I'm not really a Mike Pence fan, but I really can't think of a single beneficial change that would come from Trump that wouldn't/couldn't come with Pence and a Republican congress. I can think of a lot of change I wouldn't want if Trump had his way that I wouldn't be worried about happening with Pence. And Pence isn't a threat to basic civil liberties the way Trump is. At least, that is how I see it.

Midterm Elections usually benefit the party not in power.
But the demographics don't favor the Democrats. In the Senate, the Dems defend 25 seats to 8 for the GOP.
What you can't sense because you're not of that demographic is the current mess is making Trump more popular with his supporters. Trump defies normal thinking.
I recognize that this author has a bias, but examine his reasoning that the Dems are engaging in risky strategy.
