There isn't going to be a "Blue Wave"

[SHRED]

That's the mindset we need to take.
We can't rest.

VOTE as if our lives depend on it...because they do.

1. I'm doing what I can by canvassing for Joe Donnelly three times a week.

I go Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't getting nervous though. The Dems lead in the generic ballot has dropped to 6.6, and most experts say the number they need to hit to swing the House is 6-6.5. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/2018_generic_congressional_vote-6185.html

Meanwhile, Trump's approval rating is skyrocketing. I'm sure the two are connected.

5. Forget the generic poll

We aren't running generic candidates we running great candidates.

I am canvassing in a red district in VA red state and no one, including me can even remember the name of the Republican candidate.

In this Republican state (AZ) the Republicans have to have rallies in undisclosed locations because more protesters will show up than rally members.

Yesterday I changed my canvassing group and went with the several hundred at the AFL CIO group. I could have gone with the 50 at the Move On or the 40 at the DSCC.

Perez has been brilliant in flooding key areas with paid operators, they have 50 or so in AZ alone. Why Az? Because it's a twofer; they are working in districts that are good targets for flipping both the House seat and Flake's.

7. Precisely, SHRED. A Blue Wave won't just occur on its own.

It takes energy and a tidal effort and gravity to make a wave, all of which means getting out the vote, AND working on getting others out to vote.

Republicans have tasted blood and they want more. Our task is to drive a stake through their collective cold heart.

LET’S DO THIS!

8. The mindset needs to be MAKE THE BLUE WAVE HAPPEN. Your phrasing is defeatist.
