Historic Midterm for Democrats

  1. Likeable like a grandpa maybe. Problem is, people generally don't want their grandpa to be POTUS. The constant telling everybody the economy is great isn't helping either. He looks completely out of touch.

  2. Obama had a lot of enthusiasm. Hell, Hillary had even more enthusiasm than him (at least with women).

    The 'Red Wave' that wasn't: Experts explain how the polls got the midterm elections wrong
    On Tuesday, polls around the country seemed to predict a flood of Republicans to the polls that could net the GOP dozens of seats in the U.S House and Senate. The polls were wrong. Experts from both parties explain how it happened.

    People understand inflation is not a local problem and the job numbers do support his narrative.

  6. The majority of people are making less than last year in terms of real salaries/wages. Unemployment was already pretty low when Biden took over. A lot of jobs that came back were basically the ones lost in the pandemic and are low paying. It’s not like we’ve entered a new age of prosperity. People don’t want to hear the economy is great. It isn’t.

    David Graham: “To understand why Republicans are on course to barely capture control of the House of Representatives in precedent-defying midterm elections, a district all the way on the other side of the country from Washington, D.C., might be the best place to look.”

    “In Washington State’s Third District, the Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez was projected over the weekend to defeat Joe Kent, capturing a district that Republicans have held since 2010. Democrats have sought for years to flip the Third, repeatedly spending piles of money to defeat Representative Jaime Herrera Beutler. But what they were unable to achieve, the GOP achieved for them this year: A Trump-backed primary challenge unseated Herrera Beutler and paved the way for a Democratic takeover.”
