I see a lot of things in play for the mid-terms. But, as I see it, one of the largest factors that led to Trump winning was the fact of how many Democrats stayed home for the last presidential election.
Something I don't think we will see in the mid term election.
While I never liked the Clinton's, I did not stay home.
It does go to show a long term approach to demonizing opponents is a fair strategy. I have seen it on both sides but the right seems to be better at it. It's to bad nobody sees it for what it is.

The Democrats will have a healthy majority in the House and the Senate may be SPLIT. But when you have control of spending...."You have control of anything that gets done"
But not having control of the Senate means anything can be blocked.

So this leaves us with a very interesting situation....
One which will unlikely produce any legislation since Trump will likely not vote for stuff even his own party generates and a lot of 'vote grandstanding' (think repeal Obamacare 57 times) that makes headlines for their respective bases, but NO ACTIONS WHATSOEVER !
So we will be in a stalemate for the next 2 years. And no bad legislation will be reversed.

But I want you all to think about the 'REAL ID' play that will take effect before the next Presidential election. The real vote limiter that does not seem to be on anyone's radar right now.
Sure you can get your drivers license / state ID easy enough if you can get a copy of your Birth Certificate required to get it as easy.... Potential there for many states to limit the next vote.
Don't wait... get it now !
My drivers license does not expire until more than 30 days after the election in 2020 but if I don't have the 'REALID' version, I can't vote.
