If Trump attempts to suspend elections in November 2018, what will happen?
It’s anybody’s guess. Trump and Trumpism have undermined the rule of law and our democratic values. Wittes and Rauch, two conservative senior fellows at the Brookings Institution, one Republican and one a Republican who leans Libertarian, are so worried about Trump and Trumpism’s effect on our republic that they advise their fellow Republicans to “vote Democratic down to dogcatcher” in their article in the March 2018 Atlantic, “Boycott the GOP.” They say that the Republican Party deserves “a bloody nose” for supporting Trump and his scofflaw approach to governing, which involves very little governing and a lot of tweeting about “fake news” (which is anything unfavorable to him), how great authoritarianism is (“the only person who matters is me,” he said), and how he demands complete loyalty from everyone surrounding him but he owes loyalty to no one but himself and his interests.
What is the most likely result of the November 2018 midterm elections?
Looks like Democrats are going to take a major portion of the seatsRepublicans are running a disinformation effort right now to make it seem like democrats have no hope but MATH shows that isn't the case. So, far Democrats have seen sweeping victories in house and Senate seats. If the trend continues we will indeed be looking at a blue wave.This terrifies the Republican snowflakes.
How strong will the Red Wave be in 2018 midterm elections?
I strongly doubt there will be a red wave. Whether or not there is a blue wave depends a great deal on whether Trump is smart enough to ride the good economy until November. This trade war nonsense is likely to cost him votes among farmers and non-farmers whose jobs are directly associated with the farms.Of course, if the economy suffers a significant correction for whatever reason before November, the GOP is going to own it. They’ll try to wriggle out of ownership, of course. After all this time of claiming credit for the current state of the economy, Trump & Co. will nonetheless try to pin any downturn on weaknesses inherited from Obama. The Trump base will believe him. But the 2/3 of the electorate who are not Trump supporters probably will not.The trade war nevertheless represents a big unknown. How badly will US exports get hurt? Will the POTUS relent if he sees the problem, or will he double down? It will be interesting to see this one develop.
Will there be a red wave or blue wave this election cycle?
You hear anchors talk about midterms not going well for the president's party. It is important to talk about how historical it is. Since the civil war, only 3 midterm elections out of 40ish have benefited the party in power.Most recently in 2002, following 9/11. Bush had an approval rating in the 60sThen in 1998, and Clinton had an approval rating of around 64.1934 During the great depression in FDR's new deal era.Going into this President Trump has an approval rating almost half that of Bush and Clinton.However, this is not a normal election. This is the first midterm with A republican in the white house using the 2010 maps. In 2010 the congressional maps became heavily gerrymandered in favor of Republicans. Democrats need to overcome that.Additionally, the Senate map does not favor the Democrats either. 10 democrats are up for reelection in states trump won. 9 Republicans are up for reelection.If I had to bet, I would say Democrats take the house by a slim margin but not the Senate. This would mean a blue wave on governorships and state legislatures.Final answer: Blue wave.
Will the voters of each state decide who wins the election in november or does the electoral college decide?
The voters of each state will decide who the electorates are and then the electorates will decide the president. Just like every other year.
What will happen if Democrats win the midterm elections by a landslide on November 6, 2018? How much power will Trump lose?
If land slide by democrats: stock market crashes, businesses stop hiring and move jobs to foreign countries, unemployment rate increases, pension funds- 401k's - IRA's - all retirement accounts drop and people must work longer, wages will decrease again, causes social security to run out faster than estimated (pre-2030). they'll try to eliminate tax breaks and pro-growth legislation. Might even reinstate many of the anti-growth regulations that President Trump got rid of (e.g. Frank Dodd Act), ease up on illegal immigration........pretty much nothing good!
