“A blue flood, more than just a wave”: 8 experts on midterm elections after the Ohio special election

By Li Zhou

https://www.vox.com/2018/8/10/17670562/ohio-special-election-blue-wave

Travis Ridout, public policy professor, Washington State University
The closeness of the special election in Ohio — in a historically Republican district — suggests that Democratic voters are motivated to a much greater extent than Republican voters this year. Even millions in spending on political ads may not be enough to enthuse GOP voters this fall.

If a “blue wave” means greater-than-average Democratic participation in the midterm elections, then the chances of that happening are very high. But how many more congressional seats that nets for Democrats is still a big question. On the low end, it could be as few as a dozen. On the high end, it could be 40 seats.

Margie Omero, Democratic pollster, GBA Strategies
The results so far in OH-12 — remember thousands of ballots are still being counted — should give Republicans everywhere yet another sign of the momentum on the left. There was higher turnout than usual in suburban Franklin County. Republican groups spent millions more than did Democrats. Republicans couldn’t find something that really stuck, and so they used scattered messaging and frequent traffic changes. And, perhaps most importantly, there are 79 districts where Trump performed worse.


Democrats have had the advantage in the generic all cycle. Republicans are showing no signs of changing their fortunes. The question isn’t whether there is a wave but just how high. Will it be high enough to take back the House? The Senate? State legislative chambers around the country? In past waves, things started to break late. We’ll probably see that this year, too.

He should build that darn wall using HIS own money.....if he wants it that badly. He is so childish.

He can then post his photo on both sides of the stupid thing. His supporters can pay homage at the trump wall.;-)

Well he could take some of that money and maybe make sure Russia doesn't meddle in us elections. And the most common type of person to overstay their visa when in the usa is a Canadian.

That's it. The GOP is scared of the corruption label in the midterms:

Chris Collins suspends re-election campaign amid insider trading allegations

The Republican congressman at first said he'd fight the charges, but now says he's abandoning his bid for the good of the party.

Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) is abandoning his 2018 re-election campaign, amid insider trading allegations and a federal indictment earlier this week.

Collins is said to have passed nonpublic information he received regarding a failed drug trial by Australian biotech company Innate Immunotherapeutics to his son last year, before Innate announced the news publicly.

Collins’ son, Cameron, subsequently dumped all of his shares of the company. One day later, the company announced the results of that failed trial, prompting its stock price to drop 90 percent, to 4 cents per share.

Cameron Collins, as well as several others, were able to “[avoid] a total of approximately $768,000 in losses” as a result of that insider information, according to federal prosecutors.

They are also crying in fear in Markham with signs all made in the same place with the same pink font because the newer Canadians of Chinese descent were microtargetted for anxiety about the refugees being placed in their city. I'm thinking of sending every single cultural group, be it a center or a church, bubble wrap so when conservatives microtarget them with fears of the other they have some release.

Not that those fears didn't exist for them before the whites you Hate so much, and all the other legal immigrants, and governments, who made the laws here, came along, and let them move in.

You should move to Israel where apartheid is state policy - there you might be happy...
;)
Unless you are a black Ethiopian Jew, or are any other non jewish person, a CHRISTIAN, or otherwise owned land there before WW2.
