Can Democrats win congress in 2018?

[yankeefan7]

Harder to accomplish in the House but stranger things have happened and opposing party of the President usually loses seats in the mid term. The numbers for Democrats are better in the Senate but they are defending more Senate seats than Republicans in 2018. The 2016 election is where the Democrats needed to take it back because Republicans had more seats to defend but in the end did not lose many.

While some people calling him Grinch, Chuck Schumer seems to get it.  Instead of the PalTin-foil-Hat wing of Party with all their conspiracies and fingerpoints... Blaming Racist Whites then Voter Fraud then White Women then WikiLeaks then Comey, then Fake News then Electoral College and the latest try, The Russians. He sees that it is his party message that was bad, or at least did not get out. This is good first step to correcting the 8 year loss of Democrat power.

Dem boss Schumer fires staffers after November rout

With Christmas days away, nearly every member of the Senate Democratic Media Center has been fired, a senior Democratic aide confirmed to Fox News. Schumer swung the axe on Friday, according to Politico, which first obtained “goodbye” emails from staffers, including some with decades' experience.

The move comes amid plans to revamp the unit, which handles video content, in an effort to help the Senate Democratic caucus get their message out in the New Year. The party not only lost the presidential race, it failed to capture the Senate or House and lost state legislative races throughout the country.

and all of those things didn't contribute to losing the white house? please. Petra, get outta here you republican hack.

Fake manufactured. They keep trying different reasons when that doesnt stick they try another. I agree with Bill Mahr.  Its time to look inside, not point fingers and too much Elitism.  They made middle class  and those not in California and NE feel like they didnt matter.

When did Bill say that? Plus sexism was very much a part of this election. White men don't want to see a women be president.

Literally nobody voted against Hillary because she is a woman. Literally nobody went to the polls, looked at her name, and said, "She's a woman, so nah." Voters saw her name on the ballot, recognized that she was a terrible candidate, and voted in their best interests. The sexist argument is outdated and dull.

Concierge, sexism did play a major role in this election. You cannot sit there and not accept the multiple speeches Trump made to his thousands of supporters that were so full of hate and so anti-woman and Hillary, did not affect the outcome of the election. Open your eyes

Trump's going to be the 44th man in a row to be president, against zero women. That's not just a coincidence. Until that changes, it's hard to argue that gender plays no role in who becomes president.

(By the way, I tend to think you're right that Clinton was a terrible candidate, but there is no way any rational person could have concluded that Trump was less terrible.)

 

[Kinky Boy]

she wasn't a terrible candidate. She was the only one who actually had real policies, and new what she was talking about. The problem was that it was a change election. Its just so difficult in this country to get a 3rd term in the white house historically, especially when most people think that we're going in the wrong direction, among other factors. If you think Sanders would have won, you are kidding yourselves. 

[South Florida]

I think Biden could have won easily.

[Kinky Boy]

"people voted in their best interests"

you mean all the rural voters who turned out in droves are gonna benefit by Trumps massive tax cut for the elites at the expense of working people? please. he's going to hurt the very people that turned out in droves for him. The dems will be vindicated very soon after he takes office, and people see all the elitist things he's going to do. Plus there will be no draining of the swamp because he is the swamp. what a joke.

As far as Biden goes, I'm really not sure. I think rural America also voted for Trump to keep their white supremacy frankly.

Did you literally survey every voter? Are you literally that stupid to believe nobody voted for the Cheeto simply because he's a man? Only children use "literally" in every sentence, which I guess makes you a child. Literally.
