Early voting is rarely covered because they want the eyeballs election night, and early vote totals are generally a huge tell.

Just like it was obvious in 16 if you looked at early voting by party you knew days before the election that the only “swing state” remotely in play for Hilary was Fl and odds were she would lose it.

They rarely report much on early voting, ever.

I wonder how many Freepers have been conservative Republicans since their teens; in other words, always. I have.

Is there anything better than watch a rat in pain?

Because the data is still pointing to a blue win.

But the data is also showing the margin is shrinking. I predict little change

Hope it is more red, but fear it will be more blue.

Fox won't report because the pearl-clutchers and the hand-wringers there -- while not as bad as our own -- surmise it's better to keep this info from rank-and-file GOP 'in order to keep their interest levels up' -- which is bs. Total, unadulterated bs.

The real reason is the media-consultancy complex, which makes their meager coin for about three months every other year.

Consultants are scum, they are worse than cable news segment producers (and some are interchangable).

If Trump ever warms up to the idea of exile (stripping US citizenship from our perpetual 'troublemakers'), consultants are at the top of the list.

"Local dems look tired and not very inspired."

Actually you're on to something here. Been analyzing 2016 African-American voting and how Trump wildly overperformed at 8%.

I realize it's as simple as what you've just said, what do door-to-door Dems look like?

And the answer is, in the past decade, not just tired and uninspired, but Rachel Madcow types with their tranny husband in tow.

It's always women, and it's almost always LBLTLMNOP (at least one will be grossly overweight), and there's infrequently some type of beta male skulking along.

Who gets completely, irreversibly turned off by that? African-American males.

This guy can remember when the Democrats that came by the door were black! And before that, it was the white guy from the church across the street from his church, who he once helped change a flat in the church parking lot and found out they both served as their respective church treasurers, and both had the same idea for a block party-as-joint church fundraiser.

But when the Demcrats bring their new Lezbo shitshow to a late-middle-aged African-American male, a man who is rightfully proud of his house, his car, his yard trimmed to perfection, he is going to remember how that Democrat cadre ruined his Saturday, how they wouldn't leave, how they insulted him with the standard Democrat plantation racism suggesting blacks should always vote Democrat, and he will remember all of that on Election Day.

Not to mention, many of those Dems are voting R because Trump has shown them that America is great.

A GOP lead would contradict the narrative of a insurmountable huge Blue Wave.

“I don’t want them to give this away. I want them even more shocked then 2016.”

agreed. though of course the media will only pretend to be shocked since they actually know the truth, whereas the rank and file Dem rubes will be truly shocked because they believe every lie from the damnable Lying Leftist Fake Stream Enemedia™ ... not to mention, it’s probably best to give the impression the Dems are ahead to give excuses to lazy Dems that their vote isn’t really needed ...

I couldn’t believe my ears listening to Matt Walsh - a talk radio show I do not normally listen to but was out driving around late - saying all of the data shows the Democrats are voting more and have voted more in EVERY primary since Trump was elected.

The RATs turned max numbers in the primary’s, but have no more room to grow in the general - we’ve been holding back. Now the ‘gaint’ Is awoken.

my guess is that that is why Trump is dangling but not explaining the tax cut. he will announce it next Friday night after the Mueller leak drop

Mueller knows if the republicans hold the house and increase the senate, Trump is free to fire Sessions after the mid-terms and install someone willing to take on the Deep State, including Mueller, if there is an unfair October surprise. Mueller has to wait until after the mid-terms to do anything, or he would be risking the wrath of Trump after receiving post-election affirmation of the Trump agenda and supporters.

Because a certain % of swing voters always vote for the candidate they perceive as most likely to win. So the media downplays any news that would help pubs with this scenario and hypes any news that would help dems.

NEVER IN MY LIFE (nearly 76 years) have I voted for a DemonShit. By now I’m convinced my right arm wold turn to stone if I did.

I have never voted for a Demonrat; however. I did make the mistake of voting for Ross Perot, thus helping Bubba win.

Check this morning. GOP had an impressive day in NC and you can see trendlines merging into 14/16.
