Wave watch: The blue wave is growing

Certainly for nearly 2 years.
That's when Hillary lost but, Democrats and their media had programmed for a Hillary win.
"Oh The Humanity!"



The Democratic Party has taught me to vote for the
Straight, White Man first.
If there are several to chose from, I will consider their politics.

It makes as much sense as the advocacy to vote for
anyone but a Straight White Man by the Democratic Party.
Senator Harris is an outstanding example of voting color, gender before worthiness.
We don't need the first female president, nor the first Latino president as badly as we need the best person for the job.
And it wasn't the First Black President, was it?


Moi

Actually no. I actually meant it as written. And if anyone actually knows me, via my many posts on different subjects, they would understand that I did mean what the words say. I detest both parties, for neither have represented the working class, lower middle and middle middle class for decades, according to the Princeton Study, that used nothing but congressional record to evidence WHO gets represented in DC. And this chaffs an old FDR liberal's arse.

Neither party represents me or people like me. So I could not care less about either party or their candidates unless they allow someone like sanders, or a populist to be in power. Trump ran as a populist, but that was to get elected. The country was ready for someone, either trump or sanders to represent them, after having zero representation for many decades. I think sanders would have tried harder to deliver. But who in the hell knows?

 

You wrote "I could care less". I know that you meant just the opposite. Now you're saying no when I'm sure mean yes.... oh never mind.

 

Blue wave? The only thing we can count out in life is that any stupid move the Republicans make will be matched by the Democrats a day later ...
I would guess a few seats gained at most - unless the market continues down.

 

If the Dems run with guys like this, they crush the republicans in every facet of every election across this entire country.

If the Dems don't pull a 10-seat majority the hose, they should consider the election a loss.

 

Indiana purged 460k voters.

Georgia is freezing 50k newly registered Black voters (and the person in charge of voter registration is currently running for governor in a close race against a black opponent)

Florida's voter registration site went down two days before the deadline (and they never fixed it)

North Dakota has made it effectively impossible for thousands of Native Americans to vote

There's a reason that Democrats are only 78% favorites to win the House back despite an average +6.8 on the generic ballot and running against a President that is an average -9.8 underwater.

 

November 6 will be a rendezvous with destiny as the bloated whoopie cushion of Trumpery rapidly deflates like an explosive Hindenburg of simulated flatulence, and Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Taylor Swift, and the balladeers of America will take the stage to lead the angelic people's chorus of seraphim, cherubim, thrones, dominions, virtues, powers, principalities, archangels, and angels in a rousing celebratory rendition of

A Republican red tide is pushing back against the Dems’ blue wave.....

This November, the question is: What will encourage the conservative populist coalition that put Donald Trump in the White House to vote for Republican candidates — and help keep their majorities — in both the House and Senate?

Would it be the president himself?

No.

If you understood what happened at all in 2016, the election was never about him. He didn’t cause the coalition to form, he was the result of it.

For the Trump coalition, this election was always going to be about the local issues that hit them where they live. Their suburbs, exurbs, small towns, mid-sized towns and farming communities have eroded over the past few generations. Trump intuitively knew that, and he knows this is what could galvanize them again in the midterms and maybe match the intensity of Democrats who will come out to vote against him.

Kelly is facing Democrat Ron DiNicola, a Harvard-educated lawyer, who served in the Marines and made a name for himself as a boxer as a young man. RealClearPolitics ranks this race as “Likely GOP.”

If people like Westbrook and Vogel coalesce around the GOP, the Democrats could be in trouble. And if the Democrats keep supporting people who claw at the doors of the Supreme Court in protest, or harass Republicans and their families at dinners, or talk nonstop about impeachment or echo Hillary Clinton’s sentiment that: “You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for,” then they may do what I thought unlikely: stop their own blue wave mid-flow.....snip~

Blue Wave.....meh!

 

And what exactly are you voting for?

Medicare for All? A job guarantee?

 

Democrats fear lackluster Latino support could undercut bid for Congress

Democrats are worried about Latino voters in the midterms, fearing that weak efforts to energize a core element of their base could imperil their bid to win control of Congress in next month's elections.

From the Sun Belt battlegrounds of Nevada and Arizona to sprawling turf wars in Texas and Florida, there are signs that the Hispanic vote - which party leaders have long hoped would be the foundation of future electoral success - has yet to flourish in their favor this year.....snip~




Nervous Democrats ask: Could Election Day disaster strike again?

It was this week two years ago that Hillary Clinton’s victory looked assured, when the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape of Donald Trump bragging about sexual assault appeared all but certain to end his campaign.

Jesse Ferguson remembers it well. The deputy press secretary for Clinton’s campaign also remembers what happened a month later.


It’s why this veteran Democratic operative can’t shake the feeling that, as promising as the next election looks for his party, it might still all turn out wrong.


“Election Day will either prove to me I have PTSD or show I’ve been living déjà vu,” Ferguson said. “I just don’t know which yet.”.....snip~


Imagine that!

 

It's comical watching both political parties scurry about frantically when total economic collapse is upon us, tick tock.....


Hickory dickory dock, the mice run up the clock.....

 

Trump is stinking up the Midwest for GOP candidates.

 

I'm voting for America to be the land of hope and opportunity for all Americans, regardless of race, color, national origin, gender or sexual orientation.
That's what I'm voting for.

 

Why are you telling us this?

Whatever hapoens will happen

I think insecure libs are trying to bolster their own courage

 

This is a section of PF devoted to elections and campaigns. The polling and other data points that are routinely used to predict elections are thus relevant topics for this section.

If you don't want to read about that type of information, don't visit this section.

 

Empirical data is often anathema to an emotional zealotry that triggers irrational denial.

(Witness anthropogenic climate change.)

​

 

I could do as well calling the Psychic Hotline

Because you are really just guessing and hoping

 

Hate to admit it, but I kind of miss the LW flagrantly biased "statistician" poster who would couch their partisanship in all manner of numerical walls in a vain attempt to make it appear objective. Amusing and fun to heckle.

To the topic, The coopted state of the U.S. MSM makes it impossible to make any reasonable predictions about U.S. elections, and this may be permanent. Hard to predict when basic information has proven to be unreliable. No one I know does anything other than "click" when contacted by any known polling group or LW MSM outlet. Only a couple of my RW friends ever post anything political to social media out of fear of persecution, tons of my LW friends do daily though.

Will be interesting, only prediction I am comfortable making.

 

I think I will start a bookmark file for all these left predictions that turn bad. Trump will never win the primary. Trump is a liberal trying to fool conservatives. Trump won't ever be president. Hillary is gonna win by a landslide. Clinton and the DNC didn't rig the primaries. Trump won't last 100 days before he's impeached. Trump will quit before 100 days have passed. The economy will collapse in the first 100 days. It will be "Armageddon". Trump will be impeached because of Stormy Daniels. (Her suit was thrown out of court)

Now it's the "blue wave". Not happening.

 

​

“Damned punks! Get off my voter roles!”
​

 

I think I am just going to ignore people whose sole contribution to the thread is to try and piss off the OP.

 

Yay. Another liberal is going to avoid the facts in order to preserve their warm fuzzy feeling about the elections. Keep on doing what you keep on doing.

 

Indeed.....and they have more problems than they know of.




The Democrats’ 2018 Achilles Heel: Latino Voters.....


In politics, you have to generalize a bit in order to create voter universes, right? Who to target, how to target, and how to drive voter turnout—those are pretty much the basics for a grassroots operation in an election year. For Democrats, they think young people and people of color can clinch them big wins this cycle. There’s only one problem: these people don’t really vote.

In deep blue California, NBC News failed to find really motivated and politically active voters at UC Irvine. These students know they should vote but were more than willing to say on camera to Democrats that they shouldn’t rely on them to vote this year. For Latino voters, Democrats think they can mobilize them big league due to President Trump’s common sense immigration, which some (pansies) view as hardline, but that hasn’t been the case. Is there anger? Yes, but NBC News also found that there’s not much motivation to get to the polls.

It’s horrendous in Texas, but the results have been the same across the country. If Democrats want a blue tsunami, well, the Latino voting bloc is forming a massive seawall to break a possible incoming wave. Democrats are also to blame for this, which is mentioned in the piece by Alex Seitz-Wald and Benjy Sarlin. The Democratic insanity over Trump is turning off whole hosts of voters to politics. Latino voters break heavily Democratic this year in terms of preference for who should control Congress, but no one is jacked up to vote this year (via NBC News):

On paper, some of congressional Democrats' best opportunities to pick up seats come from heavily Hispanic districts that are currently held by Republicans, but which Hillary Clinton won in 2016. Yet those are also some of the places where recent polls are showing Democratic candidates not doing as well as anticipated.

In Miami, Democrats risk blowing what was once seen as a sure-thing after they nominated former Bill Clinton Cabinet secretary Donna Shalala, who doesn't speak Spanish. Next door, GOP Rep. Carlos Curbelo is neck-and-neck with a Democratic challenger in a 70 percent Latino district that Clinton won by 16 percentage points.

In Nevada, incumbent Republican Sen. Dean Heller has been able to cling to a narrow lead by keeping a healthy 38 percent of Latino voters in his camp, according to a recent NBC News/Marist poll. And in the Las Vegas suburbs, handicappers just downgraded Democrats' prospects of holding onto the majority non-white 4th Congressional District.

Not far away in California, where Democrats are well-positioned to overcome 80 years of Republican dominance in the wealthy suburbs of Orange County, two GOP incumbents, Reps. Jeff Denham and David Valadao, look relatively strong in heavily Hispanic parts of the Central Valley.

And in Arizona, Democrat David Garcia's campaign to become the state’s first Latino governor has struggled to gain traction, even though Clinton came closer to winning that state in 2016 than any Democrat in years.....snip~

There is a blue wave! It's just the tide is going out.
