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

Back on topic ( I'm stunned and amazed at the inability of people around here to stay on topic, I've never de-railed a thread, and don't understand why anyone else should).

Democrats win the House, Republicans retain the Senate.
This was obvious twenty three month ago.

With the news today, I'm not even sure the GOP can retain the Senate.

All is lost!

RCP, their polling is usually pretty reliable, shows the Senate sitting at 50-44 for the Republicans and 6 toss ups. The base of that is 46 seats safe for the Republicans and only 37 safe for the Dems. The Dems would basically have to run the table on the toss-ups and steal a safe in order to take control of the Senate.

They show the Dems having a 205-199 lead in the House, with 31 toss ups. So they only need 13 of the 31 toss ups to take control.

We'll see how accurate the polling was this time around....

The same pollsters that predicted a landslide for hitlery are kinda backing off now on the midterms.
It was a consensus among liberal pollsters today on the radio that the Senate is going to go to the R's, and the house is up for grabs.

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?

And if the Republicans run another McCain, Cruz, or all the rest of those party hacks they will lose again.

When Trump term limits out, That is exactly who will be running. All the good ol boys will stand up and raise their hand to say it's "my turn".

When Trump term limits out, we will have a Democrat prez for 8 years. With only 2 exceptions it has been that way since WW2. Republicans vote for the GOP candidate, Democrats for the Dim, and independents flip every 8 years.

After this past week, I think the idea of a blue wave is much more likely.

I don’t know. This latest shooter hated Trump no matter how the media tries to spin it.

Dennis, I agree, but I really have little faith in the average voter going to the trouble of actually thinking before they vote.

I'm holding high hopes, fingers crossed, and all the rest!
