that make or break elections. There is 10-12% middle that are pretty reasonable with their expectations and actually will do some research.

Between trump's mouth and egomania and effective democratic framing of him and the election, we have a great chance to see a democratic landslide and retaking of congress. We do have some big issue....if GOP convention turns into riots in the streets of cleveland, that will be blamed on democrats. If the democratic convention turns into riots in the streets of Philly, that will be blamed on democrats.....if both conventions get riotous inside the convention....good chance that plays out out ok....its politics.

But outside the convention, the mess will be blamed on democrats...and I expect a lot of outside agitators will be in play to stir it up....both from the teaparty side and the extreme leftist/anarchist side
