YES!!!! I’ve been preaching about this in response to those absurd predictions that some have been making.
People are forgetting that the GOP is starting from a much higher floor than they had in 1994 or 2010.
In 2010, they were going from 179 seats up to 242.
This year, they are starting from 212. It’s HARD, HARD, HARD to break the 240 ceiling. 250 is almost impossible.
We’ll see how the actual numbers play out. There are a lot of factors like untried candidates and redistricting to take into account.
But in any case, anything over 20 will be a significant majority, especially since it will be FAR more conservative than the 2010 and 2014 majorities since most of the Boehner Boys are gone now.
You’re correct. We made up many seats in 2020 which is pretty amazing with all the cheating and 24/7 of “they’re Nazis”. So if they Cain 25 seats or more that would be a blowout!!!
I realize that 1990 is ancient history to some here, but if you look back then and before, seven out of eight were way above 250. I guess that you mean it's hard for Republicans to beat 250.
