It's not a blue wave. It's a realignment of American politics
CNN ^ | October 30, 2018 | Ronald Brownstein

With only a few exceptions, Democrats face more uncertain prospects in Republican-held House seats centered on the blue-collar, exurban and rural communities where Trump remains popular

You know Trump is doing something right when even CNN acknowledges that his base is solidly behind him. If the the urban elites would pay attention to the economy instead of the rhetoric, this would be a red wave.

If the #WalkAway hashtag is indicative, more than just Trump’s base.

As we get closer to the election the punditry class has to put their liberal biases aside and make sure their professional reputations stay intact by providing “accurate” analysis. In other words, they have to stop lying about predicting a “Blue Wave”.

They pushed all their chips to the center of the table betting on Obama Socialism, and lost.

Trump showed the GOP how to win. You get those blue collar, patriotic, hard working, sick and tired of being sick and tired Americans (who hate rich, elite politicians like Romney) to go out and vote. They aren’t going away no matter how many tantrums the democrats have. They like how Trump fights and never backs down. They want a safe, prosperous country
for their kids. Trump made promises and he is keeping them!

If the Repukes keep the house and the Senate it’ll one heck of a fun night. New memes will be created, new outrage videos that will last us well into the 2020 cycle. Truth be told. That, ALMOST more than anything, is why I hope it happens.

I pray we increase in the House and the Senate. The amount of money being spent on Dem candidates is appalling! I hope someone will publish the Dem vs Rep money spent, after the election! Will be interesting to see!

They pushed all their chips to the center of the table betting on Obama Socialism, and lost.

The Clintons corrupted the Democratic Party and then Obama radicalized it. Democrats used to be the party of the working man. Today they represent the coastal elite, militant SJWs, illegal aliens, and transexuals.

The party needs a "Come to Jesus" moment. Hopefully, God willing, after November's shellacking, they'll re-evaluate their message.

America benefits from two strong parties to keep each other in check. Give one party all the power and they will eventually become corrupted with it.

At one time both parties saw eye-to-eye on most things. We were, after all, all Americans (remember the days of pro-2A, pro-life Democrats?) Today the Democratic Party is an angry, dysfunctional mess of angry, radical malcontents spewing nothing but hate and getting everyone on both sides riled up. The country is coming apart. People actively hate each other. I full blame the Democrats for this.

The Democrats need to be soundly defeated in November and then they need to unf**k themselves.
