Democrats ride ‘green wave’ as they try to capture Senate majority
Fox News ^ | July 16 2020 | Paul Steinhauser

Democratic challengers in many of the key Senate races that will determine which party controls the chamber next year have over the past three months outraised the Republican incumbents they’re hoping to unseat in November’s general election.

“The green wave of fundraising that helped Democrats take back the House in 2018 is now a tsunami of cash in Senate races for Democrats that could clear the way for them to flip the Senate in November,” said Jessica Taylor, who closely tracks the Senate races for the Cook Report, a leading non-partisan political handicapper.

Republicans enjoy a 53-47 majority in the U.S. Senate, but the party’s defending 23 of the 35 seats up for grabs in the chamber this November. And while at least a half-dozen GOP seats are considered battlegrounds, Democrats are defending just one or two vulnerable incumbents. Senate Republicans fortunes are also tied to President Trump – whose poll position in public opinion surveys has been nothing to brag about the past couple of months.

“Fox mimics CNN.”

In many ways. FNC is in that uncomfortable place where attempting to be objective got them to where they are, but the ownership is liberal, and it chaps their behind.

So, we see a not so gradual degradation. And it’s leaking from FNC to FBN. Good gosh, someone pull that fat pile of goo Cavuto off the air!

What I think is funny is the exact same democrats say Trump's fundraising advantage doesn't matter. You can't have it both ways, either money matters or it doesn't.

(Personally I think money still matters but a lot less than it use to as candidates can reach voters through twitter, social media and the like)

Democrats were in this same position in 2018, but McConnell chose to not support some Republican challengers to Democrat seats because he was protecting his power base against potential Trump-supporting conservative Senate challengers.

The fear is that he's going to do the same thing in 2020. McConnell will put his own power security above keeping control of the Senate majority.

Objectively the Republicans have at least a good of a chance, probably better than the Democrats of capturing all 3 branches of Government.

But you won’t read or hear a single new story about that.

Only stories that the Democrats are poised to take the Senate, Presidency and hold on to the House.

I’m waiting for the Fox poll showing Democrats ahead in all 35 contested senate races. We already know the Republicans will not win a single seat in the House...

Why is Fox News moving left? Perhaps this is why, Rupert may be conservative but his heirs appear to be to his LEFT!

James Murdoch, the son of billionaire and Fox Corporation founder Rupert Murdoch, and his wife Kathryn have donated $1.23 million to former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, according to filings.

“Cook Report, a leading non-partisan”

Wikipedia: The Cook Political Report
2016
In the presidential election, Cook predicted that Hillary Clinton would win Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin; it also rated North Carolina, Florida, Maine’s 2d Congressional District, and Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District as “toss-ups”. In the end, Trump won all of these states and districts, though for the most part by narrow margins...

“Wave” implies water.

Green water is slimy, dirty water.

Green wave?

Perfect.
