Throwing a theory out there. One of Q’s recent posts referenced The Hunt for Red October and double meanings. That movie is about a Soviet Naval Captain who wants to defect.
What if the double meaning is that one or more Democrats are considering “defecting” or switching parties?
Might explain the 53-47 number.
Joe Manchin is a prime candidate, who else?

“West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice claims he’s talked to Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin about him switching parties. President Donald Trump needs Manchin’s vote in the Senate, Justice said Thursday on “Fox & Friends.”
“Joe and I had discussions along those lines,” Justice, a Republican, said.”
