Democratic candidates across the country have the albatross of being forced to defend their party's bad policy decisions, says Noelle Nikpour, a Republican strategist and political consultant.
"Democrats are in a big conundrum," Nikpour said Wednesday on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on
Newsmax TV.
"They have the burden of defending these bad policies; we don't have to. We don't have to rise as much because we don't have any bad policies in place . . . What's happening is you've got a GOP tidal wave."

She predicted GOP senate victories in Arkansas by Tom Cotton over Mark Pryor and in New Hampshire by Scott Brown over Jeanne Shaheen.
"Tom Cotton, I've got to tell you, the most impressive candidate that I've seen in a long time and he puts a new face on the needed brand of the GOP," she said.
"A former congressman going straight in for the Senate, Army Ranger, went to Harvard, and he didn't join the military to have them pay for school. He joined afterwards. He wanted to fight for his country when we were attacked on 9/11."
With Brown, she said, "he's kind of a surprise. A lot of people thought that seat was written off and then all of a sudden he's one point. It's a dead heat."
