IN THE COMMENTS: Henry delves into the Balz article and finds a fantastic paragraph and riffs:
Metaphor madness!Ha ha. I thought of blue serge suit before I got to Henry's pursuit of mixing up the metaphor even more than Balz did by throwing in a tornado. Maybe Balz was thinking of a Sharknado. Anyway, Henry prodded me to find this cool song:
But is it a blue wave (enough to get to 23 pickups), a blue tsunami (Democratic gains of well beyond 25), a blue tornado (picking off Republicans but in a more haphazard and therefore less predictable pattern), a strong tide, a riptide or just a blue surge (that would keep Democrats short of their goal)?
One of these things is not like the other.
If not blue tornado, what? This [is] probably where Mr. Balz should have used riptide.
He has too many categories as it is. He needs to use riptide in place of tornado and figure whether strong tide and blue surge are the same or different.

Blue surge, makes me think The Blue Serge Suit, a high-school-compilation staple when I was a kid, which is about a different kind of victory altogether.
He isn't hep to jive, he's only half alive
Hep cats call him square
You won't believe this, Jack
But all his clothes date back
To '29, I swear
He wears a blue serge suit with a belt in the back
No drape, no shape, just a belt in the back...
He wears high shoes and a pair of spats
If you dig that junk it'll drive you bats
Maybe someday he's gonna crack
And burn that blue serge suit with the belt in the back

If Bozo beats Cruz it will certainly move Texas down a couple of notches in my estimation.
Beto is Kennedyesque. He fled the scene of his DWI.
Texans long for open borders, higher taxes and mandatory homosexuality. Beto for sure.
If there is a God, I wonder what He thinks about requests made while invoking His name as a joke.
"if there is no God..."

Will not be happening. I live in Texas, and I know the state fairly well. I can point to a map and show you which counties O'Rourke will carry, those being El Paso, Bexar, Harris, Dallas, Travis and the Rio Grande Valley and a fair amount of South Texas. The collar counties around Austin, San Antonio, Houston, D-FW as well as all the rural areas, with their small towns and small cities, such as Tyler, Lufkin, San Angelo and the other small places, will vote for Cruz. The collar counties around the metro areas are beginning to shift blue, but are still going to vote Cruz. Also, I suspect O'Rourke is expecting the Hispanics in Texas to turn our and vote for his nickname, but Hispanics in Texas don't turn out to vote in large numbers, and this is a forlorn hope. Cruz by six, as an Ellen DeGeneres endorsement doesn't carry much wait in Waxahachie or Amarillo.
The algorithms that pollsters utilize are still remarkably flawed. Cruz will carry Texas with ease and Beto will become yet another political footnote.
Amen, @roadgeek. Beto is more popular outside of Texas than inside.
Ain’t gonna happen. Gun-grabbing, accident-fleeing fake Latino. Where do Dems get these freaks?
Canadian-American? Perhaps a White Canadian? Does Cruz have any Hispanic heritage? That's well-trodden territory.
According to real clear politics the Senate isn't out of reach. A blue wave would sweep Democrats in to power not just in Congress but also in the Senate.
Right now, it's 48/44 Republicans. That means Dems need 7 of the 8 toss ups.
And it seems to me a blur wave would give them at least that many.
Metaphor madness!

Using the name Beto is cultural appropriation. I'm sure the SJW will be out in force denouncing this meso-aggression.
Erasing Cruz' Hispanic origins is racist.
If God exists, it is assured my congressman is not going to become my senator.
(Yeah, I live in El Paso.)
"If there is a God, I wonder what He thinks about requests made while invoking His name as a joke."
He's like, now, I'm going to do the opposite!
Democrats dreaming of Ted Cruz'n for a Blues'n.
"Blogger Mike said...

"A long shot is Texas, where Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke has captured the imaginations of Democrats as no other candidate this year. "
Yes, the Democrats have wild imaginations that need capturing.
It says everything you need to know about the audience WaPo writes for and how WaPo accommodates them. News aint got much to do wit it.
So, the Beto people are urging voters to side with Donald Trump and dump Cruz?
Sure.
Thank you, roadgeek!
I'm a Texan at heart, regrettably stuck in Northern California.
It's kinda like being an aggressive Lesbian, stuck in a man's body.
How do you pronounce that name? Is it "Bay-to" as in beta, or "Beat-o" as in lose-o?
Hispanics in Texas don't turn out to vote in large numbers,
Only in San Antonio in 1948 and only with George B Parr in charge.
Especially Precinct 13 and the 200 alphabetical voters.
Also on Friday, Jim Wells County telephoned in its amended return, ''and suddenly, with virtually all the counting in the election over, Coke Stevenson was no longer ahead,'' Mr. Caro said. Johnson had won by 87 votes. Challenge and Affirmation Mr. Caro confirmed the charges made at the time by Stevenson supporters that county officials had cast the votes of absent voters and had changed the numbers on the tallies. For example, he said, Jim Wells County provided an extra 200 votes for Johnson merely by changing the 7 in ''765'' to a 9.
I live in Lufkin. I've seen exactly two Beto signs.

It's "Bay-to" -- but I guarantee most Texans say "Beat-o" until they hear one of his campaign ads.
When I first heard that O’Rourke had a DWI twenty years ago, I think I sorta shrugged. Then the details came in. He was blowing .136, he was traveling at “a high rate of speed” on an interstate that had a 75 mph speed limit, he clipped a truck, he lost control of the car, it crossed the median, and he wiped out. A witness prevented him from trying to flee the scene. The accident occurred near the point where I-10 crosses the Texas-NM border on its way to Las Cruces.
That, to me, is pretty serious, and if there’d been more traffic on the other side of the road then he could have killed someone. I don't know if the accident is disqualifying per se, but I don’t think I would vote for him. But I am not a Democrat so I take law-breaking seriously.
"How do you pronounce that name? Is it "Bay-to" as in beta, or "Beat-o" as in lose-o?"
Bay-toe
As a rule it is generally harder to tarnish the incumbent, than it is to tarnish the challenger. The incumbent is already a known quantity politically. Plus, I think the Trumpians in the Republican party are actually pretty happy with Ted Cruz compared to many other Republican Senators and Representatives. The Kerfuffle about Beto O'Rourke supporting the kneeling NFL players and the stories about how got a DUI 20 years ago, and may have tried to flee the scene afterwards, are more damaging to Mr. O'Rourke. And the challenger is always the one that has the uphill battle to fight.
Got an innocuous text from the Beto campaign. Asked if I would be supporting Beto.
Responded "None of your business. Don't text me again. Have a nice day."
Text! They sent me a freaking text. I hate that.
If Beto wins, I will weep for my state. The blue horde has been trying since that twit, Wendy Davis, was the flavor of the month.
There is much more interest in Robert O'Rourke outside of Texas than within, and certainly more funding for him from outside of Texas. All the stories remind me of the certainty that Wendy Davis would be the next Texas Governor.
I have a theory that Trump will appoint Cruz to the Supreme Court when RBG takes her dirt nap.
He would be a better Justice than Senator.
It's a white Texan trying to pass as Latino versus a Latino Canadian trying to pass as white Texan.
You can't make this shit up

Agree.
Blue lagoon.
Lagoon is French for "the goon."
And that describes Beto and all Democrats.
I wonder why Democrats hate Ted Cruz so much? I think he was second pick for who they wanted to win the Presidential nomination in 2016 behind Trump. I wonder if it is linked to the Healthcare debates he had after the election with Bernie Sanders. I seem to recall Bernie Sanders getting trounced.
Blogger Michael K said...

I think Ruth Bader Ginsburg will stay on the court even if she has to be wheeled in on a gurney attached to a ventilator. Can a supreme court justice delegate their powers to another via durable power of attorney?
I'm hip. I'm hep. I'm so hip, I was hep when it was hip to be hep.
“Right now, it's 48/44 Republicans. That means Dems need 7 of the 8 toss ups.
And it seems to me a blur wave would give them at least that many.”
Let me suggest that that is highly unlikely. Too many Dem incumbents running in states Trump won by double digits. Sure, they appear to be dumping massive amounts of money into those races (we have been seeing two Tester ads in single commercial breaks since the first of the year in MT). But that isn’t going to be enough. Esp when Trump starts seriously campaigning.
"...... if there is a God, let O'Rouke kick Cruz' sorry Canadian can to the curb."
Well there is a God and He will give us the government we deserve.
"If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place on their account.” How about 45? 40? 30? 20? 10? “I will not destroy it on account of the ten.”
Beto the beatnik. He can be the pretend Senator from Austin. Seriously, Trump will never lose a Senate seat he campaigns for in Texas. This is serious disinformation.
Trump is just warming up with the special elections.
He will be out there every day as he knows very well this is the 1856 election.
An interesting theory on what happened to the Tea Party, aside from the Obama IRS of course.
I remember that Dick Armey had a dustup with one PAC and then became a lobbyist.
Hmmmm.

I think you are referring to your dirty nappies that you never change. If I open my door, your stink comes wafting in from a thousand miles away. My nose says, "You are a foul-smelling illegal alien," and ought to be deported to a Chinese laundry in China. The Chinese would think you are a beached and decaying beluga whale.

Rhymes with Frito.
@Trumpit: Would you like fries with that? Seagulls loves fries.
I prefer PJ to Beto....
Maybe it will be the blue flush of the TidyBowl -- TedyBowl? -- sending the Ds down the crapper....
I thought a Blue Surge was an oversize convenience store drink consisting mostly of artificial flavor, blue food coloring, empty sugar calories and ice.
Seems like a good metaphor.
@Karen - I'm getting texts from the Beto campaign too. No idea why. But they are addressing me as "Twanda" - go figure :-)
I was on record months ago that Republicans would have 55 or 56 senators in January.
Democrat potential losses:
Indiana
Florida
West Virginia
Montana
Missouri
New Jersey
Rhode Island
Republican potential losses:
Nevada
Arizona (no incumbent)
Tennessee (no incumbent)
Biggest factor, at this point, that identifies a likely losing incumbent is polling below 50% in a poll with reasonable internals.
Being a democrat will win El Paso regardless of his non Hispanic bloodlines. It doesn't mean too much. He's this years' Wendy Davis The ladies love him for sure which shows how far they've come.
Is this the new normal now for Texas? A Wendy Davis "upset" always in the making?
@Karen - I'm getting texts from the Beto campaign too. No idea why. But they are addressing me as "Twanda" - go figure :-)
It's because you are female. My bet is that they aren't similarly targeting men.
Montana? ehh I wouldn't be so sure. Our candidate got nothin goin for him except Trump.
Hey Doc, very interesting theory you posted. Lately we've been bombarded with mailed requests for donations from organizations I've never heard of with vaguely Repub sounding names. I figured they were scam artists. Never imagined the PAC angle. We do have lotsa Dems voting in Republican primaries locally.
Be curious to see how "Blotto" O'Rourke does after all the hype.
My bet is that they aren't similarly targeting men.
@Karen - I'm also getting the text messages, except they are meant for my wife. It's very annoying.

Beto is the best ya got? Sorry sacks of shit.
Birkel... Tennessee (no incumbent)
R's voted in the Tennessee primaries 2 to 1 over the D's. The polls probably have TN as D+7 to reach their tossup status.
Does anyone take anything said during a primary seriously? Democrats think they are exposing some brand new piece of hypocrisy, but they just look like naive morons. Hillary made Obama look terrible during their primary and no Democrat ended up caring.
wild chicken,
Tester is polling below 50% as an incumbent. Tester is spending money accordingly.
Some Seppo,
Bredesen has been ex-governor for long enough that people forget his failures. He messed around at the margins of TennCare but never fixed it. He was by far the best statewide Democrat available in Tennessee. And I think it will be close. The lack of incumbency means Blackburn has a lot of ground to cover.
"Hey Doc, very interesting theory you posted."
Yeah. I pretty much limit donations to candidates I know.
Interesting post at CTH.
Does it mean what it says ? We'll see in two months.
You know why the entire apparatus is united against President Trump. You know why the entire Wall Street apparatus is united against President Trump. You know why every institutional department, every lobbyist, every K-Street dweller, every career legislative member, staffer, and the various downstream economic benefactors, including the corporate media, all of it – all the above, are united against Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is an existential threat to the very existence of the UniParty. Donald Trump is an existential threat to every entity who benefits from the UniParty.
Worst Ruling Class in our history,
Hard to say what's going to happen on November 6th, because my main source for polling data is RealClearPolitics.com and they aren't showing a lot of poll results. I assume that's because the polling firms just aren't doing a lot of polling right now and will get going after Labor Day (which is, yes, today).
RCP lists 43 House races as toss-ups, but after spot-checking a bunch of them I see most have no polling data reported at all. The Democrats only have to win 17 of the 43 to retake the House, but 41 of the 43 are currently held by Republicans and most of them have incumbent office-holders that have won two or more elections already, so if they've been doing their constituent outreach and constituent service then they they could be in pretty good shape. No way that the GOP can hold all 43, but I don't know that the Democrats will win 17.
And then you look at the ones marked "Likely Democrat" or "Leans Democrat." One of them is Florida 27, Maria Salazar versus the elderly Donna Shalala. That doesn't look like a "Likely Democrat" contest. OTOH, Virginia 10 is correctly marked "Leans Democrat." My incumbent Congress Critter has pissed off the wealthy in her district by voting for the GOP tax cuts (most of whom will lose tens of thousands of dollars because of the limits on property taxes) and she pissed off the working class people in her district by being for open borders and voting against AHCA (after campaigning against Obamacare). So I am starting to feel better about the GOP holding the House.
In the Senate, the most recent poll in Tennessee has Blackburn up by 4, but that poll is four weeks old and the ones showing Bredesen ahead are from July and April. In Arizona Sinema was up by 8 in early June, but there have been no polls since McSally won the primary. Who's up in Arizona, and who's down? Who knows? In Indiana, there are no polls since early August. It's worse in Montana, which has no polls since early July. Missouri shows either ties or statistical ties going back to April, but no polls for the last four weeks. North Dakota has had no polling since June.
Florida is getting good polling, but the news is not good for Nelson. Scott is ahead and drawing away.
There are four states where the Senate races are marked "Leans Democrat," but I'm not so sure the Democrats will win them all. Three of the four -- Baldwin in Wisconsin, Menendez in New Joy-sey, and Smith in Minnesota -- show support slipping in the trend line, but they're still ahead. Joe Manchin is much liked in West Virginia, but that episode at the State of the Union, where Manchin stood up to applaud at one point but was glared back down into his seat by Chuck Schumer, will cost him.
I don't think we'll see a blue wave and there's no way it will be a tsunami.
It would be great if Ted Cruz won because he's an honest guy with tons of integrity and cares more how difficult things are for the huge corporations and what the government can do for them instead of for the average Texan working-class Texan. It's high-time Texas had a senator who did more for the corporations than for the people and Ted Cruz is that man!
Also, his wife is very attractive. Trump said so.
Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are lucky that they have each other to support: Two of the most honest politicians ever. You can really trust what one says about the other - depending on what day of the week it is.
I also like how Ted Cruz' 2016 campaign slogan was "TRUSTED." As in, the past tense of the verb. You once trusted him, but no longer do.
Honesty is a liability in a Republican politician. They're running to capture of the votes of people who lie so easily to themselves, after all.
Worst Ruling Class in our history,
And a wanna-be elite like you should know.
Don’t Beto on my blue swayed Cruz.

To get a neuron firing in Michael K's head is a serious fire hazard.
Big Mike,
The only quibble I have is that the polling has not been public. But you can bet there has been polling.
And my bet is that if the polling were great for Democrats, then it would be public.
Florida has good polling and shows a swing state swinging to the Republican. Is that indicative of anything? Who knows?
"Tester is polling below 50% as an incumbent"
I hope it holds. Rosendale looks like such a retard with those goofy eyes.
Montana gop has a real short bench, Marc Racicot disappearing into biglaw, his successor flaming out, and our best guy Tim Fox dealing with cancer.
We just can't catch a break.
Scaramucci was soooooo anti-establishment.
Huckleberry-Sanders is soooooo anti-establishment. Heck, her daddy's just a measly old established Arkansas governor with a FOX news broadcast host history. THat's like the hallmark of someone without any power.
Trump of course is just a lowly working-class occasional billionaire (depending on his bankruptcy du jour). He's so locked out of the circles of power in America - like all those tabloid edited stories at The Enquirer that he paid David Pecker to NOT publish. THat's some real grassroots power-to-the-people stuff, there. Every trailer park resident does that every day. And they also attend Clinton family weddings like Trump did.
Other elites don't hate his power. They hate him personally because he's a creepy asshole. But that's something that Michael K can relate to.
Watch K now sputter with a weak-little rage-y anti-working class comment about fast food employees. Yep, that really proves the point, Michael. You are a true tribune of the plebs. If by tribune of the plebs one means someone who hates the working class.
Does it have something to do with how wealthy the family of the au pair was whose tittay nursed you when your struggling working class Irish family paid for the young Michael Kennedy to have a wet nurse?

Muellers firm represented deutsche bank and the libor pirates, as well as a clique of Qatari investors, he personally represented facebook, and banamex, a Mexican bank which didn't care if their were blood spatter on the packs of 100s, so it's very opera buffe if one cares to look,

@Big Mike
I was called by a nationally known pollster this very weekend. I lied and will vote the exact opposite. I'm guessing a fair few people do the same which is why the polls are wrong much of the time.
Big Mike,
If you read the history of Russians reading Pravda and Izvestia, one sympathizes. We are trying to divine the truth beyond our personal experience when entire operations are designed to thwart our efforts. But I can observe things around me.
Like Russians reading “Reagan will make seniors eat dog food” who correctly interpreted the message as “Americans are so rich their dogs have separate food”... I think it is impossible for the MSM to stem the tide. They can fool the willingly ignorant but not much more.
———————————
Perhaps a better way to understand the current political mood is to recognize that equity interests have done very well these last 25 years. It is the middle class, the workers, who have felt American stagnation. Many of the commenters here have wealth, passive income, and the ability to position ourselves on the side of equity. And yet many of us are ill at ease with the state of affairs. If Leftists did not control education, entertainment, and news... this would be a 70/30 country.
Or, more succinctly, Leftists cannot win the battle of ideas and must attempt to suppress the other side.
Maybe we his is the Gell-Mann converse theory.
Failed molecular biology student Ritmo is back. I can tell from the smell.
Maybe this is the Gell-Mann converse theory.
you need to read between the lines, like the way the journal treated the Qatari lobbying effort, which involved ex filtration of data, from the uae, with the way allegations against Russia are taken as gospel,
I can tell from the smell.
If you retract your head from that ass of yours up which it's stuck I think you'll find that the smell will improve greatly.
Since the powers that be lament crude, rude GOP know-nothings, they rightly shower lots of love on super smart, professionally successful, smooth and polite, Princeton-Harvard GOPers like Cruz, who speak in complete paragraphs.
@BJM, I think there's a lot of that going around.
BJM,
If polled I would lie. Without question. And I think that impulse - to resist the PTB - is strong amongst conservatives.
@Birkel, I get where you are coming from. I remember back when the GOP was being mostly funded by evangelicals the media kept cautioning that "a party cannot fly with only one wing." Yet today the same media drones do not see a problem with Democrats trying to fly using only the extreme tip of their left wing.
I think the Democrats need a shellacking in two months, to pull them back from their extremism. But that's just my opinion.
Big Mike,
Excellent point. I remember those days well but only after your reminder.
Reagan had just won 44 and then 49 states. And Bush pretended that coalition was somehow not a winning one. But he was in on the con.
I think the Democrats need a shellacking in two months, to pull them back from their extremism. But that's just my opinion.
It will be interesting to see if that happens. I assume the Norks are watching and probably the Chinese to see if the Democrats will save them from Trump.
I remember reading the nation even Harper's magazine, they really stink like a round of Calvert now, the new republic is downright unreadable. Since they purged Marty peretz.
" Since they purged Marty peretz."
I wrote him a letter after he supported Gore and he wrote back. Pretty level headed guy compared to what they are now.
Agree partially with the article Michael K linked to.
The tea party was exploited for fundraising by the uniparty.
And that tarnished fund raising.
Plus lots of broken promises by the GOP once elected, Trump has been an amazing exception. The lack of achievements by the current Congress is upsetting, and how they have done their best to hold Trump back. I have hope the next Congress will be much more pro Trump. Lots of uniparty GOP retiring! And with the senate with a slim majority currently, so easy for 1 or 2 senators to stop things from happening (McCain was one).
"It's worse in Montana, which has no polls since early July. "
I got a call from a "research" outfit a couple days ago with 20 min of questions.
I couldn't tell who was behind it. Told them I get my news from the net and swear I'm seeing more political ads now.
An incumbent who is running lots of ads is in trouble.
That money would be used supporting other candidates (READ: buying influence) if the incumbent sensed no danger.
Duke Ellington recorded Blue Serge, whose composition is usually credited to his son Mercer.
"TRUSTED"
Being purposefully dense must be fun. TRUSTED phonetically is Trust Ted. Not that I'm a big Cruz fan, but you're just being dumb.
My main worry is that Democrats are.going to turn the voter fraud up to 11. Not even try to cover it up. Totally brazenly just lie about the vote count everywhere they have one of their own responsible for reporting the numbers. And HOPING that Republicans contest the numbers, because they know that all they have to do is scream "Fascism!" and their tools like Inga and Ritmo will eat it up. The choice they will give Republicans is to accept massive fraud, or be faced with riots. I see no good way to respond to this.

Sessions is gone after the midterm. Trump wont screw up his next AG and he will have 56-62 republican senators.
We know who is funding the violence. Start throwing people who fund violence in jail with the people who commit violence.
Throw people who commit election fraud in jail.
Easy peasy.
I see we're now in "expectation management" mode of the election. Which is the place both sides should generally be.
"A long shot is Texas, where Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke has captured the imaginations of Democrats as no other candidate this year."

I would like a law where a state needs to audit its voter rolls every 10 years or risk having their electors disqualified.
Hispanics vote just fine in Texas, they just don't follow the plantation expectation. There is huge Anglo/Hispanic intermarriage in Texas and, by racial math, all families and offspring are now Hispanic (which I highly recommend, even if your name is Smith but your mama was a Ramirez, for the benefit).
Beto is plugging away but Cruz is keeping powder dry for later. Beto is following the same path as not-Gov Wendy Davis, who was a media darling and got tones of Hollywood money and had a "real chance" to turn Texas blue.
