Halloween SHOCK! NO “Blue Wave” in Florida!

Florida early voting almost identical to 2016 with two exceptions: Democrats running behind their 2016 numbers while Republicans are ahead of their 2016 high watermark.

What happened to all the tomfoolery about Democrat enthusiasm riding a “blue wave” to victory?

Answer: Fake News — or perhaps political propaganda would be more appropriate?

Hard data from across the country suggests Democrats are less enthused than Republicans and turning out far less.

The astute chart Michael E. Newton’s provided me illustrate the dire straights Dems face in key races.

It simply appears Democrats are not turning out their base or put more succinctly: they’re losing.

The question is are Republicans cannibalizing their Election Day Vote?

I heard this same explanation in October 2016 when the GOP was leading in the Early Florida Vote. Of course, this was not the case and Trump carried the state bigly.

Moreover, one can make the opposite argument: are Democrats ceding their Early Vote for an Election Day push? I hope not for their sake. Both parties push early voting and it would be political suicide for one party not “get the vote out early”.

No, what is happening is Dems are not as engaged as Republicans and the GOP has FINALLY come to parity with the much-heralded Democrat GOTV system.

Keep in mind: Democrats (traditionally) ALWAYS win the Early Vote.

But, I’ve been saying this in all year: there’ll be no “Blue Wave” in November.

Bet on it.

“But, but, but…what about the polls?” (sarcasm)
