Don’t get too excited. There’s a bigger blip on the same chart, presumably over the tax cut package in December. I expect this is to do with Korea and maybe China. If either of those falls through, we’ll probably revert to normal.

That's a very plausible theory.

This time around, cook the polls to favor Republicans to motivate Democrats to turn out.

The RAT side of the UniParty needs to get their best spokesperson on out there in front of the public to spew their message: The one, the only......MadMaxiePad
She is the face and voice of the RATs, and they need to get her more daily publicity. Run, MadMaxie, RUUUNNN!!! And while you’re at it, pick that stupid-looking, brain-dead Lewis as a running mate. Yes!! That’s the ticket to win back America...LOL..../S

Stop attacking the wrong side. There is an attempted coupe underway and you are concerned about the “GOPe”?

Did you forget the sarcasm tag, or did you forget that the GOPe has been aiding and abetting the coup d'etat?

Not how I see it. This is the Trump era. If people have to juggle flaming chainsaws while riding their bicycles to the vote, they will.

I guess now we know why there have been two school shootings in fairly rapid succession.

Not a shock to those of us with a firm grip on reality.

Interesting. I just got an email from Steve Scalise saying the Republicans’ chances in the mid-terms were deteriorating and there was a 50% chance of losing control of the House.

Asking for donations of course.

It may if the people realize they care more about MS-13 than they do about Americans. Last week was monumental.

>>The Dims are running on “Raise Your Taxes” & “Impeach 45”, and they are shocked this is a losing message?<<

...and they’re against the border wall, want no control of illegal immigration, and are Ok with our daughters being tortured, raped, and brutally murdered by MS-13 gangs and Muzzie terrorists.

IMO, the generic poll is not a good indicator of the individual races. I never believed the “blue wave” narrative but historically speaking, the party in power loses seats. I expect to see that again but not as many.
The democrats will nationalize the Virginia campaign and have the shady groups set up more shady groups and spend loads of untraceable shady money lying for the next few months.

brutally murdered by MS-13 gangs

One of the highlights last week when Pelosi, referencing MS-13 animals, said that "all people have a spark of the divine in them." LOL. Let's hope they stick with that message.

Even a small shift in Black support for Trump would account for this.

What is called RINO or GOPe reflect the overall view of the Republican voters, like it or not. That is who runs campaigns and get elected. The tail is not going to wag the dog.

TX liberals are still insisting a “blue wave” will let them retire TCruz and maybe even win the governorship.

I’m not taking anything for granted, regardless of how positive the news is. I’ll be there on election day.

No thanks to the butt munch Ryano who defunded the wall. If the wall had been funded the lead would be 15 points.
