It does have me bit concerned not because I believe them but because I am not seeing the same fervor on the right, I know that a lot of the right is just not going to talks to pollsters but still I am just not seeing much of anything out of the republicans side when there is so much that they could be using to promote there side

I afford the whole notion of the "Blue Wave" zero validity. It's wishful thinking and yet another attempt by the left to push its anti-Trump agenda.

This morning on MSMBC's Morning Joe program, co-host Mika Brzezinski speaking about the upcoming mid-terms proclaimed, "I think many people from the right will join the left to push back against Trump."

Wouldn't that make it a purple wave?


Eh...wot?

Anybody in their right mind knows the media is in a losing frenzy.
My biggest worry is the city populations outnumbering the conservatives, making them the majority and favoring them in the popular vote.
Only thing saving our bacon now is Electoral College.
And you can bet voter fraud will be out in full force next election.

I put zero validity to anything they say. They are just trying to make people believe a blue wave is going to happen so the Trump supporters will say "whats the use" and stay home. I have news for them though, the more they bash him, the more people see the swamp in action.

Here in rural America people are still boarding the Trump Train and can't wait to "pull the lever." They have given up on any conversation with anyone with a left view and are waiting to take silent action.

Not that the MSM would be bias in any way! LOL They have been pushing their own agenda for years so much they lost their credibility with the people. About everything they do is loaded today even the timing of the news in loaded from the story before to make 2 stories look related in one way or another even if they are not.

The media has become the enemy today plain and simple, the fact that the news is dead and opinion rules today.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Not that I believe ANY news media but I think the Blue Wave might be a concern. I think that so many dems were mad that they couldnt vote for Bernie they didnt vote at all or voted for Jill Stein. Since then the Trump haters have came out of the wood work and they seem to be growing. You cant turn on the TV,open the paper or FB without seeing anti Trump propaganda. This socialist movement is bigger than I ever thought it was.

Regardless of color, I believe people still vote with the biggest emphasis on their pocketbooks.

Hard to tell with the main stream media. They seldom get it right.

If you just take historical trends as an indicator for the midterms, the Democrats will almost certainly gain seats in the house and probably gain seats in the Senate. In 35 out of the last 38 midterm elections the party in the White House lost seats in the House, and they've lost seat in 19 out of 26 midterms in the Senate since 1913. Adding to the bad news (historically speaking), when a president's job-approval rating hovers below 50%, the president's party tends to lose big in the midterms - Trump has averaged at 40%.

Nevertheless, even if Democrats win all their expected seats in the House, Republicans still might control the House, and Democrats could lose 5 seats in the Senate all due to redistricting. David Wasserman made this argument in his Aug. 7th, 2017 article: The Congressional Map Has A Record-Setting Bias Against Democrats

Actually I think it just levels the playing field as the first "map making" favored dems heavily.

I think many "solid union democrat" voters. Are on the trump train now. He speaks the working guys language and he's fighting against the garbage in Washington republican and democrat

I do not think its politics anymore, I think it is more about what is right for us and our countrymen Not even I the old tried and true issues of gun rights, abortion and who marries who are going to be the motivators Is simply about the average working American wanting what is good and right for their family and their neighbors family

I think the same thing Rat. Everyone needs to understand if the Dems take the house. The Trump train comes to a stop for the most part. That means no more 4% growth. The fake news lambasted him for suggesting such a thing 20 months ago. They said he was deceiving the American people and that it wasn’t possible and we had to just get used to 1.5% GDP. WELL THEY WHERE WRONG!,

Vote and make sure you tell other supporters of his to vote.

I predict that the Dems will gain just enough House seats for a narrow majority, and the Reps will gain a couple of Senate seats due to the map. Very typical of a mid-term election, maybe a tide, not a wave.
