The Hill put out an article explaining why it was likely that the Democrats would pickup seats in the Senate in November. The article was based solely upon a statistical analysis of what has happened in the last ten mid term elections. It's a joke. The historical record certainly provides a sort of background analysis for the upcoming elections, but it hardly is predictive of what will happen. For example, are there voters in New Jersey who will say "I don't like Bob Menendez because he's a crook, but I'm going to vote for him anyway because in the last ten elections other voters chose the party that doesn't hold the White House."
I know that overstates the point, but not by much. The elections in November will be decided by voters who will choose based upon the candidates actually running. Sure, there will be some effect from voters' perceptions of President Trump, but there's no way to know yet how that will cut.
Another silly argument of the day comes from the Democrats in Congress who talk and talk and talk. Senators like Blumenthal and Murphy from my own state say things like "president Trump's recent trip was the worst by any president in modern times." (I'm not making that up.) The Democrats (and their media allies) ignore reality and the actual facts and just lie and lie and lie. We're not getting rational argument from them. Instead they spew all hate all the time. It's sort of funny that they constantly accuse Trump of hating this group or that when the only real hatred towards a group that is currently being manifested in our politics is the hatred by the left of anyone who actually supports the GOP or conservatism.
