Democrats are feeling confident about winning a net of 23 seats needed to control the House. Already, Republicans are pulling money from several districts they had initially hoped could be within their grasp.
Republicans are suffering particular problems among highly educated voters who live outside urban centers like Kansas City, Philadelphia and Denver.
The National Republican Congressional Committee pulled about $1 million in planned spending from the 3rd Congressional District in Kansas, where Rep. Kevin Yoder is running for re-election. Outside groups have also been pulling ads from districts held by Rep. Barbara Comstock, R-Va., and Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Colo., an indication that they no longer see those races as competitive.
“If the Democratic base gets any more excited they may have to seek medical attention,” said Corry Bliss, who runs the Congressional Leadership Fund, which is aligned with House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin to preserve the House GOP majority. “In the last week things have undeniably improved in our polling. Republican intensity and excitement are through the roof. Now we need to keep the trend going for the next few weeks.”
Give me the Senate and I’ll be happy - we need the JUDGES. As noted by others, if the Dems win the House, they’ll make such a SPECTACLE of themselves that Trump will be able to coast to victory in 2020.
I think LS said that Comstock's seat is no longer seen as vulnerable.
Campaigning by Trump is critical to keep Republican enthusiasm levels up. Which he is doing.
Yoder is a whore, and if we are gonna lose a couple of seats, let this backstabber be one of them.
