“is his district one where Republicans stand a good chance of winning?”

I think the Rs will hold it. This “blue wave” would have to be +70 seat high to threaten his district.

While the political environment certainly favors the Dems right now, we have a long way to go to November. Don’t join the suicide brigade and give up now. A million things are going to happen between now and then.

I will say this though ... I thought the midterms were going to be a cakewalk for the Rs after 2016. These wounds are self inflicted by the GOPe. People saying that the GOPe wants the Dems to win aren’t crackpot conspiracy theorists ... they’re 100% right.

Seriously, if the frigging GOP would at least *act* like they liked working with Trump only half of the time, they’d gain about 8 seats in the Senate and maintain a hold on the House. People are sick and tired of the 1960s/1970s era politics in DC, but it seems like that’s all the swamp knows.

I've been saying that the GOPe wants the Dims to win the House so that they will impeach Trump. And because of that, Trump won't run for reelection. Which paves the way for Ryan and Romney to run for POTUS in 2020.

But like you also said, a lot can happen between now and November.

“Blue wave” is a myth. The left’s wet dream.
