Reminder:

And the day before the election, Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball prophesied 322 electoral votes for Clinton and 216 for Trump.

So if Larry is talking 20 seats for Dems it probably will be a 25 seat gain for Republicans!

I'm glad you posted it so I didn't have to.

The fact that anyone still listens to this cumquat proves how little some people have learned in the past 2 years.

Anything short of a total ‘blue wave’ is an utter and complete failure by Democrats; the electorate tends to vote in the opposite party in the midterms (generally more motivated electorate upset about the loss, as well as putting the brakes on changes)

Anything less than a total House win and tying the Senate is failure. Abject and abysmal failure.

‘course the media will report anything as being a huge win for Democrats.

He’s like a weatherman, if he’s right 50% of the time he thinks he’s good.

That’s an amazing Crystal Ball. It just got the names backwards. And the numbers were slightly off.

So, he was close. Except for the wrong party winning.

Democrat is ALWAYS the WRONG PARTY.

I still say Republicans will gain 4 in the Senate and 2 in the House.

Thanks for the reminder!

The trend is our friend: 1) Blue wave, Democrats taking House and Senate; 2) Demos may not take Senate, but the House is in the bag; 3) Demos will not take the Senate, but probably have the House; 4) Demos will not take the Senate and will fall just shy of the House.

We still have two weeks until election day. It'll be a red wave yet!

Larry Sabato?

LOL.

People still pay attention to him?

On election eve, he said Hillary would win FL, NC, MI, WI and PA.

And that's just a small sample of how he's usually wrong, always for the Democrats.

Here in NH, it is a toss up. Carol Shea Porter is not running for re-election. For the Democrats, we have Chris Pappas (D) vs. Eddie Edwards (R). Pappas is 38 and the son of the owners of a very good chicken restaurant in Manchester. He went to Harvard and has been a state rep and on the executive council. He is openly gay which may make him the first person elected to congress that is openly gay. Eddie Edwards is a navy veteran and graduate of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. He was the chief of police for a town in NH. He is married (to a woman) and has two kids. Oh and btw, he is black. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1fJBqpuF6A I don’t see that as “likely Democratic”. Annie Kuster has been in congress off and on for years. She lost to a guy that was later found to have been corrupt with campaign finances. She faces Steve Negron - airforce veteran, small businessman, state rep. People in NH are fed up with DC politics and view Kuster as just a rubber stamp for whatever the Democrat leadership wants. Watch this on election night. Could be a +2 for the Republicans...

In my opinion, all pollsters were discredited during the 2016 election. I don't know why we all pay attention to them.

Also, this "conventional wisdom" that sitting presidents almost always lose seats in the mid-terms is no different than other CW canards like only AL teams win All-Star game in presidential years when Republicans win and other such nonsense.

Trump is one of the most successful presidents of all time and we will hold both houses of Congress if we all just get out and vote and ignore the polls and conventional wisdom.
