So based on that, it looks like there might be a blue wave?

2018-01-13 01:41:18 UTC  

yes, but again, it can be minimized

2018-01-13 02:53:00 UTC  

What makes the midterms flip to the opposite party of the President that was elected before it?

2018-01-13 02:57:31 UTC  

midterms are seen as referendums on the ruling party

2018-01-13 02:58:09 UTC  

the opposition party usually has higher turnout because their voters are motivated to stop the ruling party's agenda

I have read that the Libertarians caused the Democrat Pickup in 2016

2018-02-01 00:33:38 UTC  

Which Democrat pickup?

2018-02-01 00:34:08 UTC  

Trump probably would have won in New Hampshire and Nevada were it not for the Libertarians

2018-02-01 00:34:16 UTC  

he also could have won Minnesota

2018-02-01 00:34:18 UTC  

I doubt that

2018-02-01 00:34:51 UTC  

The type of people who voted for gary weren't potential MAGA guys, I can tell you that.

2018-02-01 00:38:00 UTC  

why not ?

2018-02-01 00:38:12 UTC  

Trump has libertarian appeal
