1930 is the model for the 2026 Blue Storm Surge

[Bernardo de La Paz]

Hoover elected 1928.
Presided over market crash in 1929.
Signed Smoot-Hawley tariff tax June 1930.

Then November 1930 happened.

Senate: +8 Dem (35 contested, only 96 seats then)
House: +52 Dem
Governors: +7 Dem (33 contested)

Then November 1932 happened.

President: FDR: 472 EV, Hoover 59. Popular vote margin: Dem +17.8%
Senate: +12 (compared to 1930)
House: +97 (compared to 1930)
Governors: +11 (compared to 1930, 35 contested)

Democrats need a 21st century FDR. RepubliConners have their Hoover (tRump for midterms, Vance for 2028).

1. The internet willmake that more difficult.

The smears begin and don't stop the minute some democrat even dares to mention running for office.

2. Computerized gerrymandering makes that number aspirational

As well ... +10-30 is closer to historic norm midterms vs. unpopular president.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. Could be, but 2018 Blue Wave did better than that and tRump is less popular now than 2018

2018 I think had about the same gerrymander.

Senate: -2 Dem
House: +41 Dem
Governors: + 7 Dem

4. DCCC i know mentioned 33 races??? That are currently

Under target which sounds about right. Waves tend to overtake beyond what you target anyway.

Working from memory , hence the question marks.
