...We do know this: the party that is out of power, picks up seats in the first mid term election. There are a few exceptions, and they are unusual...
True, and Trump is the most unusual and winningest POTUS we have ever seen. With Trump, it’s: “So it is written, so it shall be done.”
There are a ton of signs the republicans will lose seats in the House and likely lose the House. I think it will be tragic for the country.
However, there can be a game changer and that is if Trump finally declassifies all, if not most, documents pertaining to the investigation. If the press does not bury the stories and the documents clearly show Trump is innocent, which they will, and the public fully understands what has happened, then the republicans will pick up seats. I think the voters will be so mad at the media for lying to them and the dems for this horrid mess, that it can't but help Trump and republicans come election day.
However, the press will do everything to minimize it and the partisans will dismiss it, so the only thing that will get everyone's attention is indictments, which will not happen before election day. Terribly frustrating.
I could go on and on about the election, but there needs to be a gamechanger and the releasing of all the documents is it - at least a start.
