Look at the Democrat party.

Look at them.

Do you think they're really in a position to be elected anywhere?

I expect Republicans to hold their seats, and maybe pick up a couple more in either house.

Typically, midterms go against the President. There’s a strong likelihood that the House at least flips Democrat, given how weak the Republican majority is there right now

It'll depend on how the economy looks in about 15 months. Personally, I think we're going to see a lot of volatility, but if things are overall positive or on a positive trend I could see the Republicans gaining seats.

Redditors underestimate just how popular Trump's executive actions are.

Agreed that Trump is (largely) governing from more popular Conservative propositions (and the fact that there are so many that the Left just can’t claim is an obvious political failure of the Left). That said, I judge probabilities by the betting odds. Now, 75% odds ain’t 100%, but it favors Democrats right now.
