president or ciccone. when you have a 20 point swing in less than two years, that is not because you had a weak candidate. what was the candidate s claim to fame. he said he was trump before trump. the president is the dominant factor in our politics. he is what everything revolves around. midterm elections are always a statement about the president. always a referendum on the president, most presidents lose obviously in their first midterm. what we re looking at with these numbers is a wave forming out there, and the last thing that was said there about the margin of the swing is much much more important than who wins or loses. i mean, if every house race in the country swung 20 points toward the democrats, obviously
