just saw this article about an 82 year old woman in Texas voting for the first time. She went republican down ticket to "drain the swamp" and then immediately dropped dead. That's what happens when you vote Cruz, God rewards you by taking you straight to Heaven.

Fixed that for you;)

But they still take the house, though.

And they WILL Filibuster EVERYTHING that Trump does and/or the Republicans do going forward 'cause they're all a bunch of whiny-ass bitches.


I'm praying that the Republicans keep the house so that The Good Times will continue to roll here in America...

This is rich. I’d bet you Dems and Trump will find ways to work together only if Pelosi is out as Majority Leader. Also, Republicans played obstructionist for 6 years cry me a river.

It means that the Democrats will gain less than 38 seats on net. So, for example, if the Democrats were to net < 23 seats, (and the Republicans therefore keep the House), that would be consistent with my prediction.

Essentially my prediction is that there is no "blue wave".

If you want to see a real "wave", consider the 2010 elections. Republicans netted 63 seats that year.

Okay no blue wave but they still win the House which is what I DO NOT want to happen.

So I was voicing my apprehension at your post in regards to that.

Blue Wave or not....As far as the Democrats winning the House goes, it's not how they do it....it's that they do it.

Whether it's by 1 seat or 23 seats.


I'm rooting for the opposite to happen and for the Republicans to hold on. Our future depends on it.

Any predictions for the "tossup" races? We could go head-to-head on a few of them.

Don't have any predictions, I haven't been following any of the races outside of a cursory glance. Would need to look at the data before predicting anything. I'm not even American but watching American politics is fascinating. In a can't look, can't look away kind of way.

Dems had 2 years to "work with Trump" and the only thing they did was Whine about his "TONE" (translation : He does not talk like a President should). THAT was their MAIN #1 concern.

Not the Country nor it's economic issues....


But Trump's TONE.

And they call him Racist, and any other name they can come up with.

And you believe Trump and them will find a way to work together after all that?

Wow. Very optimistic view on your part....but also very naive.

Dude, you're still not getting it.

Take +14 for example.

If the Democrats net +14, the Republicans keep the House. The +14 doesn't mean the final party difference. It means the breakdown relative to right now, which is 240 (R) -195 (D).*

So +14 D would give us a final balance of 226 (R)-209 (D), and the Republicans would keep the House.




*I'm ignoring vacancies for simplicity.

Lol at this shit tier poster pretending as though holding just over 50 senate seats means you can pass anything you want.

Trump doesn’t hold anything. That’s literally the point of the senate and the constitution - that the president doesn’t hold it in any circumstance.

You don’t know anything.

Oh wow.. isn't that an ironic post...

Ridiculous call. That's purely a clickbait media tactic. Kentucky 5 hasn't reported any data yet, but it's one of the reddest districts in the nation and it's guaranteed to stay red.

I was going to post that I guessed this had to be a safe Republican seat, given how fast it was called.

MSM is really funny this way. Polls close, and they immediately call the race before a single vote has been reported.

Didn’t realize. Probably called it off exit polling.

Wait what? The Dems had control the last two years? I must had missed something about Republicans controlling government the last two years, why would anything bipartisan come from Republicans or the POTUS.
