This whole "Red Wave"-talk is no more than a setup:

1. There will be a Red Wave!
2. Russia is helping the Democrats!

Combine that and you have a preemptive excuse that the Democrats stole the election.

something to invest in to reduce the blue wave

Fortunately they will be a lot more objective about it.

They will cut their losses in the House and put everything into the Senate.

"Don't worry, I've got this."

Then he says there will be a red wave.

Then he says Russians are helping Democrats.

I will bet my house that some hacked information turns up very soon that is "evidence" that the Democrats were working with Russians to change the election.

In the meantime, there will be puzzling differences between exit polls and results in November which favor republicans.
