    Kavanaugh is not getting in the way of a House blue wave as a new poll commissioned by Scott Rasmussen finds a 10% lead for the Democrats:

    He also said they would vote overwhelmingly for Hillary.

    Not sure how much you want to read into that.

    Let me correct that.

    Even Rasmussen had Hillary up to win the election.

    I was attributing that to the polling site, not the individual.

    My mistake.

    You need a second correction. Rasmussen had Hillary ahead by 2% in the popular vote. His poll didn’t find that she would “win the election”.

    In polling terms that is essentially the same thing.

    Rarely does the popular vote go against the winner.

    So you are faulting Rasmussen for accurately predicting a 2% popular vote lead? Did you want him to get it wrong?

    Lol...Don't fall for the cons' fake news. They are trying to scare the rubes into voting more by telling them they are far behind.
    All decent people need to get out and vote and not get lulled.
    The cons are already doing voter suppression and gerrymandering to the hilt, trying to save their skins, so we need to get out the vote, bigly.

    After watching the violent display care of radical progressive Democrats, only Republicans who want their houses firebombed would respond favorably for Republicans in polls.

    I can't control their votes(and probably will not vote myself, because I'll only be more disgusted with the results.) The Democratic Party has failed, by any reasonable measure to show that it is capable of governance. In fact, they've already told us what they're going to do once/if they win the House: Subponeas, multiple investigations(but not the ones Republicans picked up, those will be buried.). Whether these investigations actually lead anywhere(Hint: They won't), that's not their problem.

    Today's Democratic Party is a more radical, extremist version of the traditional GOP. Party of No, obstruction and chaos.

    generic pohls for a variety of reasons are essentially meaningless, the Generic polls showed a blue wave was about to happen this same time in 2002 and the Republicans gained seats in both the house and senate.

    Generic polls don't mean much in a congressional election. They are not voting a republican or democratic government. They are voting for their representative at the local level. The polls that are meaningful are those which pit one candidate against the other. However, in those polls, it is likely that the democrats will end up with the house and the republicans with the senate.

    I couldn’t find one poll around this time of the year in 2002 with Democrats ahead by 9%.

    Sadly Democrats own:

    -- CNN
    -- ABC News
    -- MSNBC
    -- CBS
    -- NYT
    -- the vast majority of MSM

    Now they are censoring Conservatives on Social Media:

    -- Google
    -- Facebook
    -- YouTube
    -- Twitter
    -- Reddit

    Hopefully President Trump will be able to force Social Media to observe neutrality and allow Conservative voices. Otherwise, Democrats will probably win in 2020, '24, '28.

    Sadly conservative own very little. Turns out that most conservative money is old money, whereas most liberal money is newly earned. Conservatives are heavily weighed down with old people, senility seems to explain a lot, whereas younger people, don't see their future in conservative rot.

    Nonetheless, conservatives apparently get their information from an extremely limited source. It shows.

    Many young men realize that Liberals are The Enemy. Many young men join forces far more hostile to Liberals then Conservatives.

    Please check out my thread.

    Rasmussen, a conservative, regularly publishes polls leaning more to the right than other polls. Thus, if Rasussen has the Democratic Party up by 10%, the real number must be higher. But then, because of gerrymandering, the Democratic Party has to win big, to come out even.

    Did I mention that Republicsns cheat.

    I'm sure good governance includes weeding out corruption. Being as the Democratic Party has the track record of better governance, it is why the bright blue states are so much better off than red muck ones.

    tRump and company, have much to worry about. Without the interference of House Republicans, the truth is going to come out.

    And if the 'truth' is the same truth as the House Republicans uncovered, are the Democrats(and their sympathetic voters) going to apologize for the destruction done unto the US Federal Government? I highly doubt that.

    Democrats may win a short mid-term, only to be right back where they started in 2020.

    Why is it that conservative men are always defending sexual misconduct?

    I used to oppose the illegal status of my favorite herb. I spoke out often against the laws and the people who opposed the use of marihuana. I clearly support the use of marihuana.

    I see conservative men supporting sexual misconduct, with a greater veracity than I ever have supporting the use of marihuana products.

    But then, being a liberal man, women approach me willingly, and many of them have been happy to participate, getting high.
