Something that might counteract what's happening: making it clear that the Democrats want to impeach Trump if they take control. I think a good part of the populace is not fully aware of that. It would energize the base and I would think it would certainly cause people who voted for him, but who are not part of the rock solid base, to reconsider voting for a Dem. I think even quite a few squishy middle of the road types are uncomfortable with the idea of impeaching Trump. This has to be the counter attack in these kinds of districts, but the GOP professional consultants will not tell their candidates to do that.
“wont be enough to overcome the deep hole that President Trump has put them in”
Trump didn’t put them in it, the GOP did. The GOP created and gave succor to the special counsel, to the Russia story, they stopped the wall, they stopped the repeal of Obamacare, they have forced Trump to keep Sessions. They were dragged kicking and screaming to a half-assed tax cut.
And they blame Trump.
I don't think so. I think it will be a push, no real change in seats.
Sir you are delusional.
No reason to panic.
The GOP has acted like limp wristed do nothing noodles agreeing with the Democrats.
This has nothing to do with Trump.
Professional "consultants" from the Beltway will for the most part, get the messaging wrong.
“making it clear that the Democrats want to impeach Trump if they take control”
Clinton was impeached, and then reelected. I don’t think the Rats even know that ‘impeachment’ does not mean ‘removal from office.’ So he’s impeached? We already know they hate him.
“... a Democrat wave in November ... take the ... Senate ...”

I would like to know what scenario you see for the democrats take the senate.
I’m in suburban Pittsburgh. There is no “roiling suburban anger aimed at Trump” here.
If the “political environment” is Trump’s fault, why is he polling higher today than Obama? He is at nearly 50% now, with the economy still getting better.
Care to weigh in on this thread?
This district does not cover the City of Pittsburgh proper. That’s represented my Mike Doyle, whose as deep blue Rat as they come.
I still keep asking the same question-—what’s he done wrong? He’s cut taxes, in a very good way, he pulled out of that monstrous Paris Climate Accord, and jobs are coming back in very big way.
Republicans are learning an uncomfortable reality about the political environment for 2018
Voter fraud is real!!! Get a on it, jerks
Clintons was impeached well after his re-election. He was not re-elected after impeachment. Re-election was in Nov 1996, and impeachment and senate trial happened Dec 1998-Feb 1999.
I am now concerned. Latest poll has dem up +3.
If the democrat corruption is exposed then it will be a big help. We will find out if that is going to happen when the OIG report is released.
