Will Donald Trump Hand State Capitols to Democrats?

Will Donald Trump Hand State Capitols to Democrats?
A Democratic landslide in November could flip a dozen or more legislative majorities that Republicans captured during the Obama era.
RUSSELL BERMAN 6:00 AM ET

Donald Trump’s recent plunge in the polls has tempted Democrats to widen their dreams for a big night in November. A landslide victory for Hillary Clinton, they now believe, could bring with it control of the U.S. Senate and dramatically shrink the party’s gap with Republicans in the House—if not flip it entirely.

But there could be a Trump effect in another 2016 battleground that could shape the electoral landscape much further into the future: the elections for control of state legislatures.

there are plenty of examples of Repub governors out there that should make it easier than it seems.

I mean, Kansas, Florida, Michigan...the list goes on.

The coming election may be the most important election in my lifetime.

I hope and pray the democratic party can make major changes in this country and even statehouses!
