All the Reasons Democrats Are Screwed This November

The Atlantic reports:

As the 2014 midterm election campaign heats up, all indications are that Democrats are headed for a trouncing at the hands of Republicans.

Most political prognosticators now give the GOP a better-than-even chance of picking up the six seats it needs to win control of the Senate, and the party is expected to expand its majority in the House.

The Republican gains may not match those of the Tea Party wave of 2010 that cost Democrats the House and their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, but it likely will be enough to make President Obama's final two years in office even more of a headache than the last four have been.

There are many factors fueling the GOP's advantage, but the most striking difference between 2014 and 2010 is that the economy is not one of them.

The liberal establishment is preparing for a difficult November.
