I think this whole mid-term talk is mostly bogus. On the Senators....there’s a four-seat gain likely for the GOP. In the house, I could see five GOP seats in Florida affected by 18-year-olds voting along DNC patterns, and maybe ten seats nationally flipping to the Democrats, but it won’t change much of anything.
The other factor playing into this is the lack of DNC money....they are flat broke, and there’s been no real effort by Obama or Hillary to go and help them recover. They threw a ton of money in Alabama....every penny they could lay their hands on....but that only gets them and their one real win to 2020, and he has to run again.
I see nothing in the commentary that supports the assertion of the headline. In fact, I think that any prediction of the outcome of the midterm election is a fool’s errand at this point. The polls are useless, the special elections are not predictive, and the rest is just some much bleating. The Democrats have experienced some success motivating their electorate, but only time will tell if that holds. The Republicans, thus far, have been silent, so the game is yet to begin.
