Republican Wave?

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

The "wave" will be due to decreased turnout.  There is just no confidence in government right now on either side of the aisle.  We still see people becoming more socially liberal, more irreligious, and more open to allowing socialism as part of a mixed economy.  The Republicans push the same agenda over and over and they win some/lose some.  The see-saw rocked our way for the most part from 2006-2012, with that 1994-esque charade put on by the GOP in 2010 because Barry hadn't fixed EVERYTHING in the course of a year.  Thing is, there is much to suggest that the economy is improving, Obamacare is working, and that Obama has largely been an effective leader.  That gradual improvement is not sensationalist, or attention-grabbing, however, so Americans dislike Congress and the President just as much as ever.  They won't show up 5 days from now, and the swath of upper-class/upper-middle class GOP voters will flock to the polls and put their overlords back in Congress as always. 

The Democrats will have a great opportunity to capitalize on their successes in the Obama years in 2016, but I hardly expect them to do it, instead running away from Obama and any good they do the same way they ran away from Clinton in 2000 and gave away what should've been an easy win.   This is why they need a guy like Sanders on the ticket, and I can only hope Hillary selects him as her running mate.  Or at least Warren.
