Actually yes. If Trump's actions to date are not enough to sway white wingers, 2018 is going Hoyt May 2017 #9

Our vantage point is that we’re mostly looking at special elections in terms of how they might predict 2018. A night where Democrats are losing Montana by “only” 6 or 7 points is consistent with the sort of map you might see if Democrats were either taking over the House or coming pretty close to it.
