The November midterms will be a “tsunami” for the Republicans, says the chairman of the Republican National Committee.
"I think that we're in for a tsunami-type election in 2014,” RNC chairman Reince Priebus told reporters Tuesday at a breakfast hosted by The Christian Science Monitor. “My belief is that it's going to be a very big win, especially at the US Senate level, and I think we may even add some seats in the congressional races.”
The next step, Mr. Priebus says, will be to take the “positives and benefits that we’ve been able to provide in 2014 and build on that to have success in 2016,” the next presidential election.
RECOMMENDED: Eight open US Senate seats in 2014

Last week’s Republican victory in a special House election in Florida and the recent Republican victory in the San Diego mayor’s race provide evidence that the investment is bearing fruit, Priebus says.
But issues are also a big factor, starting with Obamacare – and they will go a long way toward boosting Republican support among demographic groups that have been Democratic strongholds, the RNC chair says.
