The senate looks great right now.

But the polls for the house look very bad.
If the polls are to believed, Pelosi has a great chance of taking over.

I know I shouldn’t believe the polls or be discouraged by them. But at the same time to be dismissive of dem chances of house takeover seems like real hubris. They have a big money advantage in many house races and it is a real problem we shouldn’t be in denial about.

I see our side being more fired up now than in 2016.

We’ll see in 2 weeks.

You should have listened to Rush today.

Don’t believe the polls.

You just can’t trust the polls, especially the generic ballot polls. I’m curious which polls you see that worry the most, I’d like to see the internals. It’s easy if you oversample NY and CA to slant the numbers - even likely voter numbers - obviously because those states lean harder to the left.

But all politics is local (remember the good old days, compared to today when Democrats like Tip O’Neil looked level headed?). Each House race has to be polled on its own, and the politicians have their private polling outfits giving them the scoop - small sample sizes can sometimes get you lopsided results, that’s just statistics, but they can also be confirmatory if you are getting consistent numbers or numbers large enough outside the margin of error).

Most things about democrats are lies. Here’s a story on firms that provide fake protesters. (In the old days democrats hired off CraigsList... now the demand is too high)

California company that hires protesters is accused of extortion

https://www.sacbee.com/news/business/article220427190.html

Crowds on Demand, a Beverly Hills company that’s an outspoken player in the business of hiring protesters, boasts on its website that it provides its clients with “protests, rallies, flash-mobs, paparazzi events and other inventive PR stunts. ... We provide everything including the people, the materials and even the ideas.”
