Is A Big, Blue Wave Forming Off The Political Coast?

[Dulcinea]

Democrats' success in this month's elections was bigger than expected, and was fueled in part by strong opposition to President Trump. In the last few weeks, there's been a lot of chatter about whether that means a big, blue wave is forming off the political coast that could potentially crash into the 2018 midterm elections.

We asked Republicans and Democrats what the off-year elections could mean for their parties next year. Here are five takeaways.

4. The grass roots efforts are taking the plays from the

Tea Party Handbook on how to take Dems to the top from the bottom. It worked for them and so far is working for us to if you look at the recent election winners. Indivisible and other Dem groups are dedicating a lot of their time, energy and own money to create Dem nominees in all parts of the country. The are smart, focused and strategic as well as well paced, thoughtful and determined. I have hope when I see and talk with them...I am VERY impressed!

7. the grassroots HAVE to do it, because the corporate wing is incompetent

the Republican Party has been the Walking Dead since arguably 1992.

Instead of putting a stake in the vampire, the Democrats keep dragging their rotting corpse back into the shade and opening a vein to feed their lethal policies.

5. Absolutely

If the Republicans think that big smelly pile of shit they're pushing is tax reform they're in for the biggest mistake of their pathetic lives.

6. It's going to pass

And it will be up to the Dems to clean it up again. Rinse and repeat.
