8 point lead in the congressional generic ballot for democrats (#3384)

     It is only early May but an 8 point lead for democrats is indicative of the national mood against republicans, https://www.vox.com/2018/5/3/17315970/generic-ballot-2018-midterms-democrats-republicans-monmouth-poll. I think 8 is still small but again it is only early May so we democrats have time to make that number grow especially since we are clearing the primaries getting ready for the candidates from both parties to present their policies. Well, at least we democrats are ready but as far as republicans go who knows what they will do since they are not for any policies attractive to the working middle poor class. Especially women since many national marches have shown that women have had enough of the republican party.
     Even if 8 points ends up being the margin after the election in November it will be a wave election. Not what we are hoping for but still enough to flip the House and Senate. Yet we democrats need to be greedy in building our blue wave. We must take down all the republican leaders in the House and do more than just squeak by in the Senate. This will be a generational election for us democrats if we can harness the anger that our nation has with republicans who are trying their hardest to destroy any vestige we have a prosperous middle class. The middle class has been a stepping stone for the poor to get to the middle and then up to the upper class. But if we allow republicans to continue to destroy our middle class then the poor will never have the chance to be financially successful.
     It is shameful and anti democratic what republicans are doing and never in any universe should they be rewarded for doing it. We must defeat them with a margin that spells out a mandate that even the slow witted trump can't deny. We will need to have the kind of numbers that give us the power to push past trump and enact policies despite trump and his false ego. A 10 point margin in the voting come November would all but certify that we democrats will crush the republicans and surely would give us comfortable margins in both houses of congress. It is what we need to survive and reverse the last two years of trump if Mueller doesn't get to trump before then. Not only that but the 2020 census needs us democrats to be in control of the apportioning of the congressional boundary lines if we are ever going to end the draconian gerrymandering effect.
