How the impending red wave could become a tsunami
The Hill ^ | 10/31/2022 | DOUGLAS E. SCHOEN

Posted on 10/31/2022 7:11:58 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The Republican Party’s midterm prospects have markedly improved over the last several weeks. But will 2022 be a red wave election year on par with GOP victories in 1994 and 2010?

The warning signs are clearly flashing for the Democratic Party. Recent polling finds that support for Republicans — both generically and in individual races — has increased substantially amid heightened national concerns about the economy and crime, two issues that the GOP leads on. Meanwhile, protecting abortion rights, the crux of the Democratic agenda has become a much less salient issue.

This election will demonstrate whether the ballot box still works.

Agree so many shady dealings going on with the ballots now 2016 may have been our last one.

I thought The Hill said The AstroNut, The Warlock and Quasimodo were winning?

Tim Ryan is running ads here in Ohio saying that JD Vance’s company promoted China buying farmland in US. It’s gonna kill JD’s chances.

Is it true? If it is then it should be something that concerns folks.

I admit I haven’t followed the OHIO Senate race closely at all, on a gut level I am hard pressed to believe that OHIO is going to go statewide blue, but JD does have a history of being less than MAGA, and now trying to claim embracement may make support of him wishy washy... we shall see.

If OZ takes PA, I really don’t see how JD would lose in OHIO, but we shall see, just over a week to go..

The question this cycle has not been, will the GOP win.. the questions have been two fold...

1) how big the victory will be

and

2) How many new RINOS/UNIPARTY GLOBALISTS will we wind up being stuck with when its over.

The first is dependent on how the election plays out... and while the media and dems tried to turn the overturn of Roe (which was absolutely the right legal decision) a major issue the reality is, its not and never has been. If someone was strong in support of Roe they were going to vote D anyway.. so pretending that was going to play a major factor in the race was delusional from the start.. It MIGHT motivate a little more turn out/improve enthusiasm among the D base, but hardly was it going to reshape the fall eleciton.... this election was going to either be 1) individual races with GOP having the classical advantages of Bad Ecomomy, Party not in the WH in a mid term, and a grossly unpopular president... Where the general trend would be GOP gains, but individual races would still be driven by candidates, so it would not be a full on slaughter for the D’s or 2) a complete and total repudiation of the D brand because of just how bad this current administration has done.... If this is the case, candidates won’t matter, and it will just be a large scale repudiation of democrats up and down the ballot with only the most BLUE of blue districts safe, and a few, very rare exceptions where the R candidate was just too objectionable.

It certainly appears the latter is the case at this point.

I mean if Washington State Polling is showing the Senate race, well even remotely a race at all, that shows things are going very very badly for the D’s everywhere... There is no way to argue without lying out your butt, that this is looking very very bad for D’s across the board...

I know the NYT published some push polling today that showed Ds up in a lot of key races, but I don’t even need to see the internals to know they are a joke.

Look where they are spending money, that’s always where the truth lies... they are having to pump money into places that should be automatic... will they lose them? Probably not, but the fact they have to pump money into “given” places in the last weeks to shore them up tells you that its going to be a very BAD night for Dems.

Sadly the answer to number 2 is we are very likely going to get a bunch of new unreliable R’s tagging along (rinos/Uniparty hacks/globalists) riding along in this wave... So they folks we got rid of will likely be replaced by a new batch who will betray and undermine us when it matters.

The Rats are going to steal this election too.

The DEmocrats will launch WW III before the Vote and Cancel the election for six months or peace with a Russian surrender. Only Red states will be attacked by Russia. A Nation without Florida, Texas would be best.

That’s all?

5 items all offered as evidence of my allegations and your only reply is to one source you choose to object to.. not the content of course but the source..

You prefer a different source? Here ya go… going to claim the Washington examiner is a left wing rag?

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/oz-vote-certify-2020-election-acquit-trump

Of course not one objection to the content because the content is not able to be objected…

Going to claim OZ’s own Twitter feed is a left wing rag lying?

You choose to ignore reality that’s your prerogative.

OZ is a fraud, Uniparty, Rino hack… you want to ignore it be my guest but the facts are the facts

That’s it? What happened to your guns are a health problem and all that? OK, so sit on your ass and let Fetterman win cause of one answer to a hypothetical question. You’re either a DU troll or a butthurt sore loser from the primaries.

Go check the first link it directs you directly to OZ’s own Twitter post about guns being a health care issue.

But I suppose you will argue OZ’s own Twitter feed is biased

So what? People can change their ideas. I used to be a Democrat. I voted for Jimmy Carter twice. I’m farther to the right than you. At least I’m not trying to help Democrat zombies win.

The only spin registering on my brain are the numbers that rotate on the gas pumps of America.

11% increase in central Indiana today - for $3.59 to $3.99 - 40¢.

I was able to find a place that hadn't jumped yet and filled up although I was only a bit under half full.

Still; 40 cents times 15 gallons is six bucks!

Well, the longer it takes, the less effect that it has because of early and mail-in voting.

Anyway, now it turns out that the attacker was an illegal - talk about karma being a bitch on wheels! Now there’s no spinning it their way, period.
