Hillarry will win the Blue wall which will make her a 3-2 favorite to become president. However her unfavorables keep growing and the enthusiasm gap is massive and growing. That means she won't win the house and may not win the senate.
Head winds include:
The effective death of the Obamacare Bronze plan will probably happen prior to the election. This will be due to growing adverse selection and limited time safeguards for the insurers expiring.
Interest rate hikes in June and/or Sept. will cause the capital value of retirement accounts to decline.
Economic growth rates in the EU and China are declining. India is improving but not enough to offset the other declines for 2-3 years
Even without Trump's skill at dirty tricks, demonstrated in the primaries, Hillary,s baggage needs at least a very long train.
Given the usual underreported antics of most Democratic strongholds and Trump's willingness to get down and dirty even after the election, again demonstrated in the primaries, D incumbents nationwide will look back fondly on the 2000 election. D senators up for election in 2018 may actually cross the aisle, nor many but 2-3 is quite possible, if the Trumpster really turns up the heat.
Those 2-3 may not be needed because Hillary will be cordially hated after she's Trumped at least outside the blue wall and blue leaning states with a nationwide net favorable at -50 or higher so she will have zero coattails and quite possibly negative coattails. This is likely to be the dirtiest elections since sometime back in the 1800s.
My call, Hillary will win the EC but probably not the beauty contest. She may or may not win the Senate.
