I think it was Obamacare mostly.
I do think Trump will be a factor this year, just how much of one is up for debate. It depends how low the bar goes and continues to go.
It was the outrage over being forced by the feds to buy health insurance. A vast overreach by the federal government and Obama. It fueled everything else. It was the match that started the fire.
This fall the tax cuts will fuel the GOP landslide. The dems think anti-trump voting will carry the day. But people care about what happens to the personally much more than anything else.
Most people are taking home like 20 bucks a week. Ill take it but I believe you are overstating the joy. We shall see.
Trump might stop the stupid quotes. He might not.
The economy might sink or rise. We shall see.
Not sure if their loss was that big compared to other midterms, but I think the GOP was able to get their voters to the booth by being "outraged" but the debt, although it was largely their own fault.
Of course today they are ramping up the debt like never before, but there is no need for "outrage" because they are in charge. I guess GOP is better at complaining. blaming and being "outraged" than actually governing. They are also better at complaining than Dems, because I don't see them rioting/protesting on the streets like Tea Party was.
Ron Paul opened many eyes that it was one party in Washington. There really was no Republican or Democrat only an establishment government v. the constitution.
2010, was the push to get the global establishment out of one party and Global Socialism was not as embedded in the Republican side of the fence and had a much bigger door to get into. Sure there have been some sneaky wolves in sheep's clothing slide through, and they were quickly taken out the next opportunity.
The trend has been more Constitutionally Conservative, as eyes are opened to the twisted Constitution we have today, when the text is actually written in the Bill of Rights and the purpose of allowing centralized governing, of sovereign states.
A century of flipping the power structure from a constitutional bottom up, to a totalitarian top down, was almost complete.
Tea Party dinosaurs enraged by the election of a black man in 2008 voted in massive numbers in 2010 in an off year with comparatively low turnout compared to 2008.

To this day, the Progressive Establishment has tried to place a derogatory label on the PO'ed silent majority. Ron Paul's declaration of Taxed Enough Already, turned into Teabaggers(a gay sexual act).
This last time, it was Deplorable's.
Funny how the term "Racist" has played out and now it is the boy that cried wolf, with no teeth. None! It has no impact on a conversation what so ever anymore.
