SIREN: Pollsters Say Democrats Might Fall Short In Retaking the House

SIREN: Pollsters Say Democrats Might Fall Short In Retaking the House...Which Could Trigger Another Meltdown (FULL TITLE)

So, with Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court after a hellacious confirmation battle, it’s no shocker that liberals are angry. They lost. We won. Regardless, Democrats losing means it was a great day in America. Still, we’ve heard about the blue wave, the hyper-Democratic voter enthusiasm, and how some revolution will begin now that Kavanaugh has been seated, undoubtedly constrained to the most liberal parts of the country. The generic ballot advantage has favored the Democratic Party all year, though, in recent weeks, the Left’s character assassination campaign against Kavanaugh has energized Republicans like never before. Republican women are furious over this smear campaign, and they’re ready to punish Democrats for it. Not all women, indeed.

Now, with the GOP base just as animated, it’s now confirmed that the Democrats’ "destroy Kavanaugh" campaign wasn’t a brilliant kill shot; it was a dirty bomb that blew up in their faces. Pollsters from The New York Times, CBS News, and FiveThirtyEight are giving rather measured analyses on the upcoming midterm election, which are 29 days away. In short, the Democrats could fall short in retaking the House. With the GOP in better shape for the Senate races, which has always been the case, the fact that the Left could fail in their titanic endeavor would be another meltdown of epic proportions; one that I want to happen so desperately. Mr. Pollowitz at Twitchy compiled the threads.

I’ll be way surprised if we don’t pick up 6 seats in the house.

I think it will be a tidal wave of Republican victory.
What do the democrats have to offer? Impeachments? Raising taxes? Trashing healthcare more? Trashing the economy?
What do they have?
Nothing. Zero. They can offer nothing.
They stand for illegals over Americans; lawlessness, and hate.
That is it.
We have had two great years; its real easy to get out there and vote for two more.
Call friends and family; hell, drive friends and family and just turn out the vote.
This is the best we alive have had it since Ronldus Maximus.

VOTE!

Like one of my coworkers asked this morning with a smile as wide as the grand canyon, you tired of winning yet?

Should Republicans manage to do that, they should reenact the 60 vote rule, because eventually, Democrats will be back in power.

The dims will only fall short if we all (Conservatives, Republicans, Independants and those Dems that voted for Trump) actually get out and vote!

24 of those 33 are Dems defending seats

Florida
Missouri
South Dakota
Indiana
West Virginia
even New Jersey

looks easily within reach if we WIN house seats

New Jersey would be a real surprise.

In the Rust Belt, we have a strong chance of picking up big numbers.

I wish the GOP would throw some money to Virginia. Tim Kaine is running ads like he’s worried or just has money to burn. I know everyone thinks Virginia is a lost cause but I would give my eye teeth to see Tim Kaine go down.

My understanding is it only takes a majority to change the rule, and the Dems would have no qualms about changing it back. I'm afraid that genie won't go back in the bottle.

There are always enough weak Republicans to make sure the 60 vote rule would never hurt the 'Rats anyway.
