Media step back from Democrat 'blue wave' predictions
by Eddie Scarry | Mar 9, 2018, 12:01 AM

The national media are scaling back their prediction for a Democratic "blue wave" in the 2018 midterms, in light of a new poll that shows some Democrats are vulnerable and a healthy GOP turnout in Texas this week.

Fueled in part by Republican-backed tax cuts that increased the paychecks for most people, Republicans and President Trump have seen their own poll numbers rise, and what was previously viewed as a coming reckoning by Democrats has stalled.

The website Axios on Thursday published a poll that showed “big warning signs for Senate Democrats.” It noted that in 10 states where Democrats are defending Senate seats, a Republican opponent polls either ahead or close to the Democrat in five of those states (though in most of the races, the GOP has not chosen its nominee yet).

Certainly was good news coming in the other night from TX, but the GOP shouldn't lose sight of the recent seats lost to the DEMS.  The worst thing that could happen to the GOP right now is to get overly confident and complacent.  The DEM turnout though not as great as the GOP turnout in TX, was significant.  Never underestimate the depths of corruption that the DEMS will go through to win.

I think I'm gonna suspend my suspicion of the Media for this article.

Sounds good to me.

I never really believed in a Blue Wave.

Aside from Trump hate, what do the Dems really have to offer?  A bunch of policies nobody likes and no viable candidate for 2020.  They have two years to find someone who doesn't make everyone throw up.

No, and remember the forces of evil are on their side.  And the forces of evil are well-funded by Soros, etal.  Plus, the media trounces Trump every day.

Just this morning Yahoo outdid itself.  They had a story of a mother being snatched from her crying children as she was sent back to her point of entry.  I was sobbing as I read it.

The problem is, none of those stories make people want to be on the side of illegal aliens.  They are criminals by definition.  They use our resources, some of them take our jobs but most are content to take our welfare.  They have a LOT of children.

I'll bet the average Hispanic Woman has 5 or 6 compared to one or two for the average white family. 

So ... what policies do they have that would attract voters?

Gun control?  Hah!  Sanctuary Cities?  Hah.  Hillary and Michelle?

If the media is no longer blowing smoke up our butt on this, then they are far more worried than just 'stepping back'.

Or, someone has told them to shut up so the Soros monkeys can set up the rope-a-dope.

The worst thing that could happen to the GOP, is to remain fractured, fighting internally.

Another harmful thing, is for "conservatives," and "Republicans" to have weak persuasion "selling" skills.
