Brand New Congress: 535 progressive candidates, 1 ticket

Am I missing something? Every two years the entire House of Representatives is up for grabs - including this year. They have two year terms.

And every two years, about a third of the Senate is up for re-election since they have six year terms which have gotten pretty evenly staggered over the years.

Arguably, this year is the most advantageous year to regain both the Senate and the House - especially if Trump or Cruz end at the top of the ticket since they aren’t exactly loved by large segments of their party. Focusing on 2 years from now - during midterms when liberals historically don’t bother to vote - seems rather dumb.
