You have a brown wave crashing the border and you're holding out hope for dems?

With the generic ballot getting tighter and Republican candidates increasingly pulling ahead in some races, the liberal media’s prediction (really more of a promise) of a “blue wave” seemed to be in jeopardy. But during Sunday’s Meet the Press on NBC, moderator Chuck Todd was holding out hope for the wave as he kicked off the panel discussion with reams of favorable numbers from the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll recently released.
The problem with that number? The margin of error. According to the on-screen graphic, the margin of error for that poll was a massive 9.5 percent. For comparison, pollsters were usually fine with an MOE between two and three points (of course, the lower the better). Anything above that is taken with a grain of salt up to about five. 9.5 doesn’t just mean the number is somewhere in there, it’s indicative of a huge problem with the sample. Typically it means a low amount of responses.
In a shocking turn, NBC journalist and anchor Katy Tur threw water on the hopes of a blue wave. “I do think there is an argument to be made for people telling pollsters one thing but believing another thing,” Tur explained.
“And I hate to be Debbie downer for Democrats”, she said before catching her blunder. “Or for Republican or for anyone or for the standard messaging, I should say.” According to Tur, Democrats should worry because “this feels a lot like 2016.” She warned that all of their confident talk could be overstated and there could be a groundswell for Trump and Republicans.

Katy Tur is a liberal...but she predicted Trump would win in 2016...lets hope she is right again..
The media is trying to motivate the Dem base to vote. Of course they are going to say the GOP is within striking range.
A Vote for Democrats is a Vote to turn America into Venezuela.
Gotta feel bad for Katy Tur..grew up in a household where her daddy wanted a vagina..imagine growing up in a house like that
Blue States will get bluer, but the rest of the nation will get Redder.
“A Vote for Democrats is a Vote to turn America into Venezuela.”
I’m a firm believer in tit for tat. I’d love to see the GOP run an ad making that very assertion.
Dem heads would be exploding everywhere!

LOL..... Katie has a hate crush on Trump.
Bless his heart.
When you see socialist reporters giving Republicans a chance, it is because a red wave is coming and those reporters are looking to salvage some credibility for their future.
Her surname alone is quite unfortunate. Bless her heart.
Why do you hate to do that?
Another "objective journalist" heard from.
Yep..Tur..add a D and you have TURD
Is he reusing old Baghdad Bob scripts?
Blue flush.
Looks to me like the Democrats are bracing themselves for a sizable defeat next month.
Good!
MAGA!!!
Hope in one hand...
You have to wonder how many of those men are from Syria, Iraq, or etc?
