Midterm election trends not looking good
By Carol Brown

We're two months out from the midterm elections, and the trend doesn't favor our team – in the Senate, the House, or governorships.

Despite a roster of Democratic candidates promoting socialist ideas, a lot of Americans don't seem to find the line-up of loons particularly crazy.  Many of these candidates are young, energetic, and charming, packaging socialism in a nice box with a neat little bow.

Mmm.  I'll take two, please.

Here's one: Robert Francis O'Rourke.  He adopted the nickname "Beto" to endear himself to the Hispanic community.

O'Rourke appears to be a highly calculated melding of Robert Kennedy (wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up partway) and Obama, who was brilliant at masking the evil in his heart with soaring rhetoric (to the numb and mindless).

Now, as O'Rourke crisscrosses the country, scarfing up gobs of money from coastal elites, Real Clear Politics has moved the Texas Senate race from "leans Republican" to "likely Republican" to "toss up."  It didn't take that long.  At the rate it's going, I won't be surprised if it soon shifts to "likely Dem."

Robert Francis (Paddy) O'Rouke is a total media construct currently being propped up by the likes of George Soros.

The topline numbers are not very useful until the election draws near, but it's worth paying attention to the trends.  And those have been heading in the wrong direction ever since Cohen plead guilty.

Give me a sample that reflects the demographics that actually votes in the mid-terms and that might convince me.

The polling firms will transition to "likely voter" surveys in the coming weeks.  If Dems are more enthused, the filtered numbers may be similar to the ones we are seeing.
