Liberals who underestimate Newt Gingrich still don't realize why Democrats lost 1994, 2004, 2010, 2014, and 2016.

Democrats should not get too overconfident. The 2018 map favors Republicans because of the conservative lean of these states and the fact that older, whiter, wealthier people turn out more than younger, minority, poorer people.

2018 is a Lean D year, but anything could happen from now and the week of Nov. 4, 2018.
You forgot 1998, 2000, and 2002, which were also years Democrats suffered classic wipeouts.

WTF. That's not remotely true.

Yeah not sure what he's even talking about there: Dems gained seats in the house and held even in the senate in 1998 despite the six year itch, and gained 4 senate seats in 2000, so even if they came up somewhat short of expectations in those years, they were hardly "wipeouts". Neither was 2002 really, because even though Dems lost seats, they managed to defend several in unfavorable terrain, and the governor's races that year were really just musical chairs.
