Meh, it’s smart. Lamb was going to win that seat. Rogers doesn’t have much of a chance, and that’s a flip at best, and Blum is considered toast.
But . . . Salazar in FL27 is now leading My Shalala-—KEY, as I don’t see how Ds re-take the House without that seat, NY19 where Faso already had a lead and now actress Diane Neal has entered the race on the “Workers Party” to siphon off more D votes; and then there are the two OH seats (now safe) and the three TX seats (now considered out of the woods).
I pretty much agree with this map, which shows Rs could in fact gain a seat or two. (I actually do NOT have the MN 1&2 as “tossups.” I am told we’ll win both of those, plus the OH seat, so right now this map would be 216 for Rs.
A two-seat gain in the House after losing 40 retirements is in fact a red wave.
Donations would be the most critical in this fight and votes for republicans will keep the nation flourishing no one unless completely depraved of mind would install democrats in places where their economy is thriving
“The Republicans are not even fielding a contestant in 39 out of the 435 seats for the House. Dems are without a contestant in only 7.”
Is that right ?
I feel NO association whatsoever with ‘republicans’ or the GOP!
I feel that I have been insulted, bullied, betrayed, exploited and outright shamed by them.
If they don’t comprehend Conservatism and CALL themselves Conservatives by NOW, then who the f&^% ARE they, anyway?
They have painted themselves into this corner. Now their only choices are to work with Trump and Conservatives or cease the ridiculous pretense that they are ‘American politicians’
Is that guy still alive? Haven’t heard from him in ages.
Are any of those in places like Kali

Seven are in California....
But there’s another side to that coin. None of the seven California challengers
has ever held an elected public office—none has been a city council member, county
supervisor, or school-board member, and few have run for office before—and several
have had trouble persuading voters that they’re intrinsic enough in their district to
represent it. Which is to say that most of the seven are new to this business—and, in
many cases, new to the voters.

What polls are they looking at? NPR/PBS/Marist has Trump job approval at 44, about the same as Obama at this point.
You are right on the money. The lying left-wing, Democrat rag, “The Hill” blabbers once again. Bottom line Pubbies, instead of moaning and bad mouthing, we need everyone and I mean everyone to get out and vote on election day or before...period.
“The Hill” is just trying to convince you that your voting is a waste of time. Don’t listen or believe a word they utter!!!
Trump upcoming rallies:
- Wheeling, West Virginia - 09/29/2018 - Saturday
- Johnson City, Tennessee - 10/01/2018 - Monday
- Southhaven, Mississippi - 10/02/2018 - Tuesday
Be there by the thousands to support our great POTUS, Trump and the candidates he backs and supports...100%.
The NRCC and NRSC are still in the hands of Bush League Republicans hell bent on turning the USA into North Mexico.
Only those candidates that support amnesty/open borders get their support.
Jason Lewis is safe. Erik Paulsen is in trouble. Stauber and Hughes will be net gains in MN. Even steven when it’s all done.
The GOP does suck but this story is really meant to suppress and demoralize voters.
That is an absurdly awful way to categorize first-term mid-term elections.
DEMOCRATS have in recent electoral history, gotten wiped out in first-term mid-term elections, but that stupid broad didn't want to write that, did she?
Bush II added 8 seats. Bush I only lost 8.
Clinton lost 54! Bobo LOST 63!!
Because The Hill has a bunch of yammering nimrods who get assigned shitty process articles, and either Madame Zinona follows through or she loses her job.
Do you see one word about the PAC money for the GOP in these Districts? No. MILLION$ of long-ago-purchased airtime.
The article is supposed to make you feel bad. It's agitprop. You're supposed to see right through it for what it is.
I get that we should think outside the box and look to expand the field but we have to be realistic as well.
On a side note one time a relative of mine, a retired career military officer, ran into "JoeJoeJoe" at a meet and greet in a library and gave him a public dressing down, just tore into him on one subject after another. Joe just took it, smiling and nodding uncomfortably, and at the end shook his hand and mumbled something along the lines of thank you for your concern and I want to represent all my constituents so I'll definitely note your thoughts. I don't think Joe is even a bad guy, he's just dumb and weak.
Ryan is alive and well and grinning like the Cheshire cat at bum rush that's happening at our Southern border. He's another example of a CON_servative who has conserved nothing and instead presided over the decline of America.
Former staffer, other sources, and from The Hill and I am supposed to give this credence??
Good Grief....
On the surface that could look like a foolish policy.But consider just one state,my state,Massachusetts.Our state legislature,both House and Senate,are 95% Rat and have been for years.Over the years they've gotten our Congressional District map set up in such a way that nobody but the filthiest Maoist Rat could win.It would be as foolish for the GOP to spend a nickel on any of the Gay State's 9 Congressional districts as it would be to spend money in Bella Pelosi's district.
And our 9 districts can't be the only lost causes in the country.
I read that sometimes they promote a no-hoper to see what kind of money or votes he can draw. Also, it seasons the expendable Newbies in the rough and tumble political arena.
