Democrats feel tide turning their way in battle to flip US Senate
— The electoral map does not favor Republicans and the pandemic has
helped put them on defense in states they once thought safe — Just
three months ago, centrist Democrats were panicking.
__________________________
"Panic" leads to depressed voter enthusiasm.
The electoral map never favored conservatives holding the Senate, but neither did the electoral map favor a Trump victory in 2016.
You should know that a conservative (in some measure) has won the White House 24 years (30 if Trump wins in 2020) since and including Reagan, versus 16 years for the Dems.
Under Barack, the Dems lost both houses of Congress, coming down from super majorities, 1200 seats of power in local and state governments, and dropped to 17 governors, down from 24 when Obama took office.
Barack took in 3 million less votes in 2012 compared to his 2008 victory.
Joe Biden garnered 68,000 prinmary votes in 2008 versus 18 million for both Hillary and, again Barack . . . in other words, he was not and has never been a popular Democrat Presidential candidate .
Indeed, we could lose the coming election, but the elctoral maps move in favor of the GOP beginnng with 2024.
Now you know.
