Is there really going to be a blue wave during mid terms?

[dennishoddy]

It appears not. The dims are not thumping the podium quite as much now, playing down the election results.
Obama recently did a rally in Nevada. Drew a little over 2000 in the audience basically talking about himself, and not the candidate he was there to support. Joe Biden, a possible runner for POTUS barely got 500 in another part of the country for a speech.
Trump got around 20,000 with people turned away in Texas today.
It seems the blue wave is not even going to be a ripple.

Every time I hear "Blue Wave", I have a flashback to the '70's Tidy Bowl commercial with the little guy in the boat...…….

At this point there is no telling. Historically the out of power wins the House in the first midterm of a presidency. Sometimes they will win the Senate too but that is never certain. If they do not take the House it is a sign the party is in real trouble and needs to rethink their message. Right now the far left wackos and the recent Supreme Court dirty tricks are hurting the Democrats chances almost as much as not offering any plans or new ideas. All they have is hate Trump.

With everyone hating the robo-calls and such, I wouldn't put any confidence in any polls today. Having said that, I'm sure both sides are working overtime trying to get every voter they can to actually vote this time. Whichever way it goes, the next two years are going to be even worse than the last two.

It's a toss-up IMO. Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large numbers.

At this point, I wouldn't put money on it either way. :/

They have no message. Their message is to impeach Kavenaugh and Trump. They have no message about the economy, and in fact some libs are actually commenting the economy is great right now in one breath while spouting the person that started it on its historical run should be put out of office. WTF?
Obama could only talk about himself and how he was responsible for the current economy. Seriously? Start at 3:00 for a shortcut

Only worse if it goes one way.

And yet he got elected twice... :/

And said he would be elected for a third if he could.
How would you rate his performance on the economy, jobs, and the stock market in his 8 years vs two of Trump?

Lol, Obama wouldn't even be on the scale.

However, see my previous post.... Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large numbers.
