Don't know nor do I care, dems are nowhere near taking back the thousand plus seats lost under Obama ; but it is normal for the party out of power to make.off year election gains
I do know.l that tremendous money has been spent on the 40 seats dems have won
Republicans will be have at least 54 in the Senate and will maintain control of the House after the midterms
Would you care to wager on that?
"The thousand plus seats lost under Obama".....
They seem to have forgotten both the roughly 600 seats Democrats gained in 2006 & 2008; and that politics is a pendulum which has been swinging back to the left since Trump became president.
By all rights, you should be winning, as the party out of power always makes gains in midterms
But Democrat leadership is hellbent on throwing that advantage away with mind boggling foolishness and poor choices
I am actually shocked to witness how poorly they are managing this opportunity
And that trend will continue. The wave that's coming is made up of non traditional candidates of suburban women, women of color, and vets running as Democrats. The majority of voters will be women, and young voters who have traditionally stayed home during midterm elections.
Elections are won in the margins by few votes in places that are usually unexpected. Just ask Trump. With the number of current members retiring, most of those seats will be picked up in those low percentage margins by a woman that is challenging the seat.
Elections both national, and state will start to see losses by Republicans in districts that have traditionally voted Republican since the early 90's. This has already started, and states like Texas and Georgia will probably turn blue by the end of the decade from 2020-2030. As the population demographic makes huge changes between now and 2040, this will accelerate, and more states in the south starting with Florida will be changing from red to blue also.
The job market will become even more technology driven, and college educated voters will continue leaning more and more Democratic, as the traditional fossil fuel driven petrochemical industry loses more and more influence, and universal healthcare, and issues like child care for all of those college educated techie moms becomes the issues of the day.
