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.

You’re on the right track, Goran, but you’re not seeing the entire picture. American voters have five more months of a roaring economy, less taxes taken out of their paychecks, and more job opportunities. They have more time to appreciate the peace process in North Korea, Trump’s strong pimp hand in Iran and Palestine, and the EU leaders capitulation to Trump’s vision. The red wave right now may be smaller, but the Democrats have completely destroyed their chances with their #resist, their temper tantrums, and their nefarious plots to oust a legally elected President who, contrary to all elite opinions, has been most excellent for the nation!
Voters will want more of the same, even if they don’t like Trump personally. They will want more winning and less whining! Democrats are not even worth considering right now.

Add to this hat midterm elections are not usually well attended. Only people truly civic minded and or interested in politics bother to vote in the midterms. This means that the party with the base that is the MOST fired up and enthusiastic usually wins easily. In 2010 this was Republicans upset with obamacare and Democrat disdain who gave Obama his famous “shellacking.”
I think half the potential Democrat voters this time will probably stay home.

The red wave is not only coming. It’s going to be MASSIVE!

America is tired of a party of liberal sheltered elite that pushes transgender bathrooms on everyone.

Obama’s redlines were a joke

so far it’s almost exclusively Democrats fighting for the People, our Liberties and Freedoms, and if the Trumpublicans continue to wage War against the citizenry


Which Democrats would that be?



Seems like Demo Dummies made their hand public and they aren't fighting for the people, they are going to actively oppress their wallets.

Now I’m just confused about what you could possibly mean? Examples are warranted for this kind of baseless statement. Change my mind!

It hasn't "decided" many elections for Democrats since 2010. Over 1,000 lost elected seats. Then of course you have Trump.

If elections were decided by coastal liberal strongholds, then you might have a point. But the people sitting on their farms in Kansas think people like Pelosi are a complete joke.

America is a Christian nation. And if you grew up here, you’d know that, and you’d know why.

I love how leftist say "Americans don't like Christians" yet think Americans will somehow like:

- Trannies
- ANTIFA
- Muslims
- Illegal Aliens
- Homeless Drug Addicts

Cannabis will not be a deciding factor. Many states are in the process of legalizing it or already have and Trump will leave them alone. Actually instead of harping on the Feds which have stood back entirely under DT, the majority of issues for Cannabis are municipal legislations, e.g. many cities in CA have outlawed Cannabis or made it extremely difficult to sell for a profit by requiring expensive licenses and levying harsh taxes and fines. Plus CA tax revenue is not even 1/3rd of the projected revenue from Cannabis to date because they immediately taxed it to the hilt and people are going back to the black market. In any case, there are more important topics, but long-term it the legalization will progress - and rightfully so as science is on the side of Cannabis - and the only questions will be those of taxation.

The stupid Fing thing is that the same people who bash people who hold up Pro-Life signs, are the same people who are like "They throw molotovs and terrorize because they're injured oppressed people" for Muslims. Including those in the US.

It never is. The people who are serious about legalizing it at any cost!!! Are the ones who are too high to remember to go and vote.

Even in Liberal California, the measure failed several times to win voter approval before finally passing two years ago with a simple majority. That should show you what a miserably poor bet it is to depend on pot smokers for electoral victory.
11   Goran_K   @   2018 May 14, 9:37am  

If I was in the IDF and thousands of muslims were trying to break through a wall, throwing molotovs, firing AK47s into the air, yelling "Death to Jews!", I'd probably respond with a few strings of 5.56 fire and a grenade or two to get them to back the fck up.

I am hoping that those of you whom are all comfy in thinking that the big orange turd and his party will be all good during the mid terms continue to remain blisfully ignorant: The rest of us- the approximately 60% of us who do not support Trump are furious and we will vote.

So you are coming out now but not November 2016 when the actual presidency and SCOTUS was on the line?

17   edvard   @   2018 May 14, 11:04am  

"So you are coming out now but not November 2016?"

I voted then and I will vote now. Another thing you guys are probably totally going to be caught off guard with is that pretty much ALL of the post millennial generation leans very heavily to the left... as in FDR new deal left. They are also incredibly politically active- more so than the millineials- and will be eligible to vote in November.

Either way... the rest of the country says enough is enough. Prepare for some changes in the following months. The freak show has gone on for long enough
18   Goran_K   @   2018 May 14, 11:06am  

We will see but the latest polling data shows that traditional DNC voting demographics are dwindling in support.

"[S]upport for Democrats is down among millennials, blacks, and so-called Walmart and NASCAR voters," Zogby reports — all key constituencies the Democrats require to retake the House and Senate in November — and the declines are significant. Democrats have "lost more than 10% of support among voters aged 18-50, 14 percent among Millennials aged 18-29" and have lost more than 20% of support among African-Americans during the same time period.“

You mean to tell us that the young and stupid ARE young and stupid?? Shocker! Young dopes voting for Democrats who promise them all sorts of free shit after 12-16 years of Liberal indoctrination in our schools?

Unfortunately for Democrats, many of the young and stupid grow up, get jobs, have kids, pay taxes and finally realize the Democrat policies are retarded.

No, I mean to indicate that the youth of today don't tend to get their "news" from FOX or Rush Limbaugh or any of the other tinfoil, conspiracy bullshit sources that Trump supporters tend to get theirs from. Today's youth grew up with wide access to online information and unlike the older conservatives see right through bullshit pretty easily.

Most of today's youth are completely against conservative ideology. So continue being as ass and call them stupid: They will be calling the shots before long.

That's not what I'm seeing. As of right now the numbers are about the same as they've always been with Trump still only showing a 40% approval rating. That has been unchanged since the election. His party is overwhelmingly unpopular too.

Hey who can I donate to if I want to make sure the Russia Collusion and Impeach Trump is best represented for the Democrats in November?

I'm asking for a friend.

Theoretically yes. But every nation has roots and the American roots are clearly 100% Christian. Nobody is being disadvantaged because of their religion, in fact it's the often the opposite. Tell me why Christians cannot demand a prayer room or time for prayer but it is considered discrimination by most corporate handbooks to rally against a muslim prayer room. Really, I'd like to understand what you're angry about, Trump is as American as one can get, with all their faults and virtues. Everything else brought on from the outside and supported by the left simply undermines tribal cohesion. What have American Christians done to you besides providing you an exceptional country with ample opportunity for the pursuit of happiness and no amount of any discrimination whatsoever?

I was once one of the young and stupid. All my college friends were all Democrats and pro-Clinton. We all hated Rush and Talk Radio (no Fox news back then) and got all of our information from the big 3 networks, CNN and a few big city newspapers along with "cool" magazines like the Nation, Mother Jones and Rolling Stone.

We were totally strident and cock-sure of ourselves. We knew everything and all the old people were dumb - we thought. Many of the bloody Marxist revolutions that killed millions of people around the world were lead by the same cock-sure students who couldn't change a flat tire, but thought they could run massive economies and curb human nature.

Thankfully, many of us got older, wiser, responsibilities, jobs, money, families and got a clue.

I do not support Trump, did not vote for him or anyone else in previous election, and likely will not vote in next elections as well - it can be safely predicted that D's will trot out a Turd that will be Bigger than Turd of R's. Case in point - previous elections where D's fielded the only candidate in universe who was able to lose to Trump, while screwing over a left-wing populist who probably would have won the election. And no, I would not have voted for Sanders as well.

Having said that, I remember similar rhetoric about Trump's un-electablility up to right before his election. How did that end for deniers of reality who have not been out of their $2 million DC townhouses?

Yeah... I bet you were... But nevertheless I was at one time maybe a moderate Democrat and now that I'm in my 40's, have a house payment, make a good income, pay taxes and all that other stuff you mentioned I've grown even more liberal and that goes for most people I know. Perhaps its not that I've grown more liberal but that the right has gone more extreme.

I'm sorry but growing wiser and mixing with with becoming more conservative doesn't make sense. Generally people are supposed to become more intelligent versus regressing and joining the party of the weak minded and imbecilic.
