Frankly even if the dems take control of the House it might not make a lot of difference.////

It will make a huge difference in many areas. They might not get any legislation past the senate and POTUS but Maxine waters will head the finance committee, shiff will head the intel committee, Nadler will head judiciary, etc. And they can pass stuff like universal healthcare, etc, and accuse the gop of being heartless, etc when they don’t OK it.

Fisagate will go away, and we will have endless witch hunts against Trump.

So called moderates and conservative rats are being replaced by ocasio cortez and her ilk.

Teamed up with the leftist media, a rat house is something you don’t want to see.

"We're sick and tired of the Constitution sitting in the National Archives manipulating everything we do."

Then this idiot needs to resign. HE is the one that took the oath to uphold and defend the Constitution he is sick and tired of. of course commies can't stand the Constitution, it blocks them. Unfortunate that an oath such as these politicians take cannot have a clause for immediate removal or traitor extermination penalties. A lot of folks have died or shed blood doing their part to uphold their oath, just for these pols to see it as a bunch of nonsensical words.

It’s weird but 2016 actually had similar turnout compared to the last two pres. elections, if I recall. 2008 was the most for a while. Some states maybe were higher? Supposedly because different people came out to vote while many stayed home. Hopefully this confirmation hearing and the media coverage opened a lot of eyes.

Sorry, totally disagree. Dems winning the House means them controlling all the committees, which means endless investigations and subpoena of cabinet members. It will stop the administration in its tracks. They can also impeach Kavanaugh with a simple majority, even though nothing will happen in the Senate.

On average, Democrat presidents lose 35.2 seats in the House first midterm after an election.

>Republican presidents only lose 11.2 seats in the House in their first midterm on average.

Again, this is every president since WWII”

If we all work together to rid the swamp of as many dem critters as we can, the 5.4 Supreme Court Richter situation will create a 2018 red wave that will culminate in a 2020 Trumpnami.

Interesting. Funny how that difference between the parties is never discussed.

Great article, raised my spirits.
I’m hoping for the Red Tsunami in any case but it helps to see that keeping the house would be the norm not exceptional.
