Every Twitter feed that bypasses the liberal media is met with millions of cheers.

Denial democrats in 2018.
Popular? Not really.

Gallup Daily: Trump Job Approval | Gallup

He's around 50%...I'd call "popular" more like 60% and above (especially this early in a term).

He isn't the most unpopular president, though - so he's doing OK there.

That's the short list, anyone that thinks that the democrats can't pick up seats lives way on the right.


What is this new demographic they are picking up that wasn't carried in 2016.
Well they sure as hell aren't going to be picking up votes in rural areas with their behavior and they already own the cities. As for demographics, the groups that vote Democrat are usually too lazy to vote in midterm elections.

The new Democrat "coalition" are completely unreliable voters and don't show up for midterms. Republicans will win all the red state seats.

Well the rust belt states were a problem in this election, like I said we will see if Trump fulfills his many, many promises.


I think there will be some interest in the 2018 elections by democrats, just guessing.

Agree. Rust belt will hinge on whether trump keeps his promises. And it's feasible 2018 could be like 2006 when the Republicans got wiped out, but Trump's base would have to largely desert him like Bush's did.

Look at the GOP town halls around the country, doesn't look like their constituents are very happy.
