A blue wave ain't happening. I'd bet on R gains, in fact, BUT turnout is the key, so let's not get over confident. Dems have so much rage fueling them every day, every hour that their turnout could be huge.

Their rage doesn't equal mine, and that's likely the case for many of us here, but the rest of the base may not feel as strongly.

I'm betting, and hoping they do feel as strongly about this as we do.

I will be shocked if any independents vote for open borders, MS-13, higher taxes, impeachment, fewer jobs, lower wages, and all the rest. I have the exact feeling I had early Nov. '16, failing to conceive how Hillary could be elected.

IMO the Reps will be fortunate to retain control of the House. It will boil down to turnout. Let's see what happens to Balderson on Tuesday. The Dems have been turning out for the special elections to a much greater degree than Reps.

Trump will be on the campaign trail big time. Obama is expected to get involved as well. The MSM will be working with the Dems. This has become a referendum on the Trump administration. Rep candidates must adopt the Trump positions on the issues or they will surely lose. Immigration and trade will be the litmus tests.
