GOP lawmakers secretly predict a huge 'blue wave' in midterms: 'We're on the defense'

GOP lawmakers believe a blue wave is on the way but what they do not know yet is how high the wave will be.

Speaking anonymously, a collection of Republican Party members believe they are set for a rough time in the midterms, irrespective of voter turnout. History has shown the party in opposition can make major gains against the party in power, as was the case for the Senate majority flip to Democrats in 2006.

"There’s going to be a blue wave," one anonymous GOP rep told The Hill.
