BS. You are a dem and the line has been drawn. All in for open borders, socialism and an elite wealthy ruling class. With whites marginalized to second class citizenship and eventually stamped out.

The democrats taking the House by a small number of seats is not "wave." The most likely scenario is the Dems take over the House and republicans gain in the Senate.

Democrats would have to flip 63+ seats in the house to have a blue wave

Why more than 63? Because that is how many house seats Obama lost in 2010

That was a red wave.

That was absolutely seen as a red wave.

the movement that basically split the GOP into 2 was a "red wave"?

It depends on the magnitude of the change.

If it is merely a historical shift of 20+ votes, that is not a wave - that is just the normal way things work. People don't celebrate high tide every day.

IF the DEMs gain 60+ seats - then that is a wave comparable to 2010

IF the DEM gain is less than 20, it is a huge defeat for the DEM expectations.

You know why it's a blue wave if they flip it, regardless of the number of seats? Because, Speaker Pelosi, Low IQ Maxine chairman finance committee, impeachment proceedings, etc.

That's a win for them.

You're referring to continued use of the term "Blue Wave" by lefties?

There’s is no definition of a wave election so it’s all semantics so who cares?

I vote to say it’s no wave unless you overperform the historical averages. I don’t think you need to take both chambers however.

The Republicans gained 6 Senate seats in 2010. The Dems will net 0 or less in 2018.

Of course there is. It is an election in which a single parties gains significantly exceed norms.

In the last 21 midterm elections only twice has the party that controlled the White House held the House during Midterms.
The average number of seats lost to the Presidents party is 30.

The Democrats may indeed win the House but it will be by at most 10 seats.

There is no Blue Wave.

Of course if democrats actually win the house by even 1 seat they will consider it a MANDATE!!! and a complete and utter repudiation of Trump and his policies.

They will ignore the shellacking their savior Obama took in 2010 when their party lost a historic 63 seats.

I don’t see how taking over the house means there is a blue wave when Republicans still have the senate the White House . It sounds like your already downto hoping to be able to win the house .

Incorrect. A lot of very traditional Republican areas this year. 2020 is going to be an absolute Slaughter.

Thats a cringe worthy sentence, bud.
