I will use myself as an example. If I got polled today... I would not say I would vote for Trump I would not say I approve of the job he is doing. But, I can't vote for a marxist so I am likely a Trump vote if he wins in the primary even though I would prefer a candidate that would pull concessions towards lower taxes and freedom out of the establishment democrats and republicans. There are probably 10 million voters just like me.
Thanks for submitting more evidence that you are a complete and utter failure at basic math. On an historical basis for the minority party in the mid-term elections the Democratic performance in the 2018 House elections is average; the Democratic performance in the 2018 Senate elections is greatly below average. Trying to pump up the Democratic results as a fortuitous preview of the 2020 election for Democrats is a very poor partisan interpretation of the results. The opposite is actually true - the 2018 results show the Democratic party has a long hard path ahead for the 2020 election.
The first part of Democrats having any future success in 2020 is admitting to yourselves that 2018 was basically a failure for the party. While gains were made in the U.S. House the performance was merely historically average. The Republican party gained seats in the Senate. Across the nation in state & local races Democrats under-performed in the 2018 election. Pumping the total numbers of people who voted Democratic based on the large numbers of voters in large Democratic states like California is meaningless on a national basis.
I thought you understood gerrymandering and alternating favorable Senate maps but I must be wrong.I suggest you look into those 2 subjects.
Obama 2008 votes-69 million Republicans 2010 house votes-44 million Trump 2016 votes-63 million Democrats 2018 house votes-61 million
So how can you gerrymander Senate maps? Senators are elected on a state-wide basis. This is a good time to note that there are many Democratic states such as Maryland, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Nevada, Oregon, California, Illinois, Massachusetts and others that are gerrymandered -- yet you conveniently ignore this reality. Democrats Hate Gerrymandering—Except When They Get to Do It In Maryland, New Mexico, and elsewhere, Democrats are just as guilty as the Republicans are in other states—which tells us that the real problem is deeper. https://www.thedailybeast.com/democrats-hate-gerrymanderingexcept-when-they-get-to-do-it
Obviously I was referring to the house portion of your post.As far as the senate, democrats won twice as many races and got 18 million more votes.
