Granted, not a normal election cycle. If we were in a normal election cycle with a president at around 40% approval, the Republicans would be gaining 40 plus seats in the house, 6 senate seats along with 5 or so Governors. Here’s what happened in a normal election cycle where a president was around 40% overall approval.

Biden 2022 40% ?????? projected loss of 18-20 house seats, gain of 2 senate seats, 3 governors as of 22 August
Trump 2018 40% lost 44 house seats, 3 senate seats, 6 governors
Obama 2010 42% lost 63 house seats, 6 senate seats, 4 governors
G.W. Bush 2006 33% lost 33 house seats, 6 senate seats, 6 governors
Bill Clinton 1994 42% lost 54 house seats, 9 senate seats, 1 governor

Needless to say, this cycle isn’t normal because of Trump. Trump is doing all he can to help the Democrats win this midterm. If I didn’t know better, I’d say Trump was a Democratic plant in the Republican Party. Without Trump, the above would be happening. Trump is the Democrats greatest asset election wise. Why are the Democrats trying to eliminate their greatest asset? From an election standpoint, it doesn’t make sense. Unless one takes in the revenge factor. Trump seeking revenge again lifelong, loyal Republicans who weren’t loyal enough to him. Thus, causing the Republicans to nominate a bunch of very poor, unqualified, bum candidates, easy to beat in the general election strictly for revenge. Not for winning elections. Then the Democrats out for revenge against Trump. But the Democrats have come up with quality, very good toward outstanding candidates for the general election. Their revenge consists of doing away with the Democrats greatest election asset and throwing him in jail. Election wise, this makes no sense. But I always view politics through the eyes of an election. Does this event, this person, this happening help or hurt my party’s chances in the upcoming election.

I leave the partisan revenge politics to those who love doing it. This is one of the main reasons I’m a swing voter, never having belonged to either major party. I detest partisan political party politics.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
