The Democratic geographic disadvantage is so severe that it gives the Republicans a chance to survive a so-called wave election, like the 1994, 2006 and 2010 elections that flipped control of the House.
National polls continue to show all of the conditions for a wave in place. The president’s approval rating is in the low 40s. It’s a midterm election year, when the president’s party usually takes big losses. Democrats lead on the generic ballot by eight to nine points. These indicators have remained relatively stable throughout the Justice Kavanaugh controversy, but the president’s approval rating has ticked up, most likely in the conservative areas where Republicans show newfound strength.
And if Republicans can take advantage of their underlying geographic advantages, they can hold down their losses and gain seats in the Senate, even in a Democratic wave.
The playing field is most favorable to Republicans in the Senate: They would be all but assured to retain control if they won just three of seven competitive seats where Donald J. Trump won by at least nine points in 2016. Recent polls, including those by The New York Times Upshot/Siena College, show Republicans ahead in at least the three they need — North Dakota, Tennessee and Texas — and there are rumblings that private polls show Democrats more vulnerable in several of the rest.
The House of Representatives is also stacked against Democrats because of partisan gerrymandering and the tendency for Democrats to win by lopsided margins in urban areas — and thus “waste” votes. But the House picture is not so bleak for Democrats because Republicans are defending 25 seats that Hillary Clinton won in 2016 and many more districts that Mr. Trump won narrowly.

That whole article is magnificent. Even when they are forced to admit they are losing they still cry about how unfair everything is.

They dont admit to losing, they are just covering their asses in case they do. They could repeat 2016 and they know it. They want excuses.Speaker to Animals wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 4:40 amThat whole article is magnificent.

No, they NEED excuses in case they don't win. Anything to point anyplace but their own bad decisions.
That's what politics is.
