Dems should easily retake control of the House. The Senate will be much harder as they need 4 seats. Maine and North Carolina are the most likely pickups. But what is after that? Ohio, Iowa, Texas? |
Texas is persistent fool's gold. I've been hearing that Texas is "purple" or going to turn blue for 15 years now, only for Ted Cruz - a cowardly weasel who displays naked contempt for his constituents - to win by margins of 1 million votes. I'm actually rooting for Cornyn not to get primaried next year, because Paxton is one of the worst human beings in Texas, which is saying something.
Susan Collins, likewise, keeps getting re-elected despite being objectively awful.
Democrats should honestly work on places like Alaska as well, and consolidate in Arizona. We have two blue senators in Arizona. We had five Democratic members of Congress out of 9, but then gerrymandering by a Republican governor and very slim Republican majorities in the legislature wiped out two of those seats.
