You can expect to see the lowest turnout in presidential elections in decades. Nobody is going to be excited enough to come out and vote for either of them. And as a result, the down ballot elections will favor the incumbents.

No, IMO the house is safe for the R's. The Senate on the other hand may not be, based on sheer numbers of Republican seats up for grabs.
