You are right, in that the midterms should be pretty wild. On the Republican side, I don't think we will see many real anti-establishment candidates, but we will likely see right wing establishment candidates Vs. more moderate establishment candidates. I won't be shocked if after the midterms the Republican party finds itself fractured and in a constant struggle between the moderates and the hardcore conservatives.
