Midterms

House and Senate Republicans have morphed into Trump acolytes and toadies—intimidated, spineless, opportunistic.

There was no evidence to suggest that Democrats want to turn the U.S. into Venezuela, or that large numbers of Democrats would vote Republican.

Polls last month had offered a major boost to Beto O'Rourke's hopes, but that was before the Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination fight.

"I've been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now."

"We will never surrender American sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable global bureaucracy. America is governed by Americans," Trump said during a U.N. speech last week.

The poll is less than encouraging news for Republicans ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.

President Donald Trump and his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh have faced multiple accusations of sexual misconduct.

"Our incredible array of candidates up and down the ticket, all across the country, make up a movement of citizens who are younger, more diverse, more female than ever before," said President Barack Obama.

Recent polls showed that standing by Brett Kavanaugh had damaged President Donald Trump's approval rating among women.

President Donald Trump said that he believed his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, but could be convinced otherwise by testimony during Thursday's Senate hearing.

"It's just going to be chaos," Kevin McCarthy said.

"The race for the Senate is through red, rural America in states like Montana, North Dakota, and West Virginia."

"The Midwest is an area that is getting restless about what they hoped was going to occur," the director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion said.

"It's always tempting for politicians, for their own gain and for people in power, to try to see if they can divide people," Obama said.

They warned those in attendance that bad candidates and a lack of energy compared to Democratic voters could result in a large number of losses for Republicans come the November midterm elections.

The former president used his first public speech in a while to warn of what he called a serious problem within the Republican Party. 

"This election, you aren't just voting for a candidate. You're voting for which party controls Congress. A very important thing. Very important thing," Trump said.

"...the GOP looks like the America of 1950. The motto of the Republican Party should be: diversify or die," said Brad Bannon, a Democratic political analyst.

The ads are depicting Democratic candidates as "dangerous and outside the mainstream."

"If Russia or other countries are planning to disrupt the 2018 election, they're probably already in our computer systems just waiting for the order to pull the trigger," a computer science professor told Newsweek.

The Bernie Sanders-backed progressive pitched himself as an outsider who must fight decades of "muscle memory" around what a governor nominee is supposed to look like.

We live in a culture that is increasingly accommodating of those who want to suppress unpopular opinions.

Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum is one step closer to becoming Florida's first black governor after a major upset in the state's gubernatorial primary.
