BLUE WAVE 2018

Someone explain to me how this "Blue Wave" the leftists are touting would actually be possible. Is it in the realm of possibility? Or are these people suffering from so much delusion due to their realities being shattered that they've created this fictitious future that they will NEVER achieve?

They've been screaming Trump is getting impeached "any day now" for a year. Do you honestly believe a single thing they claim has legitimacy anymore?

Alabama was an example

They'll make ground alright

It won't be as overwhelming as they think it will

I think it's a lot of wishful thinking. They literally hate Trump and everything he does so they assume everyone else feels the same way, so OBVIOUSLY they're going to take back Congress. Unfortunately for them a lot of people are very content with Trump/R's thus far.

In reality it's a very complicated process. I wouldn't be surprised if the Democrats evened things up in the House because that's how recent election history has trended But I also wouldn't be surprised if this "blue wave" didn't really happen at all. A lot of it will depend on the economy, as well as individual senatorial candidate personal matters.

The big thing is that the people meming the "blue wave" are pushing their inner hatred onto the rest of the country - it is not at all with the broader national sentiment of "more the same".

Also people who say shit like "B-b-but a democrat won fucking ALABAMA!" seem to forget that their opponent was a weak candidate with multiple hebephilia allegations against him. It was moreso issues with the individual candidate than a sign of some broader national mood.

Reminder that 70 (seventy) percent of seats up for election are in democrat held positions already

They better fucking HOPE they win a majority of them.
Because even if we win 1/3, we gain seats.

The cringey blue wave shit is referring to how voters will supposedly help democraps sweep the 2018 election to """""""""""""""""""reject""""""""""""""""""" the president.

They seem to keep moving the "starting" point though. First it was supposed to be VA, then apparently AL was the true start of it.

This, except Alabama was an outlier, not an example. They are banking on the usual midterm gains plus a misreading of a temporary abnormal political situation that should normalize by next year.

House is safe. 2018 - 2020 senate races Trump will likely gain a few. I see 56 republican senators.

Nice image dimensions.

>NM and NV are red
>But not PA

The former are spic heavy, btw. I know they're not there in Canada, but spics are a huge problem in those states.

Also, I fear for FL because of those faggot Shitter Ricans who have "fled" to the island.

*state

Trump lost the popular vote then he lost a senator from fucking Alabama one year into his presidency. This is not sustainable and anyone with more charisma than Clinton would win by a landslide.
He lost the popular vote
To fucking Clinton
One of the most corrupt and detestable politicians in the US.

He should of been impeached over having two scoops

Is there new elections in Alabama next year?

>Alabama
They are also investigating voter fraud

>Blue Wave my blue balls

It's not possible. To win elections you need a policy platform. The dems didn't have one during the 2016 campaign and don't have one now except putting spics, mussies and chicks with dicks before american citizens

inb4 muh Roy Moore - the guy was a peanut

>from fucking Alabama

OH GEE I WONDER WHY THE GUY WITH SEVEN HEBEPHILIA ACCUSATIONS AGAINST HIM LOST

they can talk all they want. the house is in the realm of possibility. the senate...well the Dems are at an unbelievable disadvantage when it comes to which senators are up for re election

To be fair when are they not investigating voter fraud

na. Alabama senate race is in 2020. Jones shouldn't get too cozy.

This is what I'm curious about. How many of these Democratic places have an actual chance of swinging red?

If they're really planning on trotting out sex crime accusations for every republican running for reelection in 2018 then won't people start to get suspicious? Sure a few here and there they can get away with, but I don't think it can really get them major gains.

This. I don't know why anyone thinks this is any different from Scott Brown.

A fuck leaf

They'll probably gain seats but it will be a close race. Their voters are mobilized due to the endless "DEATH TO BLUMPF" propaganda.

>He lost the popular vote
And he still won. California, New York, and Illinois hold a lot of people, add in votes from states she barely won or lost and it's not shocking.
There's also of course the illegal problem and voter fraud problem.
They will rig harder next time guaranteed though

Flip it back on them, or prop up independents who harbor views from both parties.

That's being addressed. With all the deportations, self deportations and all those turning back from the border well that's going to be less illegals voting.

This is it for the American people. They know they'll never have someone like Trump again. next Dem president will be a rabid socialist and the Repub president will be another war mongering Neo-Con.

If Trump sees a drastic drop in crowds and can't fill a stadium like Clinton couldn't then we'll know it's over for him. The good thing is he hasn't stopped campaigning. He's still doing rallies and it's a smart move. Dems haven't even begun to campaign just crying tantrum fits.

The only reason a Jones won in Alabama was because of the sexual assault allegations against Moore. Doug Jones won by half a point and the turnout for Moore was below average while Jones was average.

Yeah, still, I wish it had been Strange.

IDK, like votes even matter, it's all a world wide rigged shitshow
The globalists won a long time ago ,the political drama and votes makes it seem more realistic to the regular people

LOL.

the only colour revolution they could do is red. and I don't think that'd work. People are too aware.

Unless Islam magically becomes a religion of peace LOL.... but seriously, whites hate even Hindus. they will hate arabs much worse

Alabama was on the far end of the average swing in off-cycle elections this year, but it still fit within the trend.

In all the major special elections this year, Democrats have enjoyed a statistically significant swing towards them due to their base presently having higher energy levels, leading to improved turnout.

Anyway, Alabama points to an issue which could result in Republicans losing otherwise-winnable races: the Republican base nominating the least broadly-popular person in the primaries, the Democrats nominating a much more palatable nominee in their own primaries, and the Democrats being able to capitalise on anti-Republican energy and centrists' fears of Republican "extremism" in the general election.

It screwed the Republicans up in the Senate in 2010 (remember "legitimate rape"?). It could screw them again in 2018.

So does Trump.

Jones's turnout was slightly below the benchmark of a presidential election, which for a special election in December is actually pretty amazing.

Alot of the seats are in flyovers like Montana, Ohio, etc.

The Democrats will make gains. Right this very moment the political situation is abnormal, in that a president with a good economy and no wars is polling well below where he should. There are a bunch of uncertainties that are contributing to that, mainly: Mueller, North Korea, the media frenzy ignoring the economy and the improved situation in Iraq and Syria, and Trump trolling the shit out of everyone. The economy is going to get a boost with the tax bill which will also help the Republicans in the suburban districts where they are most vulnerable (VA showed a huge split between suburban and rural districts, and the former are all the ones that flipped), and the economic numbers are not going to be able to be ignored much longer. Likewise, Mueller is running out of steam as his shit indictments showed and that cannot go on for another year. North Korea will settle down eventually and the setbacks for ISIS will eventually permeate into the public consciousness. Trump will continue being Trump, but with everything else more or less working people will be more forgiving of it.

The Democrats also have a few brewing scandals which will hurt them.

All of this means a reversion to the political fundamentals, which will mean Trump's approval will climb over the next year and the Republicans will benefit from that in 2018. A reversion to where things should be will mean a good chance of retaining control of the House. The Senate map is an uphill climb for the Democrats even now.

Theyre trying to generate false social proof to get all of the sheep out and voting

>I think it's a lot of wishful thinking.
More than that, it's the horribly misguided expectation of continual "progress". Lefties and kikes thought they owned the future when they got 2 terms of the Magic Negro.

The temper tantrum of the past 13 months is just them expressing their disbelief that anyone without a vagina or bootlips could possibly have been elected in The Current Year™.

They got too excited too quick and blew their load between 2008 and 2016.
And their entire response so far has been to double down on the most outlandish perversions of the fringe members of their base.

IMHO, Americans were sick of the idea of presidential dynasties after King Bush II, and voted accordingly (It didn't help that McCain came out as completely batshit insane around 2006). And then the best the RINOs could do was fucking Romney in 2012?

America had been begging for someone like Trump since 1999.

Simple fact is, in order to keep the ball rolling in a better direction, all support and memes need to go toward the most outlandish leftie candidates, like Maxine Waters (BLACK, and a woman) for President 2020!

This isn't a rational game, so stop thinking rationally.

They actually think camping out in parks in DC is making a difference and protests with guitars are how one win elections....especially since almost none of them vote

I still expect the Republican base to insist on nominating the dumbest possible contenders for various races and screw everything for the GOP in the process in 2018, though perhaps I'm just being pessimistic. I have a bad feeling about the actual effects of the tax bill, and I'm pretty sure the media is going to push any stories they can find of middle-class folk being worse off as a result of it (even if large numbers of economically-similar individuals are better off). I'm also half-expecting a recession this year; it'd fit in with the usual 10-year economic pattern of them.

LUBE WAVE 2018!!!

PREPARE TO RIDE ALL OF THE DICKS!!!

Fair concern. The Republicans have the proven ability to fuck up a wet dream. I wouldn't worry about the economy tanking in the next year. It's so distorted from the past ten years of ridiculous policy like QE that we aren't in a normal cycle and the stimulus provided by the tax bill will keep things chugging along for at least another year.

And with cutting of regulations Trump is saving hundreds of billions of dollars. I think his next focus is bring down debt interest payments. He's going to tackle the debt in the next phase I think. Reagan had blown that part of the 80's tax cut.

On the current trajectory, the Democrats have a pretty good chance of picking up the 24 or 25 seats or whatever it is they need to take the House. We've seen this trend in the special elections, with the Republicans doing their best earlier in the year, when Trump was still more popular and before he stopped pushing populist measures like tariffs, border security, and infrastructure.

Trump won in the first place because of populism, which set him apart from the other GOP candidates. But his agenda so far has been much more determined by the Paul Ryan/Mitch McConnell part of the GOP, which is much less popular. The problem with trying to appeal to "the economy" is that the labor force participation rate is NOT rising:

data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11300000

In fact, it's slightly lower than when he took office. People who own equities are doing well economically, but that's actually less than half of the adult population. The danger for the GOP is that discouraged voters who would otherwise vote for them will simply not vote, thus ceding the field to the motivated Democrat voters.

If this were a GOP wave year, the Democrats would be facing a complete wipeout in the Senate, losing up to 9 seats. As it stands now, they actually have a reasonable chance of holding all but 1 or 2 of those, and even offsetting the loss with a pickup from the GOP.

That's how things look at the moment. Trump needs to go back to populism if he wants the GOP to avoid a wipeout. What the fuck happened to stuff like "Kate's Law," or the RAISE Act, or reducing the trade deficit? He needs to get back to THAT stuff, and drop the unpopular Jeb Bush-style GOP bullshit.

>HURRR MUH POLLS
HEY KEK I GUESS YOU BELIEVED NATE SILVER AND OALL THOSE OTHER FAKE NEWS LIBERALMEDIA LIARS WHEN THEY SAID HILLARIOUS WOUDL 1000% WIN HUH?

>Implying Trump will even allow elections.

Congressional elections are 500+ individual contests; broad trends in the president's popularity matter a lot, in the aggregate, across those 530 or so elections.

460, I mean (all the House minus a few special elections and 1/3rd of the Senate are up for election in November 2018).

And he will do exactly that now. He's got his first big legislative victory with the tax bill and the repeal of the Obamacare mandate (really a twofer). Congress isn't going to do shit in an election year like usual so that was likely the only one he will get for now. Now he can pivot to RAISE, CCW reciprocity, NAFTA renegotiation, the wall, and Congress will bicker and hold a bunch of symbolic votes that will stir up the base but won't get anything passed. They will then beat the "we need a bigger senate majority" drum and hope that and the improving economy (and it will improve) plus a few other factors drive up Republican turnout next year and swing independents more towards them.

Labor force participation and wage increases are the last parts of the unemployment statistics to improve. UE is a lagging indicator on its own, but those are even laggier parts of it. Basically, all of the slack in the labor market has to be first be taken up and then you'll see participation and wages rise as the demand for labor causes incentives for workers to improve. Everything else is moving in the right direction and you'll see those both improve over the next year. Don't sweat that part.

You were doing so well, why don't you go take a break?

blue wave is inevitable.
Demography is destiny.
Trump was just a temporary reprieve before permanent Democrat power.
Then the anti white pogroms and gulags and prisons will be set up to eradicate whiteness from the US forever.

The "blue wave" they're talking about is actually that blue shit you put in your toilet bowl water. And it's flushing the democrats right down the drain because they have no future in America.

The tsunami is coming but not in the way they think

2018 is going to be glorious

The Republicans deserve to lose because as we've seen in Alabama they will sabotage anyone that isn't a milquetoast richfag who wants to blockade Trump at every turn and play willing Patsy for the Dems.

>why don't you go take a break?
I'm sleepy. Aren't you sleepy, user?
