I don't know where I would put it in terms of Tilt/Lean/Likely/Safe but I would say that the Democrats are definitely favored to win.

Likely R. The tax reform surge has been catching liberals off-guard and will lead to a crushing 2018.

My thinking as well. Rs could potentially have a net gain by picking off D held Trump districts.

Yeah, because on of the least popular presidents in history will definitely make gains in a midterm... something that has never happened before.

This is definitely a possibility that liberals really need to pay more attention to. MN-01 and Peterson's district are incredibly vulnerable. I honestly don't really see any districts that democrats can pick up. Maybe FL-26, but Florida dems just underperformed Hillary Clinton in a special election by 10%. After the tax reform surge, this will be more like 20-25%, so even winning FL-26 is pretty unlikely.

The DNC's terrible fundraising numbers are going to hurt hard when all the GOP incumbents are going to be lavished with millions and millions of dollars by thankful donors. Trump's movement is going to become much stronger once people see an extra $1,000 in their paycheck. I really can't state enough how big this tax reform surge will be. Not to mention expanding infrastructure is going to be extremely popular with the american people.

*Face palm*

I'm getting really tired saying this to you two: There is NO WAY the GOP is going to have a positive midterm no matter the outcome of the tax reform. There are too many negatives working against them and people just don't give a sh**t about this tax bill they passed.

Trolling or not, I am not going to listen to the guy who thought an overcast in Northern Virginia handed Gillespie the governorship.
