You’re on the right track, Goran, but you’re not seeing the entire picture. American voters have five more months of a roaring economy, less taxes taken out of their paychecks, and more job opportunities. They have more time to appreciate the peace process in North Korea, Trump’s strong pimp hand in Iran and Palestine, and the EU leaders capitulation to Trump’s vision. The red wave right now may be smaller, but the Democrats have completely destroyed their chances with their #resist, their temper tantrums, and their nefarious plots to oust a legally elected President who, contrary to all elite opinions, has been most excellent for the nation!
Voters will want more of the same, even if they don’t like Trump personally. They will want more winning and less whining! Democrats are not even worth considering right now.
Add to this hat midterm elections are not usually well attended. Only people truly civic minded and or interested in politics bother to vote in the midterms. This means that the party with the base that is the MOST fired up and enthusiastic usually wins easily. In 2010 this was Republicans upset with obamacare and Democrat disdain who gave Obama his famous “shellacking.”
I think half the potential Democrat voters this time will probably stay home.
The red wave is not only coming. It’s going to be MASSIVE!

America is tired of a party of liberal sheltered elite that pushes transgender bathrooms on everyone.
Obama’s redlines were a joke

Which Democrats would that be?
Seems like Demo Dummies made their hand public and they aren't fighting for the people, they are going to actively oppress their wallets.
so far it’s almost exclusively Democrats fighting for the People, our Liberties and Freedoms, and if the Trumpublicans continue to wage War against the citizenry

Now I’m just confused about what you could possibly mean? Examples are warranted for this kind of baseless statement. Change my mind!
the Trumpublicans continue to wage War against the citizenry, they’re going to lose elections because of it

It hasn't "decided" many elections for Democrats since 2010. Over 1,000 lost elected seats. Then of course you have Trump.
If elections were decided by coastal liberal strongholds, then you might have a point. But the people sitting on their farms in Kansas think people like Pelosi are a complete joke.
Most Americans are tired of Republicans putting their Failed Loser Christian religion before our country and the Constitution. As more Democrats come out in favor of ending Cannabis Prohibition while Republicans continue with their ISIS like approach, they will decide more and more elections

America is a Christian nation. And if you grew up here, you’d know that, and you’d know why.

I love how leftist say "Americans don't like Christians" yet think Americans will somehow like:
- Trannies
- ANTIFA
- Muslims
- Illegal Aliens
- Homeless Drug Addicts

Yesterday former Bill Clinton advisor Dick Morris told radio host on New York's AM 970 that he believes the "blue wave" that Democrats are expecting to give them back the Senate and House will not materialize, and polling has backed him up.
Last week, CNN's mid term poll showed that Democrats only had a 3 point advantage, well within the margin of error, and considering that CNN is known for "oversampling" Democrats in its own polls, this is troubling for the DNC.
Additionally, a recent poll from Reuters (left leaning) has shown that Millennials are leaving the Democrat party in droves. Democrat membership in the 18-34 demographic (the bread and butter of the DNC) dropped 9% over the past 2 years, most of them becoming "independents".
"I think that [Democrats] see fool’s gold in these scandals," Morris said. "They’re putting everything behind the Stormy Daniels scandal and Michael Cohen … and the country doesn’t give a damn."
That's when Morris dropped his prediction.
"There is no blue wave coming," Morris exclaimed. "There is a red wave. And what makes it red is the blood of the Democratic Party."
Here's my official take. I believe the GOP will LOSE seats in the house but will not give it up to the DNC. I believe the GOP will GAIN seats in the senate, keeping their majority. This will mean that Trump will have both houses of congress for his entire term.
