There will be no "Blue Wave", change my mind!

Yesterday former Bill Clinton advisor Dick Morris told radio host on New York's AM 970 that he believes the "blue wave" that Democrats are expecting to give them back the Senate and House will not materialize, and polling has backed him up.

Last week, CNN's mid term poll showed that Democrats only had a 3 point advantage, well within the margin of error, and considering that CNN is known for "oversampling" Democrats in its own polls, this is troubling for the DNC.

Additionally, a recent poll from Reuters (left leaning) has shown that Millennials are leaving the Democrat party in droves. Democrat membership in the 18-34 demographic (the bread and butter of the DNC) dropped 9% over the past 2 years, most of them becoming "independents".

"I think that [Democrats] see fool’s gold in these scandals," Morris said. "They’re putting everything behind the Stormy Daniels scandal and Michael Cohen … and the country doesn’t give a damn."

That's when Morris dropped his prediction.

"There is no blue wave coming," Morris exclaimed. "There is a red wave. And what makes it red is the blood of the Democratic Party."

Here's my official take. I believe the GOP will LOSE seats in the house but will not give it up to the DNC. I believe the GOP will GAIN seats in the senate, keeping their majority. This will mean that Trump will have both houses of congress for his entire term.

Kamala Harris?


Harris was born on October 20, 1964, in Oakland, California, to a Tamil Indian mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris (1938–2009), and a Jamaican father, Donald Harris.


Thanks.

Spanish broads are usually pretty Conservative, usually dictated by however much silly religion their parents subscribe to

That is part of it, another part is that the culture is very family-oriented. Someone here noted that one sees nearly no Hispanic homeless, which is extension of the same.

Show me one Mainstream Media Outlet that wasn't all but guaranteeing a Hillary Victory. Right here on this board, Trump supporters were being mocked for even bothering to contest the election given such overwhelming numbers.


just fyi-I did, but someone obviously doesn't want the truth to be visible so all my posts were flagged.

Yes I'd like to see the flagged comment as well. I browsed the moderation queue yesterday and this morning, I never saw any of these supposed "unfair" flagged posts.

Nor I. I'm pretty lenient, it's got to be a bald insult for me to mark it personal.

Sure--I believe it was post 348.

But the even funnier one is the post that was marked spam in another thread. I'd love for someone to tell me how my post can be considered spam.

Perhaps it would be reasonable to have two moderators agree if a comment has to be whacked, one moderator on left and one on right. I have noticed that a few comments that are quite personal do not disappear after being flagged.

Lol there’s six hardcore right wing moderators here and only another 8-10 people that ever come here to post. A moderator on the Left lol yea that ain’t going to fly on a website that abandoned it’s Free Speech mission early in 2017.


99.999% of your posts are left wing cheers and right wing disses and one only needs to click on your post history to see all of it has not been edited or nuked.

So your complaints are pretty unfounded.

I seriously invite anyone to look at Aphromans post history and see if it’s devoid of right wing disses that the “mods” have mysteriously removed.

Yes, keeping the forum civil and full of non-ad hom discourse is pleasurable to me. @Patrick also appreciates this I'm sure.

Showing your true motive of trolling is fun for me.

Goading you into it is too easy.

As long as you keep it non ad-hom, knock yourself out.

But now, let's keep it on topic. Thanks tatupu.

Guys let’s keep it on topic. Patrick has a thread for “discuss anything”. If you have complaints about the forum, go to that thread.

Thanks!

There have still been absolutely zero comments flagged for being political.

The problem is that people lose their composure and get personal. Please don't do that.

Apocalypsefuck, ironically, is a great example of a poster who never gets personal with the other users.
