Why evidence points to a blue wave in November?

An article today predicted Dems would win the House but offered no reason why. So why would this be happening?

They're just trying to talk about it hoping the talk will grow and turn into an authentic movement so they can stop having to manufacture one (i.e. fake marches). They're confused at why it isn't catching on. They're hitting all the virtue signaling they normally hit but aren't getting the response they've become used to. The reason is because nobody can stand them. Their bag of tricks is empty and everyone's had it with their act.

That's all they have to run on and they are hoping Trump has alienated voters
In the meantime they will have spent 2 years alienating voters and all their voting secrets have been exposed.

The Dems platform is centered around the rights of illegal aliens....
Repeat that sentence slowly and then tell me we’re in for Blue Wave.

Because this is what usually happens to the party in power, they loose seats. As much as I’d like the dems to get their asses handed to them, historical trends favor them in the house. Perhaps 2018 will be different and I hope it will be.
This is the polling data from 2010 (when obama was pres).
And this is the polling data for 2018.

I think the RNC is going to throw the midterms. They don't really want Trump's agenda because they hate America.

Trump isn't popular outside those who identify as Republican, the midterms are typically bad for the party in power, libs energized to go vote, ect.
It's a reasonable hypothesis.

The people hate the President. Not enough of them, but enough to flip the house.

This is 100% accurate.
Well done

An increase in Unicorn sightings usually precedes Democratic electoral gains. And this has been a busy Unicorn season.

The mid term map favors the Dems for the house. Exact opposite in the senate where Rs hold a big advantage on the map

I will go on record, and say the House stays Red.
And the GOP claims a 53-47 Senate advantage.
Bookmark it sky screamers.

The midterm cliche falls apart under analysis. That’s because 1994 and 2010 totally skew the numbers as they were wave elections. This is definitely NOT a wave election. This is an economy election. As such , the trends will be local to districts and much more predictable. So while I agree that Dems pick up seats, I also think Republicans are going to pull out enough surprises to keep a safe majority in the House. The Senate is going to be a Republican rout . Republicans easily pick up three, more likely four or five and if things fall right, maybe six or seven if the stars align. These statewide elections are stacked against Dems this year.

The DCCC is breaking records in fundraising, the weekly marches and demonstrations have driven a massive amount of voter registration, the party in power is always at a historical disadvantage in midterms (though everything about the Trump presidency is an anomaly),and GOP incumbents are retiring left and right leading to more vulnerable districts on their side.
If I had to put money on it, I'd say the Dems take the House by the skin of their teeth.

It's not going to be a blue wave. I could see the Dems maybe taking the house but the GOP will pick up seats in the senate.

I thought Georgia was a big opportunity for them but the actual primary voting didn’t say that
Same for texas

It also happened in 1982 and 1994, so I’m not so sure it’s a cliche. It certainly helps that the economy is doing well and that the senate elections has a lot of dems in red states up. The antics the dem supporters also helps. They’ve given plenty of fodder for election ads.
