The editorial board of the Wall Street Journal delivered a reality check to President Donald Trump on Thursday morning, saying his claim of a “red wave” in the coming midterms could not be further from the truth.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump tweeted a simple all-caps “RED WAVE!,” on Twitter expressing his belief that the GOP will be making large gains in November.
According to the WSJ, the Republican Party is instead looking at devastating losses tied directly to the president’s unpopularity and even more unpopular policies.

“Republicans on present trend are poised in November to lose their majority in the House of Representatives and a slew of governorships,” the editorial bluntly began. “That’s the clear message from Tuesday’s election contests and a growing body of evidence. The President’s persona is trumping positive policy results among voters, and without some intervening news or a change in strategy the result is likely to be a national left turn.”

According to the editors, the GOP narrowly averted a devastating loss in an Ohio special election, and that is a warning sign that there is major trouble on the horizon for Republicans seeking to hold both houses of Congress.

The WSJ has been delivering reality checks to the Trumpster on a fairly regular basis for the past several months now. At this point, its position as a failing purveyor of fake news is probably an article of faith among the Trumpistas.

The WSJ editors didn't do so well predicting the last election results.

The Wall Street Journal already announced their prediction of the next president in early September, as analysts strategically predicted a victory for Clinton in November. A noted market strategist and economist verified that not only will she win, but she will beat her Republican opponent by a landslide.

Maybe we should just wait and see, instead of going along with what they believe, eh?

Neither the WSJ nor anyone else at the time knew of the extent and depth of Russian involvement in the election, nor did they know of the crap James Comey would pull a week before the election.

Well, we will just have to wait and see.

I expect voter fraud in swing states to be epic.

Since there has never been any voter fraud in our lifetime, why all of a sudden would there be now?

Those excuses don't fly. Hillary had already lost...just nobody would admit it. She spent more time fund raising in Sep/Oct than she did actually talking to people.
