Interesting. If FOX is predicting a win for the Democrats then things must be really grim for the GOP, especially considering that FOX tends to put a positive spin on polls in favour of the GOP. The really telling part of the poll was the number of Democrat vs GOP voters who are likely to show up at the polls. Potential voter turnout heavily favours the Democrats. Is that because many GOP voters are disaffected with Trump or just mid-term laziness?

I have to think many traditional republicans who held their nose and voted for Trump in 2016 are not willing to do it again.

The last 2 years has been a shitshow and everyone but the white nattys are fed up with it.

Paul Ryan warns that if Dems win, they'll hold Trump accountable

The article noted, among other things, that GOP leaders have tried to impress upon the president "just how bruising this November could be for Republicans -- and how high the stakes are for Mr. Trump personally, given that a Democratic-controlled Congress could pursue aggressive investigations and even impeachment."

It's a fair point to emphasize, but there's something cynical at the root of the observation: Republican lawmakers have effectively told the Republican president that they've looked the other way on Trump's scandals and misdeeds, ignoring their oversight responsibilities and undermining the entire idea of checks and balances, but Democrats won't.



House Speaker Paul Ryan warned that Democratic gains in November's congressional elections could make it impossible to get anything accomplished and expose President Donald Trump's administration to more aggressive oversight.

Should Republicans lose control of either the House or Senate, "you'll have gridlock, you'll have subpoenas," with the whole legislative system "shutting down," Ryan said Wednesday in Beverly Hills, California, at the annual Milken Institute Global Conference.

Paul Ryan better hope that they don't hold the GOP accountable.
