Democrats poised to lose more in 2018

Not surprising, because they refuse to give up Republican ideas while pretending to be progressive. Republican voters prefer real Republicans to these corporate Democrats. This article lays it out well.

"The House and Senate will remain in Republican control after the 2018 midterm elections. This strategy in running Republican-lite candidates failed earlier this year in the Georgia congressional special election, where Jon Ossoff lost to Karen Handel despite a record amount of money poured into his campaign."

"The Democratic Party’s agenda was hijacked by the blue dog coalition, who sided with Republicans to shift any policy victories toward the center. Rahm Emanuel, who presided over the DCCC in 2006, is consulting current DCCC leaders on how to preserve the party’s status quo in the 2018 midterm elections by ignoring progressive populist candidates like they did earlier this year in Kansas and Montana special elections in favor of establishment ones."
