Why don't you compare the number of seats won in 2010 to the number of seats won in 1818 and draw wild conclusions based on that
Anyone who has studied political science understands the popular voter is critical to a governing party to institute its agenda. As we all have witnessed the republicans and Trump ran into a brick wall with their agenda because they don’t have the support of the majority of Americans. They are unpopular and their agenda is not inline with the majority of Americans. This coming congress is actually a better fit for the will of the people and if political science tells us anything it’s that this congress will actually be productive. However, Trump does create an X factor with all of the indictments and investigations surrounding his administration. He certainly has the power to nose dive the country.
The Cook Political Report shows that the Democratic lead in the U.S. House popular vote for the 2018 midterms is now up to 8.5%. Steve Benen: “For comparison purposes, note that in 2010 – which was widely seen as a GOP ‘wave’ cycle – Republicans won the U.S. House popular vote by 6.6%. In 1994, which was seen as a Republican ‘revolution,’ the GOP won the U.S. House popular vote by 7.1%.”
