Time we had a discussion on the Mid Terms, hopefully without to much discussion about the President, unless he actually makes some comment on them.

Today House Speaker Paul Ryan announced his retirement. But he's not the only one this year, there are an unusually high number of retirees.
GOP - 25 House Republicans and three Republican senators
Democrats - nine House Democrats and zero Democratic senators

There is on average a 4% advantage for sitting incumbents, which will be thrown away. And if there is the usual swing away from the sitting Presidents party, in normal times it would not look good for the GOP.
Is there any chance the Trump effect can stop a Democratic landslide.

Most are long term incumbents from Republican Districts.

Many are losing their Committee Chairmen positions.

Unless the voters in these districts vote Democrat, which they haven't for decades...

The upcoming elections will be very interesting.


Trumped get Swamped by Swamp ;) ;)

at least I have always been consistent with myself. That's why I can go with my head up high.
And do not launch missiles in the desert to impress someone. And do not report the comments of other users even if they are in disagreement with their opinion.
