I have a hard time seeing how the Rats gain much in the House!

Are there really that many competitive Congressional districts? What do the Rats run on as an issue? They think they are too many people employed? The country needs more unemployment? More illegal immigration? More gun control? Vote for me we will give you more anti-Kavanaugh behavior? Or is it just vote for me because “Trump is a poopyhead!”?

I know there are some uninspiring GOP congressional candidates out there, but do the Rats have better ones?

I have a hard time thinking how they will gain any seats let alone take the House!

There are 70 competitive House districts (less than 3 points separating). There are a total of 39 seats out of 435 where Republicans don’t have a candidate. Dems have no candidate in only 6 districts out of 435. Over 40 incumbent Republicans resigned or declined to run. House will be tough.

“What do the Rats run on as an issue? “

The ignorance of the voters is their only hope.

To understand with what is happening with the House, you need to look outside of your own view of how the country ought to react to current events. 40% of the country are dedicated Democrats who think that you are nuts. 40% of the country agree with you and don’t believe that we have an issue. The rest of the 20% are clueless and don’t really care. Fortunately, most of these won’t vote, but if they do, they will do what the media tell them to do.

The results will be decided by those who shows up for Election Day. Usually we have an advantage in midterm elections, but the unhinged Democrats are really fired up.
The good news are that we are really angry about what the Democrats did to Kavanaugh and that will help. But, right now 32 House races are rated as toss-ups, 30 are Rep seats and 2 are Dems. If they break 50-50, we lose 16 seats. I think that we will do better than that, but only if work like hell for the next 30 days.
