Why do you make up stupid shit like that and pretend it is real. The Republicunts are going to bring the economy down. The same one Obama fixed and handed off to daffy Donald.

???....seriously, you don't think its real?.......then if all demmycrats are like you I need to uptick my prediction....... you idiots will lose a lot of seats in the House......
At least Trump ended net neutrality like he promised. trump has kept his promises. I guess PP cares nothing about the debt which trump cranked up a couple trillion. That is economic genius in Trumpland.
American taxes are actually quite low. We are not overtaxed. But simple little people want to pay nothing. Trump avoids taxes. It is not like he gets and benefits from tax payers and the government.

"Since the Civil War, the president’s party has lost ground in 36 of 39 midterms, with an average loss of 33 seats. In the shorter time frame of the post-World War II era, the president’s party has lost an average of 26 seats per midterm. The Democrats need to net 23 seats to win the House."
Damned funny stuff. So will Cartoon Kenny's head explode when it turns out to be a ripple? 
Do you have any predictions of your own?
I think the Republicans will lose some seats in the House but maintain the majority and will also still control the Senate. They are more likely to lose the House than Senate.
One thing which might help the Republicans is that presidents lose seats in midterms because the winning president gained seats in the presidential election. These "extra" seats are the ones lost in mid-terms. Trump actually lost seats in 2016 so he has less "extra" seats to lose. But I think it all comes down to how well the Democrats turn out their voters because we know the Trump supporters will vote.
The losing side will blame cheating, rigged elections, voter suppression, illegal aliens voting..........I don't think Democrats winning the House will change much. Trump has not done much legislating and presidential support in Congress declines over time since his party loses seats in mid-terms.
Somebody has been reading Marx, again.
Being observant. Wealth gap is worse than the Gilded Age. The rich are getting richer and more powerful very rapidly Trump has no intention of slowing that down.

Yes, the Wall Street/donor/"job creator" class always does well; by design. The Dems are corporatists just like the "other party" so that's a wash. They (dems/reps) compete to serve the aristocracy, and the economic system was rerigged in the early 1970's divorcing the increases in worker productivity from worker compensation. If "either" party had ever had any issues with that they would have acted long before now.
You partisashitheads just need to be kept quibbling amongst yourselves so the charade may continue unabated.
You don't get this information from being observant.
and reading.https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/26/income-inequality_n_1032632.html It is obvious that the Repubs want that since they voted for a plutocrat for president,

watermark does it better
No such thing as red wave
The GOP will pick up additional seats in the Senate, demographically they can't help to given the Democrats are defending twenty four seats
The House may flip or come close to flip, either way neither party will have a solid majority, meaning if they hope to pass anything it would have to be nonpartisan
And all that is of today, given the time, Donald could lay any number of eggs inbetween now and then, even five months is an eternity in politics
I'd say best-case scenario for the GOP is the Democrats take about 30 seats in the House, maybe gain a seat in the Senate, and gain 500 combined state legislature seats and governorships.
I think the realistic scenario is a GOP loss of about 75-85 seats in the House, 3-4 seats in the Senate, most all the governor's races, and probably 750-800 state legislative seats.
Best-case Democratic scenario would be the GOP losing 100+ House seats, most all the senate races, and 1000 combined state legislative seats and governorships. And it's not inconceivable that it could happen that way given how the GOP has backed Trump and stirred up the Democratic base.
I figured you for a Mother Jones guy.
