Thoughts on voting and the red wave.
Point #1. When one party assumes their candidate is going to get trounced, they tend to vote in smaller numbers…and conversely, when the other party assumes their candidate will win, they vote at or above historic numbers, and even more so if their candidate is portrayed as a "historic candidate" so they can be "part of history".
Point #2: In the 2016 election, the vast majority of Americans assumed Trump would lose, and HRC would be POTUS.
Point #3: Trump won in 2016 despite points 1 & 2 above, thus there was a Red Wave developed even in the face of suppression.
Point #4: Mid-terms much closer. Both parties motivated, but much greater upside for Red than Blue given the likely rebound from 2016 Red suppression.
Point #5: Countless studies have shown that voters are more motivated when they are more PRO something than when they are ANTI something. Dem value proposition this time is almost 100% anti-trump.
Point #6: Ample evidence suggesting a Republican surge in early voting while Dem EV is flat to down.
Conclusion: A RED WAVE that far surpasses even the most optimistic expectations.
