Situational awareness - October 19, 2018

Good Thursday morning from Salt Lake City.

The 2018 midterms elections are less than three weeks away. Will there be a "blue wave," or will a "red wave" keep Republicans in power? Make your picks in our 2018 Election Challenge. We've got a $50 gift card for the winner - http://bit.ly/2Ed4dhj

Executive summary: Mia Love's campaign claims vindication in their fundraising flap. John Bolton and John Kelly get into a screaming match in the White House. There is still a path for Republicans to keep control of the House in November despite a strong electoral headwind.
