Jim, you're shrieking again. You usually shriek when you feel threatened

It's unbelievable the way this party is imploding. AT the national level at least.
At the national level the dem's are running 10 points up on the generic House ballot and prominent conservatives are fleeing the GOP.

Are these the same pollsters who all said trump was going to get creamed?

I think the dems
Will take the house by a nose. I think the gop will almost certainly keep the senate, more likely to gain seats than to lose the senate- too many dems up for re-election in states that trump won.

Just because I’m pointing out a free fall, doesn’t mean I feel threatened. The numbers of who holds how
Many federal and state sets, appear to back me up - true or false?

I do take comfort in that. I’d take more comfort, if both sides would take a small step towards each other.

Because trump is a scumbag. Bill Clinton was also a scumbag, and no prominent democrats left the party. What does that tell you about which side has meaningful principles? I don’t agree with the never trumpers but they have the courage of their convictions. And many people who are still in the party, like me, heap criticism on trump. Did the left do that with bill Clinton? If so I missed it.
