Lamb Victory Shows Democrats In a "Commanding Position" to Take House in 2018
Seems true -- it's not just bad luck that Republicans keep losing these off-year contests.
The Democrats are unified and energized, and Republicans are bitterly divided, with one faction actively assisting the Democrats.
Suburban women in particular are anti-Trump -- which is a major problem. The GOP once depended on at least splitting suburban women with Democrats to keep Democrats from winning women as a whole something better than 80-20.
Not only does the GOP's agenda traditionally appeal more to men, and less to women, but I think Trump is a big problem for women who consider themselves upscale and college-educated, too. (Consider themselves.) If Hillary Clinton reminded men of their first ex-wife, then Trump tends to remind women of their first ex-husband.
