Folks there is a reason that every midterm (aside from 9/11) has gone to the party not in power. There is a massive enthusiasm gap from those that are content compared to those that are pissed that they lost the Presidency 2 years prior.

I keep seeing that the polls are lying this time because they did in 2016 but it's different because Trump isn't on the ballot now. People aren't afraid to say they're voting for a random republican.

I hope this board doesn't have a total meltdown tomorrow and can enjoy keeping the Senate. That is a HUGE accomplishment to keep it for all 4 years of his first term.

You are totally missing the point. Trump has changed the narrative. We are awake.

The board will completely melt if it happens. A do nothing government is something I don't fear although I lean pretty far to the right

Trump doesn’t lose his veto power

That’s all that is important

They may, but if you think there is a lack of enthusiasm on the right, I have to disagree.

Turn on Trump's rally right now.

What TRUMP has done to Our Economy is on the same scale of magnitude as what 9/11 did for Bush and Republicans that year.

I just think there's a ton of hope, but I'm definitely being realistic about it. There's little chance of Reps keeping the House, but here's also little chance of a blue wave.

The difference here is that Republicans are NOT content, to use your terms.

Republicans and many independents, and even many moderate Dems, have had it with the mob mentality, the Kavanaugh-like attacks, the slippery slope towards communism, the erosion of national sovereignty, the porous borders, the lack of any modicum of civility, etc.

So your assertion would be valid IF things were honky dory and all was well. All is NOT well and even people who might not be bothered under normal circumstances are waking up and realizing that we are living under anything but normal circumstances.

I don't know how it will go tomorrow, but I believe the silent majority is stirring.

They may, but can anyone tell me why? Why vote Democrat? The economy is roaring taxes have been cut and will be cut once again and all the Dems want to do is raise taxes open the borders and act like idiots.

Dude the Democrats were sick of 8 years of George Bush and thought Obama was the next coming of Jesus and got absolutely slaughtered in the 2010 midterms by the Republicans.

Because Democrats hate America! They want everything for free, they hate white people and blame them for every failure in their lives, and they hate Trump. What more do you need?

Look at the polls!

I fear for this board tomorrow night. You guys have convinced yourselves that the Republicans's can't lose even though everything points the opposite way.
