RE: Is the Water turning Red?
Turning? No, there was never a blue wave to begin with. The day after the GOP won everything, the dems (based on nothing) started running with that fake narrative, and the complicit TDS media picked it up as if they repeated it enough, it would become true. It was nothing but a confidence game the whole time, which has now collapsed. It's easy to pretend 2 years from when votes are cast, not so much when it's now 6 months away and closing.
I've said it once, I'll say it again -- everything the dems do and are involved in is a scam.

The "moderate" Republican would seem to be a fish outtake water based on that CBS poll

Also looks like the Dems are going through their own civil strife like the GOP went through prior Pres Trump

I think there’s a lot of truthiness to this.
It was a game to set expectations, attempt to demoralize R’s and conservatives, try to put a happy face on getting that azz kicked for the last eight years.
“Shellacking” comes to mind...

Haven't clicked the link. Do they provide any reasons for the total collapse on the part of the dims? You would think that, despite the MSM's best efforts to ignore the story, the constant conveyor belt of shyte sammiches coming from the DOJ, FBI, and CIA involvement in the Russian-collusion set up is taking a toll.

The swing vote has to be affected by all of the news breaking about the Obama DOJ and the Blue State's corruption. Like you say, the MSM is doing their best to not cover it and when they do, just provide fake news about it.
Also the winning our President is orchestrating has to be a big component of the numbers change. To far to the midterms to get warm and fuzzy about those numbers though, but it is promising.

Benson says it's because the economy is doing so well, which I agree in part, but I think it's also the utter collapse of the muh russia narrative along with how it is blowing back in the face of the dems, the illegal insertion (by obama?) of multiple spies into the Trump campaign in attempt to plant something they could point back to in the event that Trump won (was this the insurance policy?), success on the Korean Peninsula (hostages + summit), and the easing of trade war fears with Gyna (which anyone with a clue knew was never going to happen in the first place).

I still think that all of this is a tactic to try to scare their base into being more proactive in voting. Voter turnout for the Dems was down a huge amount during the election, I think they're trying to act like they are losing in an attempt to scare people to the polls. Or... to make republicans think they dont need to go vote because we will win.

I don't think so. The dem's scam is dependent on narrative and being part of the "winning team". Uninformed voters (millennial college students) that the dems are relying on aren't going to turn out to vote for losers.

Yet you have college students turning out in droves to protest a speaker because 'someone told me they were a nazi'. There have been a couple of times people have done interviews with protesters, and asked them what they didn't like about the speaker, and these dumb kids would just parrot back what they had read online from their friends.
I mean how dumb do you have to be to call someone like Ben Shapiro a Nazi. And yet... they call him that because "It's a known fact."

Vocal minority. A lot of the dems’ bluster can be chalked up to precisely that. That’s the scam — convince everyone you’re winning so that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. It obviously doesn’t work, but you have limited options when you’re a coastal fringe group.
College campuses are full of some of the dumbest people on the planet, that can’t be relied on to do anything, so careful in projecting what you see there into a broader trend. There has to be a “movement” for millennials to get excited enough to actually show up. TDS isn’t a movement, it’s cringe.
Even bernie (which I admit, was a movement among millennials) came up short against hillary, the worst candidate of all time.

I said the same thing to the lefties. The campaign is still 4 months away. Any poll now is worth about as much as used toilet paper.

RE: Is the Water turning Red?
If you're a rational person and simply look at the merits of the Trump presidency so far you have to be happy with what's happened.
-Defeated ISIS in 6 months
-Passed tax reform/cuts
-Economy is doing well
-Is actually improving unemployment for blacks to the lowest level in history
-Talks to potentially denuclearize N. Korea (which might be a long shot but if he succeeds would be the greatest foreign policy achievement since the cold war ended)
-working to improve trade with China
-Finally moving the Embassy to Jerusalem
-Getting us out of the Iran deal that was allowing Iran to fund terrorism all throughout the middle east.
The only negative that I can think of is failure at health reform which is badly needed. The fact that he's accomplished this with the media, democrats and even a large contingent of republicans going against everything he does is an unbelievable accomplishment.
He's also the first president in my lifetime to make a promise and actually follow through with it. I don't know if we will ever see a political leader like this again.
