(R-Ky.) says that November's midterm elections will be "challenging" for Republicans, but he can't yet predict the strength of the headwinds.
“This is going to be a challenging election year,” McConnell said in a Tuesday interview with Kentucky Today. “We know the wind is going to be in our face. We don’t know whether it’s going to be a Category 3, 4 or 5.”
McConnell said he’s optimistic his party can hold on to a majority in the Senate but the fight for the House, where every seat is up for election this year, will be more daunting.

Why would McConnell think this? We keep hearing about how wonderful Trump is, how this is the best economy in the history of our economies, the illegals are going to be kept at bay, we've pulled out of almost everything Obama got un into, we are building a big beautiful wall, Trump has virtually singlehandedly defeated ISIS, the kids protesting against gun violence in school have strengthened conservatives and gun owners, the Mueller investigation is nothing but a witch hunt against Trump, the Democrats and the FBI are completely corrupt and Trump was wonderful to point this all out....
So if all that is true, wouldn't we expect an overwhelming Republican blowout?

Fake news, evil Democrats, leftists who want to destroy the country. Take your pick.

Midterms typically go to the opposing party, so it is to be expected that the Dems will gain ground. No surprise. The blow-back during Obama's two mid-terms was huge, and I wonder if this fall the Dems will do as well.
Perhaps if McConnell passes the normal (12?) federal budget (appropriation?) bills before October (for the first time since 1997) then reoublicant congressional leadership just might gain a bit of respect.

Could be. But these GOP folks have really good gerrymandered bunkers to hide from the hurricane in. I think the dems will make big gains but I don't think the Dems will take majority this fall because of that unfortunately.

Run on a platform, claim you cannot do siad platform because we Need the House. Get the House, claim need the Senate. Get the Senate. Claim the WH needs a Republican... get the WH... then not do anything you claimed you'd do and make more excuses.
Wonder why mid-term went poorly.
Wash, rinse, repeat
The country has danced this dance before. Over and over and over again. Both parties.
The shame of this would be that McConnell will still be around.
Yep. It is generally not the base that's to blame, or even the average politicians, it's the leadership that screws it up
Given how ridiculously gerrymandered the House is in favor of Republicans and given that Democrats are defending significantly more Senate seats, and given that Democrats tend to struggle with turnout in mid-terms I'd say there is really no good excuse for Republicans to lose much ground unless there's a massive massive recoil against Trump.
The voters are not to blame. They're the honest arbiters in this process.
I agree. I don't like McConnell, but as a liberal I could hardly be expected to. It interests me that you, as a conservative, don't like him. Why is that?
