I’d say 15 seat pitch up for the Rats.

They all have my local race, NJ-7, scored as a toss-up.

Ain’t no way in Hell this is a toss-up.

Four Term Congressman against a nobody “local businessman”. This one is not going to be close.

Of course, I will still get out and man the phones and pound the pavement, just to make the rubble bounce!

Yep. That’s the Sabato who picked Hillary by a landslide.

What worries me is the collapse of the GOP party infrastructure in many states. Committee’s are now full of lazy patronage hacks and wannabes, no longer to they have true conservatives who help generate excitement to GOTV.

Sabato says Democrats for the first time are the favorites to retake control

I have only seen the wishful thinking from CNNPMSNBCCBS that the Dems have always been favored to win back the House ...

Looks more and more that 1984 was a prophecy not a cautionary tale.

Could happen depending on what new crisis and accompanying lies that the NYT, WaPo and associated collections of marshmallow majors can come up with before November.

There is certainly one profession in which most of us would loudly applaud rapidly rising unemployment numbers.

No, make that two....journalists and liberal politicians.
No, wait, that’s the same group of people.

> “They were correct with GOP gains in 2010 and 2014 well before November.”

2010 was in response to Obamacare.
2014 was in response to defund Obamacare.

Americans had lost trust in Obama.
Sabato was no genius in getting on that bandwagon.

Sabato has neither the funding nor the horsepower to accurately assess the outcome this Fall. He’s making stuff up.

The democrats have no platform, no groundswell of popularity for this Fall.

Sabato has no means of accurately polling the country on what is the trend for this Fall. His “seat-by-seat” finger in the wind is part of his grant funding. He will flip-flop according to his own interests.

This report is a nothing-burger.

It’s pretty common for the party holding the White House to lose seats in the midterm. GOP can only lose 22 and still have the majority. Pennsylvania redistricting costs 5 already. California resignations in purple districts probably another 4-5. House flipping to the Dems is not a radical call at all.

At that point the Democrats can subpoena Trump’s past tax returns.

I wouldn’t be surprised, this country is going to hell in a handbasket, despite the best efforts from Trump.

The communists are angry and will be turning out. How much our side does is the only unknown at this point. However, the generic ballot has been trending in the right direction. Predicting a Democrat takeover with that number shifting pretty substantially is like predicting fair weather 2 weeks from now because it’s still relatively nice out today.

Better get off our asses and VOTE. I do not care what anyone says.

Anyone here want to see Mad Maxine as the head of the house financial committee? Of Shiff for brains as another?

Just take a long look.

“University of Virginia political analyst Larry Sabato”

Larry Sabato is a fraud. He is a Leftist “professor” at the University of Virginia. He is a “professor” of Political Science at the University, and he has his own “think tank” at the University, from which he issues his Leftist “political analysis”, all paid for by the taxes of the citizens of Virgina.

“What worries me is the collapse of the GOP party infrastructure in many states.”

Like Colorado. The GOP is eGOP here and hateful towards Trump. They openly denounce Trump and allow Democrat State, county, and local employees to openly harass Republican employees and trash talk Republicans and Trump.

Spineless eGOP in Colorado.
