can't argue there but the greatest concern voters have would likely be how they were, are and will be affected personally and in particular, financially. I wouldn't underestimate singular voter intelligence as the democrats recently did in 2016. I doubt people would be pleased at the prospect of their monthly mortgage payments increasing either through difficulty getting a 30 year or being subjected to increase rates. Or worse yet , being unable to buy a home and lose the capital renting.Push comes to shove, sectors of the population care or find it interesting the issues you mentioned,but the majority of the "average Joes" ( not the people you read about or hear about in the "fake" news) will vote with their pocket books in mind and how they were, are and will be affected as individuals and as a family.And giving your money to large Wall st. banks is a negative for most people when other options could exist. Resolving housing finance in a positive way for the middle class and minority groups in the next few months, and well before the mid terms, could be a decisive voting factor and if handled right a bonus for the republicans.

While I agree with what everything else you said, I'm going to say you're wrong about 95% of people not knowing who Corker is. Corker has gained the pubic spotlight months ago for insulting the POTUS and being a obstructionist when it came to voting for the tax reform. Remember, this is a guy who was under the spotlight before then, despite being ON RECORD ON TV for telling people to short F&F. He's as crooked as they come in terms of Senators, but people wouldn't be grilling him unless someone came out from 20+ years ago and said they were groped by him.
