Matt doesn’t want to end up with egg on his face like everybody did in ‘18.

With those numbers I can’t see how the Demons have a chance.
That is the only way they make a lick of sense.

This is just Psy-ops folks. They just want to make sure their base is reved up and ready to vote.

Don’t get all pollyanna’ish here at FR.

Professional pundits trade their reputation and they must protect their credibility. Everything that they have done to date is just the pre season, their record doesn’t count. But on Tuesday they are firing for record and their comments will read into the record as well. All of them got caught with their pants down around their ankles in 2016 for the Presidential contest and they can’t afford another debacle.

In 2016, most of them did pretty well on the House contests, remember the Democrats gained six seats in the House. If they were to screw up the House races this year, it would hurt them in their pocketbooks through their speaking fees. No one wants to pay a fat check to a guest speaker who can’t get it right on the day of the big game.

I see backpedaling everywhere I look. RCP is capturing the waffling and now the stories all have two endings. One is the conventional wisdom narrative of the Blue Wave, and a new ending with the Republicans by with some magical bean or nefarious sleight of hand, they manage to win across the board.

Those with the real numbers, probably those with access to the closely held private polls and other metrics, are indicating good news for the Republicans. Friends don’t let friends make fools of themselves, so the word is getting passed around. We probably won’t know about the details, but remember in 2016, they were all confident that Hillary would prevail. No such talk going on right now, especially with respect to the House races.

The internal dem polling must be scaring the crap out of them..

Otherwise, we would hear endless stories of the wonderful initiatives the dems are going to force down our throats when they win the house...

And the Florida Ag Commission quipped “This race is cotton pickin’ important”

I’m predicting overwhelming malaise and ennui for Dems come Wednesday, November 7th, 2018.

They just need to put on a sweater and turn down the thermostat! *SMIRK*

This mid-term election is going to be so delicious. So, very, VERY delicious! :)

Momentum and inertia are terrible forces to overcome on very short notice. They have only until about 10 PM, November 6, 2018, to recant from their rigid and narrowly focused predictions on the outcome. Then, they pray for rain (or something).

They don’t want to look as stupid as they did in 2016.

They look exactly as stupid.

I'll never forget election night 2016. I wasn't watching returns till my daughter called about 8 p.m. Pacific time laughing like crazy. "Turn on the election returns, mom. So I did. Every newsroom was filled with idiots looking bewildered, devastated, crestfallen, suicidal. Funniest election night ever.

Hopefully this one will be just as laughable.

My guess is that the next time Nancy and the Democrats try to walk through a crowd of tea partiers, they'll get the crap beaten out of them.

You don't rev voters up by painting rosy forecasts for them, which is what the Ministry of Truth is doing to Democrats.

They really do suck at psyops.

Surprised they would say this. If it were really true, why not just lie through your teeth to keep the DEMs pumped up and try to suppress potential GOP voters?
