Analysis asks whether Democrats will win a blue wave in the US midterms

Summary

Ahead of next week's US midterm elections, an analysis piece asks whether Democrats will win a blue wave of seats or something larger, a blue flood. It reports that Donald Trump has held dozens of campaign rallies and remains convinced he can help Republicans keep control of Congress. It says his remark 'Pretend I'm on the ticket,' made at this summer's Republican convention in Dallas, could seal the Republican party's fate. The article also describes the rally speeches as wide-ranging, from comments about a senator's appearance and baseless terrorism accusations against a Muslim candidate to boasts about White House renovations and cost-of-living concerns.
