Cook, always behind the real curve by about two months.
Charlie Cook having totally blown 2014 and 2016, knows his credibility is dead if be blown 2018 as badly. Suddenly being a tame mouthpiece for the DNC isn’t looking to be the smart career move for Charley boy
We’re gonna hold the House.
A 40 seat loss strikes me as outlandish. If its in the single digits, I’m happy.
And three weeks is an eternity in polltics.
Bottom line: Cook’s team still has the Senate staying Republican, as he has all along, and the House probably flipping to the Dems, but now with little chance of a big wave of 40 or more seats, more like around 30 and some chance of as low as 20 in which case the GOP stays in control.
6 months ago I said the lying American hating Democrats were going to get KO’d come the midterms. These political experts are really on the case. Amazing.
Oh Look.
It’s dnc propagandist, Charlie Cook, trying to cover his @ss.
To me, the most disgusting moments were Democrats giving Christine Ford BJ's on broadcast TV......
Democrats sucking up to the liar for her "bravery and truthfulness" for "coming forward" after her 36 years past ordeal (yuck).
IMHO, most Americans were disgusted at this fawning Democrat display......that surely lost them thousands of votes
“suddenly”
Is that like “unexpected”?
we all here knew that that the fake polls would be forced to start shifting towards actual reality as the election approached, basically shifting asymptotically on a scale that ranges from complete bullshit to actual reality ...
Kudo’s to you - you really did a ‘yeoman’s job’ putting all those links in the story.
It's going to be really close as to who runs the House. We probably won't even know til the weekend after the election - there's always 5-6 House races too close to call.
Nice information. So long as the Republicans don’t screw it up, go for some shiny bait, things are beginning to look good. Hard to top what Warren did this week, but I fear, though, that they will do something stupid in the remaining days.
“...the distinct possibility of undecideds stampeding toward the Democrats at the last minute.”
No justification given for that assertion...just an unsubstantiated statement. Isn’t the opposite “distinct possibility” just as likely? Why would undecideds break for D?
I predict GOP gains in both the House and Senate. This will be followed by an immediate expansion of the Mueller probe against all GOP members of Congress to find proof that Russia interfered with the midterms. <\sarc>
With this Senate map the GOP only gaining 2-3 seats would be a GOP disaster. Par should be gaining 6-8 seats, a good years gaining even more. With so much of the Democratic House vote concentrated in 70%+ urban Rat holes, and the overall national generic House ballot close to tied, par should mean more 50-55% GOP seats than 70%+ Rat seats, roughly as we have now. Which would still be an improvement with so many RINOs retiring to be replaced by new, more conservative, members. A good GOP house year would be gaining another 20+ seats.
The Rat minority is cooked in by their own identity politics: if they don’t have the 70-80% urban Rat districts they can’t give the radicals, blacks and latinos their demanded seats. They’d have to settle for old style, traditional, moderate, WHITE democrats members if they wanted to ungerrymander the blue states to obtain a House majority. And their internal identity politics won’t allow for that. The lefty media is no longer powerful enough to overcome that. Their vote fraud resources are less effective at the House level as it is they are mostly concentrated in districts they’d win without fraud.
GOP strength at the state and local levels, IF they’ll use it, should minimize vote fraud crossing House district or State boundaries. Whether the traditional GOP establishment can gets its act together enough to actually use those advantages remains to be seen. That the Turtle and his co-RINOs have pushed so many Trump nominations through the Senate with the narrowest of majorities offers some evidence that the national GOP establishment is learning to fight from Trump, rather than continuing to fight against Trump. And, although the Rats having been pouring private lefty megabucks into many races the RNC has a LOT more money to spend than the DNC and may well spend it more timely and effectively than the crazy lefties.
Keep telling yourself this, fools.
I will not be surprised if the GOP picks up seats in the House and will romp and stomp in the Senate races. It may pick up as many as six seats: FL, ND, MO, WS, MI, OH and PA.
Case in point:
I left the GOP when the Senate refused to have a real trial with witnesses for Bill Xlinton.
Then around 2008 I simply quit voting.
I came out of voter retirement to cast one vote in 2016 and that was for Donald Trump. Not Republicans.
I had planned on sitting out the midterms.
However as things progressed through the Senate Confirmation hearings coupled with the mob thuggery I made the decision to vote in the midterms.
In that I re-registered in 2016 without any party affiliation I couldn’t vote straight ticket. So I mailed in my absentee ballot last week having gone down the entire list voting “against” every Democrat up for election.
I dislike the GOP only marginally less than the Democrats. But I did vote and a true “independent”.
I would like to believe there are many others out there is the same position.
Donald Trump is the last, best hope for the Republic, imho.
I only wish someone could convince him to post to Twitter about 90% less than he is.
But I ain’t holding my breath on that one.
But Juan Williams just said...the Dems have the wind at their back
