A political analyst updated his outlook for the House just days before midterm elections, giving the Democrats an even greater edge over Republicans hoping to maintain power.

Dave Wasserman, who is House editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, tweeted Wednesday that their forecast was being updated, predicting that Democrats gain 30-40 seats, up from 25-35 seats.

With voter fraud in full swing throughout, young people turning out in big numbers like never before, to support Dems, I guess this isn't surprising.

Dave Wasserman, who is House editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report

...is possibly related to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz?

Where did you hear that from?

[fortheDeclaration]

Yea, and the GOP is still outvoting them. Take your defeatism somewhere else. The Democrats aren’t going to win 20 seats, no less 30-40!

[Bulwinkle]

And in 2016 Cook said the Dems would take the Senate and Hilary had a lock on the electoral college.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

And Hillary has a 98% chance of being President.

Cook Political Report Scorecard 2016

ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES

Same guy that said Hillary was a lock, with 300+ electoral votes, 278 of those not even competitive?

“Matthew Dowd: Clinton Has 95% Chance To Win, Will Win By 5 Million Votes”

“Mark Cuban: Hillary will win the election”

Frank Luntz on Twitter, November 8, 2016: “Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the United States.”

And in 2016:

Overall, according to the Cook Political Report, Democrats would pick up five to seven Senate seats, and Clinton would likely turn at least a couple of red states blue in the presidential race. At one point this summer, there was even speculation that states as deep red as Texas and Arizona could go blue.

For these reasons, not even a microscopic fraction of a shit is given for the opinion of the Cook Political Report.

How did the Cook Report do in 2016?

See my post #7

A result like this will result in unending conflict, subpoenas, Mad Maxine type hearings, and impeachment. There will be chaos so the Lefties who vote for this had better be prepared to see the fabric of society torn even further apart.

Yup,I should have known that I wouldn’t be the first one to ask that.

There was an article posted here the other day about a local poll based on 500+ respondents. What really caught my eye was the pollster's admission that they had to make more than 27,000 phone calls to get those 500+ responses. That alone should convince anyone that polls are totally worthless these days.

I’m guessing it’s particularly odd for people to habitually post leftist propaganda on conservative site. This after everyone is inundated with leftist media propaganda around the clock 24/7.

Maybe you thought we haven’t had a belly full of it yet and felt we needed to see more.

BS.....................

It happens way too much.

I went to high school with a Dave Wasserman but this isn’t him.

[backwoods-engineer]

Bullcrap. And if they do, the hot civil war will come sooner than later.

[Nifster]

Cook is useless

The actual data do not show young people turning out

Do not be discouraged. Get out the vote. Take a neighbor
