Stop being for big business and become a party for the working class and those who are suffering poverty. Stop with identity politics.

Stop with the identity politics

Historically, the president's party as almost always lost seats at the midterm election.

Hopefully they'll get wiped out for all of their obstruction

Pretty good darn video for 1:19! The man in the video is right, if Trump has a successful presidency Dems will have trouble holding on to what they have in the Congress. More over, we may even see some independent people winning. I think Trump did so well because he wasn't the same old, same old running!

Would like to see a gubernatorial version of this.

I'm just here for the perfect thumbnail

Well corporations are coming back and economy is up ...

[amosroger]

I am going with Travis Allen for California governor

This format is sub par and should be extended to 3 minutes. as in the case of this video it should visit a bit more in depth about those Senate Seats (known R contenders), the House, and possible outcomes of Trump Presidency (economy, law, society). Plus a three minute talk can better introduce the speaker to the audience for future talks they may do. Maybe give it somewhat corny name like "180 on the Issues".

The reason people move from high tax states: .... Well, the Democrats rules apply there and it says it all !!!

VOTE "NO"" ON DEMOCRAT SENATE or CONGRESS for Midterm 2018.

[VotelessOrc]

As a conservative Im very interested as to what is gonna happen, Im obviously pulling for the right however Im looking forward for how it plays out, and its fine if the left wins the mid terms, one thing about politics, they always change, and so do the positions. =3

In the comments below, Luke Zuzga suggested that it appears the Democratic Party's primary emphasis is not on the American worker & jobs but on hot social issues that revolve around specific types of communities: the LBGT community, immigrants, extremists, abortionists, and more. In addition to Zuzga's list, I would add two more types of communities that the Democratic Party is counting on for financial support and votes: First, old school Democrats in their 50's-plus who don't realize their Party was hijacked by "Progressives" that no longer identify with the average working class American. Second, young people too ignorant to know the difference between an old school Democrat & a Progressive. My family is from old school Democratic roots & it appears that they don't realize what their party has become. I am a former Democrat & now registered Independent who with cautious optimism voted for Trump. I believe that Zuzga's comment is on point & old school Democrats and/or younger Democrats should consider abandoning the Progressives & starting a third party. Doug Bishop Flaherty, KY Sends

CALIFORNIA GET OUT VOTE RED NOVEMBER 6. JOHN COX FOR GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA. VOTE THE DEMOCRAT OUT.

[Chaosmage]

I have to say that your not thinking of all the elements in play local government seats are up as with the special elections being heavily democrats i have a feeling we could see a wave election and your only bring up the negative side. Also trump is uniformly unsuccessful and the only things hes done have been seen as terrible for the country

[craigkdillon]

LOL...the world has changed in 9 months.

[Charlton_Kekston]

God Bless President Trump and Praise Kek!

[lucabennito]

I completely disagree. Dems are guarenteed the house and we'll see about the senate
