It's entertaining when anti-Trumpers keep trying to deceive themselves that they have a chance.... But they won't put one gram of skin in that wager = they don't even believe the crap that they are telling themselves....
Also don't forget 2010 Obama suffered a net loss of 63 seats, the largest shift in seats since the 1948 elections....
In fact Obama lost the House and Senate in 2010 and 2014.
Obama was doomed.....right?
Obama did well for himself only. During his term he lost over 1000 Democrat seats in congress and though-out the country combined. And then because people were so fed up with Democrats we now have President Trump.
For decades, there was an unvaried rhythm to life in America’s suburbs: Carpool in the morning, watch sports on weekends, barbecue in the summer, vote Republican in November.
Then came President Trump.
The orderly subdivisions and kid-friendly communities that ring the nation’s cities have become a deathtrap for Republicans, as college-educated and upper-income women flee the party in droves, costing the GOP its House majority and sapping the party’s strength in state capitals and local governments nationwide.
As one Republican in Arizona put it, the GOP has gone from defending conservative principles like free trade and a muscular stance against Russia and North Korea to defending Trump’s latest Tweets.
The GOP has a choice here--defend Trump or defend the traditional Republican party platform. It seems they are choosing the former. And that leaves many Republicans with no party to support.
Bless your heart, we know you mean well, but we understand TDS is a powerful force for some folks.

We live in a suburb city, and have watched the pace pick up on our older conservative neighbors heading off to assisted living facilities or the funeral home.
Our new neighbors tend to be younger families that are far more liberal.
It's not really going to matter because the Dems don't have a single candidate that is worth voting for. Nobody, especially suburban voters, don't want the higher taxes that would come with a leftist socialist agenda. Most suburban voters are fairly stable with jobs, health insurance, and a decent income. They don't want socialized medicine or open borders.
The Dems haven't learned that people vote with their wallets. Faced with the prospect of those wallets getting lighter under a Democrat, voting for Trump (again) won't seem so bad, even if they don't care for his brash personality.

Well, the people of Orange County, California, long a Republican stronghold, voted out their Republican Congresscritters in 2018. Seems like they begged to differ with your assessment.

Young liberals tend to grow conservative once they have families and become more responsible.
The old folks you're talking about were teenagers in the 60's and quite liberal back then.
What I don't get is why democrats want to see Trump removed from office when everyone in the media agrees that Trump has zero change of winning in 2020 even losing to Maxine Waters?
Well, if you believe the polls anyway.
Polls no longer work because a growing number of people, me included, will give pollsters a 100% wrong answer whenever I am asked. If a pollster asked me if I supported Trump's removal from office I would strongly support removal. Anything to screw them up.
