The Biden’s Don’t even Know How Many Grandkids They Have.

Not too bad. The Republicans picked up seats in the Senate. Obama lost both chambers. Originally Posted by bambino

Yes, 2010 was a huge loss for Democrats. And 2018 was a huge loss for Republicans.

The 2020 Senate elections favor Democrats. I predict a Senate gain of at least 1 for the Democrats. What is your prediction?

how did all those polls work out for Hillary on election day?

Polls in 2018 midterms were near perfect in both the House and Senate predictions.

Again, you seem to forget how razor thin Trump's victory was in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida. NH was the only state Clinton lost by such a close margin.

I realize that Trump supporters have very little positive to point to regarding his reelection odds at this point in time. It may certainly change. I love it when Trump is in front of the cameras, as he was yesterday, and refers to Biden as "Sleepy Joe". A few more votes lost by those undecided voters who do not like such statements.

Doesn’t take into account motivation to vote. Most Trump supporters are ready to crawl over broken glass to vote. Biden’s support is pretty meh, double meh for young people and triple for the Bernouts. Originally Posted by Jacuzzme

and yet Biden leads Trump by 8 points today. imagine the drubbing if the Democrats put up a good candidate. Originally Posted by Chung Tran

I'm not a Biden fan, but let's try to be fair and reasonable, okay?

To be more specific, review some of the endorsements given to Trump by the evangelical pastors and other Bible thumper types. Plenty of rubes have talked about God sending Trump to "save" America.

I cringe when I read their fellatial flattery.

I differ with you on the 2018 being a "huge" loss for Republicans. It was about an average loss for a first term POTUS in their mid-term.

Senate seats are rarely picked up during those types of mid-terms and Trump managed it.

The House seat loss was on the roughly average side.

The governor flips was on average normal and so were the legislature seats.

At the end of the day. Republicans still had the POTUS obviously, The Senate by a greater margin, and majorities in a far larger number of State and Local governments than Democrats.

Obama in 2010 had nearly historic losses across the board.

Not a good comparison when using the word "huge".

President Trump is gaining more support every day because the Democrats seem to be hell bent on nominating a candidate who is one step away from drooling in public.

Are you as sure on Trump winning the race as you were in 2018 that Republicans would hold the House?

"Democrats won the House with the largest midterms margin of all time

Democrats took control of the House this year with the largest midterms margin of victory in history, surpassing the previous record of 8.7 million votes in 1974, according to NBC News election data."

"Make No Mistake, the Midterm Elections Were a Democratic Victory and a Rebuke of Trump"

In my opinion, the 2018 midterms were a "huge" victory for Democrats. The average loss in midtem elections since WWII is 26 House seats and 4 Senate seats. In 2018 the Senate races were heavily weighted against the Democrats so the Republicans picking up 2 seats, as opposed to the 1 I predicted, was totally expected. With the Republicans having to defend far more Senate seats in 2020 than Democrats, it looks likely that Democrats will pick up seats even if Trump is reelected.

Thank you sir for the compliment.

But for 2018, I think we just need to agree to disagree.

The house often swings in the midterm of the first term Potus. It did again. Nothing else majorly changed other than some state flips which also happens during mid-terms.

The popular vote means very little in the end, as can be seen by your reporting of the House margin of victory and then comparing the same to the Senate margin of victory. Dems had supposedly this popular vote record mandate, but didn't pick up anywhere near a record number of House seats. They had a similar popular record vote mandate in the Senate and lost seats. So overall national popular vote is not a good indicator of much of anything.

At the end of the day in 2018, the Dems picked up some momentum, which is rather normal for party not holding the POTUS, but it was far from "huge", in again my opinion.
