like so:

"So, you're telling me that in the eyes of the all-powerful, data-driven 538 "probabilistic forecast", the outlook for the Senate shifted from a 55% chance Democrats hold the Senate to 55% chance GOP wins the Senate in eight days?"

We have all seen the failure of the public polls. Most likely many people are hesitant to respond, screen their calls, or lie to the pollsters for fun or because they don't want to admit to being ultra liberal or conservative even to a stranger. Remember that they had Hillary winning in 2016. If you go by what I hear on the street and social media, a lot of democrats are fed up with the inflation and crime and are voting republican. I guess we'll know in a week.

White women have no choice but to flip, they cannot deny what's happening to their kids in government schools, it's impossible to ignore
Well, talking ABOUT Black people rather than trying to give Black people a reason to vote Republican isn't working. When given a choice between sympathy vs indfference/covert racial resentment, what are you going to pick?

And no, I don't view all Republicans that way. I'm just explaining what really goes on. Most Black people aren't expecting much from Democrats, but do not see the GOP as being any better.

It's like all these University grads were given the bat signal that it's "go time" to transition from the theoretical to the material and start their wannabe marxist/communist revolution. They had such lack of awareness that they doubled down on destabilizing and grooming little kids and thought nobody would say anything.

The #1 news channel in terms of number of Democrat viewers is Fox. Literally the only place on TV they can break through the cult media narrative

This is just the beginning, wait until they lose all Asians.

The chicken is coming home to roost. The Dems went too far in attacking their own demographics for being "too successful."

And when blacks find out Dems hate Christianity, they'll lose the black vote overnight.

I think the suburban woman are concerned with the abortion issue, but far more concerned with WOKE-ism being forced onto THEIR kids is school. Seriously, I do not know of any mother that would be comfortable with books describing/normalizing homosexual sex between children and adults.

Throw in unchecked and unpunished crimes that has exploded across the country, inflation that is constantly increasing each quarter and the current fuel crisis. Also, no border enforcement while tons of drugs are flowing across it daily, which is killing kids and young and very stupid adults.

So, with all the above, and no real solutions to the self inflected injuries the democrats have cause ARE THE REAL KITCHEN TABLE DISCUSSIONS that are happening each and every night. It not hard to talk about how much more that pork chop cost today, than two years ago and that planned vacation will have to be a “stay-cation” and those funds shifted into their fuel and food budgets. This is something the democrats, especially the talking heads on the View, the media or even Biden himself refuse to address with anything near the truth.

Plus, Biden needs to quit lying and telling everybody that he has lowered the cost on everything and that the economy is booming on his watch. Biden has a serious credibility issue since nothing he has said was 100% truthful… Heck, not even 75% truthful and this is why the American people are now having “buyer’s remorse” since nobody believes anything he says.

Honestly, Biden lies are getting worse by the week!! Now, he said his other son, apparently the only good Biden, was killed in Iraq, when he sadly died of cancer in the States.

Also, the democrats now know their abortion campaign was a complete flop are now trying to scare people by saying if you don’t vote for the democrat ticket, democracy in America will be destroyed forever…. One talking head on MSNBC even said that the republicans will kill your kids… Seriously, how stupid and how desperate does that sound?! Again, the democrats need to stop lying and just be truthful with the American people.

well next Tuesday is four days away, so I expect the democrats to come out with some more scare tactics like they “discovered” a secret Republican plan to enslave all Black people and deport all Latinos, while keeping women barefoot, pregnant and locked in the kitchen.

Maybe if the democrats were honest and leveled with the American people they might have a chance, but by constantly lying, they destroyed their own changes since they truly believe we are stupid and gullible. Plus, their “basement”strategy was a complete failure too. That was a One Shot Deal that got Biden into the Whitehouse AND how well that worked!!

The highest percentage of working people under President Trump in forty years and that included minorities wasn't a reason for blacks to vote Republican?

President Trump had some kind of black conference in DC, I don't remember the details, but I read a black rep in attendance said it was wonderful, but of course it wasn't publicized with the media bias against Trump.
It's so obvious the Democrats want a divisive America and not a country where everyone gets along.

The blacks can't expect anything from Democrats? How about more crime in their neighborhoods, they can definitely expect that. The NYC news report is always showing blacks on tv screaming into the camera that crime in their neighborhood has to stop. They can thank the Democrats for releasing criminals with no bail required.

White suburban women are like everyone else, they hate how the Lib agenda fails miserably in the areas of; education, crime, and the economy.

Its that simple.
