To be fair, I think most veteran election watchers will tell you: The race for Deputy Assistant to the Dogcatcher in Plumb’s Patch is often a leading indicator of national electoral tides.

It’s also pretty obvious that we are going to get smoked in the midterm elections at all levels. You can deny it all you want, you could point to meaningless elections. The only thing that will save us in the House, is that everything is so gerrymandered that even when the Democrats win, it should be a fairly narrow margin.
But people are getting tired of Trump, they’re getting tired of the chaos. They’re getting tired of the mixed messages, they’re getting tired of nobody being held accountable, they’re getting tired of the lack of focus on affordability and bringing prices down, and they’re mostly pissed about the fact that we are currently in another Mideast war. It doesn’t matter that the Democrats are worse, this is simply based on history. The Republicans and Trump are fighting an uphill battle in a midterm election, and neither one of them are doing anything to ensure their victory. When voters get angry about things, they reflexively revert to the party out of power.
