Yeah that could happen but Repubs are also motivated because we are finally getting decent governance. I've been saying for a long time that it's 50-50 on the Dims taking the House. Considering the built in polling and reporting bias, the "Blue Wave" is not so certain.
If the electorate elects a majority obstructionist democrat house in November, that will end the positive economic growth experienced for the last two years. No doubt in my mind.
democrat politicians' promises of free stuff for all and freedom from personal responsibilities by trusting the Government to provide for our every need is popular with many voters. I absolutely think the blue wave is coming in november.
we always get the governance we deserve. elections have consequences.

While I'm not going to make predictions on whether or not Republicans keep the House (because I don't want to jinx it), let's not get excited about Democrats making huge net gains. It's quite possible for them to gain just ten seats, but you know that that won't be enough to recapture the House. President Trump has many supporters who will go out and vote, but all conservatives just need to stand up and not be complacent at a time like this. We know what's at stake here. And remember, now, a lot of Democrats have denounced their party and have left it, so that could play big should Republicans flip a few blue seats and end up with a net gain.
So, no matter who writes these articles, you just take them with a grain of salt.

Sounds like you forgot who brought us the great recession of 2008-2009 and what happened to the stock market under Obama after it bottomed in 2009. The same improving employment numbers under Obama that were called fake by the liar-in-laws chief and his supporters are now being praised. Ridiculous

the house of representatives and the senate flipped from republican majority to democrat majority in the 2006 elections when the economy was very robust. a year later, with democrats in control of congress,.....economic meltdown and deep recession.

Wrong, the seeds had been laid with the 2001 recession, these things take years. That's why tRump can't take credit for this economy yet
Im hoping for an outcome that leads to more bickering and less cooperation .
If we must have one, a congress that doesnt work is preferable to one that does.
