Democrats are predicting that President-elect Trump will be such a disaster out of the gate that they will win back the middle of America in just two years.

Top leaders are already talking about nationalizing the midterm elections, which typically go against the new incumbent president.

"We need to have a national campaign, not only in the presidential elections but in the congressional elections as well. We will have an opportunity to do that in two years. We'll have wind at our backs," Rep. Adam Schiff said.

They'll also have one of the most unfavorable strategic positions in 2018 as well. Remember, the Dems made big gains in 2006 and 2012 that they'll have to defend. Will Claire McCaskill, for instance, survive a challenger that doesn't shoot himself in the foot? 2016 emboldened Republicans, too. They'll remember Obama.

The action would be in the House, more than likely.  Democrats need a 24 seat pickup.

Pick up 18 in 18, I say.

"We need to have a national campaign, not only in the presidential elections but in the congressional elections as well. We will have an opportunity to do that in two years. We'll have wind at our backs," Rep. Adam Schiff said.

Is this the same Schiff who had a meltdown on Tucker Carlsons show recently where he called Tucker a Russian spy?
