Meaningless numbers. In actuality Republicans right now are poised to gain 1 to 3 seats in the Senate and a close hold of the House looking at real polls using real people in real places.
It should be more than that. There are 10 Dem Senate seats up for election in states that Trump won.

Indy, if the Republicans hold the house and gain in the Senate, that would be a monumental feat. In nearly every midterm election, the party holding the Presidency loses midterm seats - as many as 63 by the Dems as recently as 2010, Bammy's first mid-term election.
In 2006, Republicans lost 31 House seats and 6 Senate seats. In 1994, the Democrats lost 54 seats in the House and 9 in the Senate.
The only recent midterm election where the party holding the Executive branch did well was 2002, but that result was triggered more by 9/11 than anything else.
If in fact, the Republicans maintain the House and add to the Senate, that would be a remarkable rebuke of the (D)umbass party.

Dems mull whether Warren is the one to take on Trump
Can Elizabeth Warren win back blue-collar Democrats from President Trump in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania?
It’s a question many Democrats are pondering as Warren — one of the leading contenders for her party’s presidential nomination, if she chooses to run in 2020 — goes back and forth with the president over immigration and other issues.
Warren (D-Mass.) has shown an ability to rally and excite progressives, she’s a proven fundraiser and she has policy bona fides from her work in the Senate. Yet there are creeping doubts among some Democrats that she’s the best candidate to take on Trump.
Some worry the former Harvard professor will have a tough time winning back the Rust Belt centrists and independents who abandoned Hillary Clinton and Democrats for Trump.
“I just can’t see a blue-collar, Rust Belt guy voting for her,” said one Democratic strategist who has worked on presidential campaigns. “I think the party needs to be realistic about that.”
Some Democrats almost certainly remain shellshocked from the last election after Trump’s surprise win. He became the first Republican to win the states of Pennsylvania and Michigan in a presidential election since 1988 and the first Republican to win Wisconsin since President Reagan in 1984.
If Democrats don’t retake those states in 2020, their chances of winning the Electoral College will fall.
Teeth-gnashing over who is best-positioned to take on Trump, as a result, is already taking place ahead of the midterm elections.

Agreed, but the Dems are very vulnerable right now because they are so batshit out of their minds.

Jesus, Trump would tear her down to a quivering lump in about 5 seconds. There is so much ammunition already on the table with these current Democrats he won't even have to try all that hard.
What happened to the Peach Pie, Elfie? You were certain it was being served.
True, but another way of looking at is that democRATS don't become bat **** out of their minds...those that are bat **** out of their minds become democRATS.

And what makes no sense at all is the fact that centrist Democrats can win national office - Bill Clinton, JFK, Harry Truman. Democrats who valued economic growth, slowing taxation to allow the economy to grow, slowing government growth, managing Federal spending.
Not so long ago, a lot of Democrats supported all of the above. Now? The party leaders are becoming more and more fringe, left-wing, socialist, spend-until-we-drop nutbags.
Free college? Free healthcare? Free jobs? News alert - nothing is free. Just because I and other productive citizens pay for this **** and the beneficiaries of government largesse do not does NOT make the stuff free.
True, but this time around is gonna be different....it's in the cards!
Trump was supposed to get destroyed in the primaries and bow out early...it didn't happen.
Hillary was supposed to beat Trump in a landside...it didn't happen.

No way Warren runs. Trump is not Romney who will let her get away with claiming to be native American. He already calls her fauxcahontas. She would have to prove her heritage because Trump would never let it drop.
She'd get Swift Canoe'd by her past like John Kerry

The Dem nominee in 2020 will be someone nobody is even talking about currently.
These tariffs have the stock market wobbling. There still could be a negative event that takes place that really effects the midterms.

Um, the market over the last 2 days is up about 400 points, and inching towards 25,000 again.
Granted, there are always market swings, but wobbling is not a term I would use at the moment.
Tariffs took effect recently, and the market responded in a positive way.
There's a little knee-jerk dip this morning because of the new slap on China that was just announced, but it should correct and continue to improve.

Historically markets crash in October. I'm not predicting that is going to happen, but Trump seems to be playing with fire.
Also gas prices and inflation are heading up, gas could be around 3.50 some places before mid-terms. Higher gas prices
tend to make people feel grouchy.

Warren would win in a yuge landslide, a beatdown of epic proportion...in the Northeast, IL, and the west coast...and lose everywhere else. Be crushed by at least 150 electoral votes. The ***** Hat Brigade can console themselves that she won the popular vote.
Opec just agreed to up production again, we are a month or two from a rapid drop in oil once more... you do realize all these gas games are just artificial inflation by a collusion group of countries... if we wanted to tap oil reserves we could drop gas to a buck in a heartbeat... that would be a short term vengence move though, but you could break opec pretty easily

Oil is down and gas prices will be down a lot after they stop the summer blend well before Nov.

True, there will always be short term swings, however the market is up over 6,000 points since President Trump was elected, that number is not insignificant.
It's a shame there are those hoping for a crash, solely so they can say told you so.
Tidy up your safe spaces, libtards. It’s going to be a long and painful 6 years for you.

Love the quote from the DNC clown. "We don't have to match the Republicans' fundraising, we just have to raise enough to get our message out."
Okay. How much would that be?
"The amount the Republicans are raising."
