Because liberals don’t have to watch the news - they already know everything.

‘Cause we all know the cast of High School Musical: Gun Control will do great PR for the Dems, eh?

Don't underestimate their rage.
Traditional Americans were angry in 2016.
But we need to keep our focus.
The Leftist are going to counter attack like never before.
Trump has eased our anger, but the leftist morons and the legacy democRats are primed and they will vote early and often and use every tool, trick and lie that they can muster to at least get even.

Correct.

The Democrats are a minority party, and always have been.

Right now, they're foaming and rabid like they've never been before, because they lost the Supreme Court for at least a generation.

Their whole deal now is to prevent President Trump from appointing any more Supreme Court justices.

We're going to have to go at them as hard as we can this November.

While MSNBC has a smaller aufience than Fox, it averaged nearly 1.9 million total prime time viewers in 1Q18, +30 percent from 1Q17. FNC was down double digits versus 1Q17,

Perhaps it’s because the Dems aren’t winning; the Repbulicans are losing. By refusing to counter the bogus “spontaneous outrage” against Roy Moore, gun rights after the FL shooting, saving Confederate history, claims that all white nationalists are Nazis, women’s “me too” claims that have gotten out of control, not abolishing ObamaCare when they should’ve, they’re making it too easy for the haters. Dem crazies are carrying the day with their protests seeming to have no real disagreement.

DemocRats are foaming at the mouth, but conservatives have once again been sold out by “Republicans” in Congress. The blue wave is really only a ripple, but who in their right mind would get motivated for the lying, turncoat Republicans?

No, real Americans are not going to watch the Marxist stuff on TV. But they also don’t see much use in voting in the off year elections. Tuning out lunatic leftists on TV has nothing to do with elections.

They suck for the same reason headlines with the word “boom” in them are not taken seriously. People only have so much tolerance for hysterical non stop hyperbole 24/7 where nothing ever happens. For over a year liberals have heard every micro detail of Russia Russia Russia blasted into hysterical stratospheric absurdity with the never ending promise that this time trump is being impeached. Even liberals start to fatigue from the non stop emotional roller coaster of disappointment after a year or two and tune out

Because most people, including liberals, get their news from the Internet?

I would think that since all news shows say the same things EXCEPT for Fox, you should total all other news shows and gauge how Fox stands up to the liberal media total. But I hate statistics.

In Wisconsin they paid for very high scale ads. They painted our candidates as the monsters that they really are. The ads were complete lies, but that doesn't matter to them in the least. The average person believes what they see on TV.

If we are to beat them, we MUST be on top of educating the public all year round. We MUST put paid informative ads on the TV, the net, on all kinds of radio shows, and in newspapers all year round, as issues come up, before they are passe. I know many think newspapers are old school, but people still read them, and the talk around towns and cities is what was written in them. Educating people, informing them on a consistent basis as to the facts of matters MUST be a paramount goal of Conservatives. We do it well on radio shows, but that is often singing to the choir.

A “blue wave” has nothing to do with Democrats but inaction by Republican primary, special election, and general election voters.

Very true: further proof that our Republican primary voters, at least the few who show up at the polls, are really incapable of selecting reliable nominees.

Among their viewers, 100% are voting as far-left as they can.

All 600 of them...

“The Leftist are going to counter attack like never before.”

You can say that again. They won a Wisconsin SC election in that wasn’t discussed much (though I *think* it was for a temp appointment with the 10 year appt election coming up this fall).

We are going to have to turn out this fall ... the prize is seeing liberals fall apart and start turning on one another if we keep the House and Senate. If we let them win either, they will have won a reward they should have never won.
