The 2018 Democratic Wave Is About More Than Congress
Absurd statement.
2018 is about Congress, nothing more. Personally, I hope every Democrat is replaced by a Republican so no matter what happens it is going to disappoint me a little.
MAGA while there is still hope. You may have noticed that Dems are now opposed to everything they promoted under Obama. If they regain power there will be no hope.
So you're saying all those Democrats who are challenging previously uncontested Republican seats are a myth? They don't really exist?
I live in a Texas and I am seeing TV commercials that feature unknown new progressive candidates in US rep races. There is a highly intelligent, talented Dem campaigner named Beto O’Rourke who looking to unseat the despicable Ted Cruz from the US Senate.

I know off topic, but
how's Houston doing??? since the storms???hope all is ok
Right. One can point to Oklahoma where in 2016 more than usual incumbent Republican legislators got challengers, but most of them won reelection. If Trump's popularity rating in Oklahoma remains above 50% in 2018, then Republican incumbents in Oklahoma shouldn't have much to worry about in November.
Your own link says the biggest problem for the Republicans is Trump. And if Trump is still in the White House by November, the intense disapproval the majority of the country has for him will be a deciding factor. That, and the women's movement has really become a force to be reckoned with. Women are more than 50 percent of the population. Deny that at your peril.
Um... The Democrats just did EXACTLY that by trotting out a #PrivilegedWhiteMale as their official spokesperson last night.
Joe Kennedy III, the Congressional Black Caucus, and that idiot walking out while the crowd chanted USA has ended any hopes the Democrats are going anywhere but down.
I'm not concerned at all. Pelosi and Schumer are gifts to the GOP that "keep on giving". Also, I do not believe that local elections have anything to do with Trump as POTUS. The focus right now is illegal immigration and just whether that is more important to Americans than what the issues were during the presidential campaign: economy, healthcare, jobs and security/terrorism. I don't see illegal aliens rising to the top there.
Yet women of color, and from ethnic minorities, young and talented, are coming out in droves to vote and stand for election all across America. AND they are winning. The old GOP scare tactics of terrorism and illegal immigration is losing yugely. Thank you, Trump.
The hatered of President Obama gave us Trump. America is now back on track after seeing his unholy mess for a year.

But I welcome your confident optimism. I hope your fellow Republicans feel equally complacent.
liberals should admit their peril....if they continue the spin of:
so again...rape is bad...unless you are bill Clinton
women should be marching against hitlery and the fascist liberal ilk
Candidate Hillary..."I'm for women".........................the real hillary........." the rapist was lured by the 15 yr old".... "all these tramps seduced my husband"
candidate Hillary..."I'm for minorities and blacks".......the real Clintons......"Obama, he's a n-word"
the fascist liberals are chock full of nuts and they will rape and pillage anything in their way
so answer this... is the #metoo hashtag a distraction to be dismissed as Hillary does, ..... or is it a sincere movement to protect women from POS like bill Clinton and trump???? do liberals truly support women, or do they just dismiss them, and abuse them
As with a lot of other posters, I just don't see the angry left picking up a lot of seats. While the democrats played to the fringe the republicans stole the middle. Democrats once represented the working class. It seems now that the democrats play to and promote a dependent class. The message of hope and feeling that if I work hard I will be rewarded, rather than sit and rot waiting on a hand out. That is a powerful message.
You are not good enough to compete in this unfair world. Let us take care of you.... This is insidious and evil. Taking away any vestige of hope by creating a victim of society. Tough to make ground with that message in an up economy. Good luck.
