Why the sudden stories about how the "Blue Wave" is fading?

Is the set up for for 2018 being put in place?

1. Still strong from what I've read.

[DonViejo]

2. I haven't seen one article about the alleged fading...

in weeks, have any links to those articles?

5. The latest CBS poll with a dishonest question shows us at just +4.

National Hotline/Politico...the Beltway mafia are touting this as the end of the Democrats.

They did the same thing in 2006.

6. Link?

3. I'm not too keen on the whole blue wave moniker.

It's all think tank bullshit.

4. Just another way to put out the big lie.

It's obvious they'll try anything and everything so why not just continue lying?.

If that info is coming from our side they are mistaken and need to get out of the way.

I believe, but even if I didn't think there was a blue wave coming I'd still get out and vote.

An old anology still works for me, the pukes are bringing a knife to a gun fight and they are going to lose.

7. Republican spin + extreme tone deafness from the media

They still don't understand how many women are completely ticked off. The Women's March was a major sign that they missed and it has not gone away.

They still don't understand that millennials an the current generation are ticked off. Younger voters are sick and tired of the bigotry and arcane laws.

They still don't understand that the silent majority is disgusted with this administration.

The Blue Wave seems to be catching them off guard in every election.

They still don't get it.

8. Media needs a horse race to keep viewership/readership

And Trump does do a marvelous job at energizing his base to turn out to vote exactly the way he commands them to.

11. Exactly what I believe nt

10. They are trying to disillusion us and hope we will give up hope

and not turn out at the polls. Fuck them! Full speed ahead!

[Dawson Leery]

15. That is my theory. They did the same thing in 2006 when we had a massive lead in the generic.

From the summer of 2009 onward, the same media could not shut up for a second about how unpopular Democrats were.
They had already determined the GOP the winner of 2010, even though they did not take the lead in the polls until the Spring of 2010.
At that time, their lead was on average 1%.

Democrats have been leading the whole time since Christmas 2017, we have won 43 state house seats, a US Senate seat, a US House seat, and closed the gap in several dark red districts, yet we are being told that it's all over.

The GOP has been working the Ref's for the past 50 years and it has worked.

12. Short answer: Nope

Is the set up for for 2018 being put in place?

Only of we let it. The Trumpsters can scheme and lie all they want. The trolls can swarm all they want--we see you. But the debacle of the Trumpster Administration is set in concrete.

You're all Dead Men Walking! Get use to it. Because the earthquake and Wave is coming.

13. Maybe because the blue wave is overstated?

Maybe because campaign season has only just started and Republicans are bringing out an organized message (of scary brown people, of course), which motivates Republican voters?

Time and again I'm told Dems will do awesome then they don't show up to vote on election day.

14. Will you show up?

Are you out there making sure Democratic voters show up?

16. Take the rag away from your face. Now ain't the time for your tears.

17. Haven't seen or heard anything of the sort.

In fact, quite the opposite; especially in the context of all of the special election seat flips.

18. Do you have a link to a single one of these stories?
