> As the US heads toward the midterms, the race is taking shape as a test of Donald Trump, the resilience of democratic institutions and whether a divided Democratic Party can turn widespread dissatisfaction into a coherent alternative.

Philip Turle says some Republican voters are turning to the opposition to protest Trump, not to endorse Democrats.
