bad as they’re looking right now, I predict an epic midterm for Republicans.
I’m sure plenty of Americans are already amazed to see a President who actually does what he said he’d do during his campaign...
I think the RATS take back the House. Problem is too many open Republican seats, the Democrat base is highly energized and the Republican base has not been turning out.
President Hillary concurs!
Imp et al
Another GOP throws hat into Governor race today. Connecticut
That makes about 15
Meanwhile, nobody runs against targeted Esty, CT 5
Local house races neglected
As DJ points out, this is no way to build a party
Many of us who followed the statespoll.com site with adjusted polls quickly saw the differences in potential outcomes.

Yep.
MLB teams don’t get to publish fake batting averages or ERAs.
The swineherds of the Democrat Party might be warning the population that their voter fraud mechanisms are in place and that they will be effective in turning the right number of elections to the Democrats on an as-needed basis.
