OPINION: Yes, Nationalize the Midterms

The 2016 presidential election between then-candidate Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton was fierce. Clinton represented the established Democratic Party and the third term of Barack Obama. Donald Trump was the complete opposite, and never held a publicly elected office. The result of the election in November was shocking to many on both sides. Regardless, Trump won the presidency, and his victory was a referendum on the Obama agenda and the Washington D.C. establishment. Trump’s upset was a national shock, but voters said they did not want another Obama type term.
