There are very positives signs for the GOP and the coming election cycle.

According to the Daily Wire,  a Left leaning publication,  we have the Dems paying dearly for their lies regarding Trump calling immigrants "animals."  By now,  everyone knows that he was talking about MS 13.  Cost to the Dems for this lie?  

"A new poll released on Monday from a left-leaning news publication showed that the Democrats are paying dearly for their disastrous week last week where they lied about President Donald Trump's comments regarding violent MS-13 gang members.
The Reuters Poll revealed that the double-digit lead that the Democrats held over Republicans last month in generic ballot voting for the 2018 midterms among registered voters is now completely gone as Republicans have opened up a six-point lead over the Democrats."

Understand that in a typical midterm election following a national election,  the incumbent party  (the GOP in this case) loses30/40 House seats,  on average.  Clinton lost 53 in his first midterm,  Barack lost 64. 

If the coming midterm is "typical,"  the Dems should be 20 points up on the Generic Ballot,  but such is not the case,  not even close.  

Turns out that a vital aspect in the Dems strategy to take back the House,  is California.  That state is markely "Blue."  The Dems are hoping to win all House seats held by the GOP.  Problem:  If John Cox gets on the ballot Governor  (and he is ahead of the 2nd place Democrat),  Republicans turnout will increase for that reason alone.  Add to that,  the fact that the State is having a civil war, of sorts,  over Gov Browns decision to trash ICE,  preventing it from enforcing Federal law.   This has energized the conservative vote  (whether GOP or moderate Democrats), making it most difficult 

Understand that if the Dems cannot win back the House,  in an election cycle that favors them, historically,  that party will imploded.  They lost the 2010  midterms in historic fashion.  Ditto the 2014 midterms  -  the most one sided midterm defeat in American history.  As regards the national elections,  Barack won the 2012 cycle,  of course, but gave up 3.5 million votes compared to the 2008 election cycle.  Then,  of course,  the 2016 national election went to the GOP.  

Nothing is written in stone, of course,  but that "blue wave" election  the chattering Dems talk about  just might be a low tide election cycle.  Time will tell.
