its true. for all the jabbering of a popular vote win by hilary, it was 1% nationally, & under 1% difference in key swing states.
point is though, its not a slam dunk that the dems party in 18. the trend of a blowback vote is there. but another factoid not well discussed is the dem turnout is bad in mid-terms. the GOP's gains in 10, 14, have a lot to do with talk radio, & people with jobs sitting in their commutes who are solid voters. more solid then the dem coalitions when theres no president to vote for.
& when you see the dems are re-electing the same old same old, things are gonna be a mess for the dem base in 18. #demexit looks like the left wing tea party brewing.
