Fall Forecast: An Anti-Leftist Electoral Rout....

The base of the GOP is staying, about 88% of them, and what you call the "normal people" in the GOP, the 12% who might be "leaving", are not apt to vote for a Socialist government. They're likely to just stay home. I'd say much the same for the independents. They're likely to just stay home, than to vote for a choice between Trump and Socialism.

I don't know if the Republicans will hold the House or not. I think they have to cut their "generic congressional poll" deficit down to about 4 or 5 points to have a shot at it. So they do have a bit of an uphill climb as it stands today.

 

From your mouth to God's ears. I hope you and PJM are correct.

 

I'm with you in spirit but the left owns the education system, the media and the Hollywood propaganda machine. They are entrenched in the education system and that's where most of the doctrine we see today originates. It's going to be a long hard fight to restore some sanity to the system.

 

Anybody who makes a prediction about elections more than two days out - with Trump craziness going on each day - is basically tossing a coin and hoping for heads.
I sure wouldn't.

 

Don't worry - Trump has to leave office eventually.

 

The good news is.....the left proves time and time again that they excel at failing.

 

Tell that to the Lame Stream, since they keep moving the goal posts with each Special Election even after they are proven wrong.

 

Ah, so you are resigned to the fact that happens in 2025. Spread that around to the rest of the leftness. Would ya.

 

You know, the media includes the hundreds of local stations and papers that get about 90% of the election predictions correct. You can pull "lame stream," crap out
your ass till it bleeds, but on the whole, they do get it right.

 

There were hundreds of predictions that the Democrats were dead after Reagan's big win ... a few years later, and Clinton takes the White House.
Then people predicted the right was dead ... a few years later, Bush takes the WH.
Then Obama sweeps 8 years - and now it's Trump.

Then pendulum just swings back and forth.

 

So you agree with Politico that Trump is polling higher in the States than the National Averages, huh? Well I will be damned, a leftist that is learning.

Oh and the Main Stream media.....are of the Beltway. Just an FYI there to continue with your learnin.

 

Clinton and the Demos didn't have Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Latinos, and Blue Dog Demos leaving them in droves. Nor did they have Liberals Start up a movement # Walkaway.

Looks like that hope on the History of the Midterms.....will be another failure of the Leftness and their Lame Stream media.

 

The larger news networks are all owned by Wall Street companies - and if I want "learnin" I'll talk to someone who knows their ass from a hole in the ground, not some lame blog poster.

 

Walk away doesn't mean crap when the Republicans have also lost members (down 4%). In fact, the Dems still have the same percentage of the voters they had 20 years ago while the
Republicans are down overall. Will it translate into a win - I'm not going to hazard a guess. But the walk away is worthless to Republicans if they are also losing.

 

To bad BO the Peep caused the Demos to lose over 1000 seats. But hey 4% of 100 and the Demos are on a roll, Right?

 

Actually, I hope BOTH parties lose seats and we start getting third party people in there.

 

Well that won't be happening with this upcoming election. Still, when the Demos and the lefts issues are polling at less than 1%, and their Racial issue at less than 7%. Pretty much tells one what the perspective of the American people.....is!

Of course their Politicos.....won't be persuaded as to think otherwise. But then just what have they learned. The answer is clear.....not a damn thing.


8 Insights From Heartland Reporter Salena Zito’s Book About Trump’s America


Salena Zito allows Americans to tell their own stories, and fashions it into a readable overview salted with polling from Brad Todd that shows their dispositions illustrate far larger trends.

Zito was a writer for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review for 11 years before moving to the New York Post in 2016 after her reporting revealed a rare finger on Trump America’s pulse during that wild, paradigm-shattering election. She is now a Washington Examiner writer and CNN analyst. This, her first book, recommends itself to every civic-minded American. Its themes go straight to the heart of American life.

These kinds of Americans are rarely interviewed by national reporters (when news today is reported at all instead of spontaneously generated from a floating head full of hot air). The interviewees are deeply invested in local communities that span a large chunk of heartland America. They lead unions, companies, volunteer organizations, churches, and families. They come across as thoughtful, observant, credible, and most of all the kind of invested, attentive citizens I’m proud to share a country with. They have things to say that the rest of us ought to hear.

Here are a few selected excerpts containing a good deal of common sense about where America is today and how it got here. I heartily recommend reading the book for a deeper sense of today’s American life in the era of Trump, and beyond. This is just a small taste of the side of America that, even after 2016, remains far less visible but no less consequential than the lifestyles of the rich and famous.

1. Deep Concerns Over a Loss of the American Work Ethic
2. Unlikely Effects of Campaign Finance Restrictions
3. The College Bubble Twists a Knife Into Flyover Country
4. Distance, Not Education, Turned College-Educated Against Trump Voters
5. The Double Standard on Clinton Was Painfully Obvious
6. Ordinary Americans Definitely Get Basic Economics
7. Politicizing Institutions Breeds Distrust
8. There’s Unity Among Left and Right Against Big _____
Another part of this ecosystem of distrust is growing unease with large institutions — businesses, government, media. As I learned when reporting my own book about a different topic that touches on this current, growing antipathy towards “Big” is bipartisan among ground-level Americans.

If Trump voters are to be believed, this was happening long before Indiana and bathroom bills. It just took that altercation for more people to see what Trump voters were seeing. For me, the recognition broke during the Common Core fights, which featured the same paradigm break of big versus little rather than Right versus Left. Trump’s election was another breakout of this pattern. Don’t expect it to be the last.....snip~

If the country goes any more left and the ballot box can not correct it back to center, people will start taking things into their own hands if history is any indicator.

Watching American legislators put non citizens ahead of our own is concerning, Debt, Broke Judicial system, Corrupt politicians and bureaucrats protecting themselves with redaction, procedure and policy, deep division amongst our very own States, identity politics etc etc. Today, our political elite on both sides demand division.....think about it

Trust in Government is at a record low, regardless of party.

Once a majority of people feel current government is no longer legitimate, game on with steroids and all of this was self inflicted....from within and finger pointing is moot.


Kinda set a record, in less than 300 years.

 

Oh get real. It's only crazy assed blog posters who are actively talking about armed insurrections. All in all the economy is fairly stable, unemployment low and there are no shortages of
food and goods - those are the elements needed for revolution. Right now it's just moronic right and left wing wackos who talk about revolution - you need widespread dissatisfaction - and that we ain't got.

 

Indeed. All is well. Why fix what is not broken?
Elect and re-elect Republicans! Re-elect Trump!

 

We can have the Republican economic agenda without the Drama Queen Trump. Better yet.

 

It did not seem like an option two years ago.

 

Democratic landslide all across Memphis TN (Shelby county) yesterday. Ho hum.

Yes, it's more Democratic than the rest of Tennessee, but the government there had been Republican-dominated, at least before yesterday.

What that? Walkaway didn't happen? The entire concept of Walkaway is a fiction dreamed up by desperate Trump fans in a vain attempt to convince themselves they're not losing big? Imagine that.

Meanwhile, in Ohio, a congressional seat in a heavily Republican district is a tossup in the upcoming special election.

 

Congressional elections not during a presidential year have a lot to do with the individual candidates - though the MSM claims it is solely a referendum on Trump. Simple minded people believe that claim.

 

I think it's more they're trying to convince themselves rather than convince anyone else. I think the Clinton strategy was to constantly point out how far ahead in the polls she was, hoping to discourage Republicans from voting - why bother? But it backfired - Dems thought she had it in the bag so why bother?
