Just goes to show what you know.

The CBS Evening News (it was on in the bar) says that the Democrats have a lock on 226 House seats and that President Trump is very unpopular.

They're experts, you know.

My spidey is just like '16: no one is crazy enough to vote for Hillary. DJT wins. A modicum of common sense prevails.

Deja vu' this time, only more so. Why on God's green earth would anyone vote for Dems, beside those that didn't vote for DJT in '16. He's got less haters this year--having schmoozed some indies, blacks, hispanics--and we've got more support after Kavanaugh, the caravan approaching, and the economy.

Senate + 2 , House + 2 or 3. Can't friggin' wait to bury the bastards. If they haven't self-immolated by the election, their tantrums and mob tactics will finish them shortly thereafter.

Jeb! had a $100 million war chest and everyone said that the primaries were over from the beginning.

With just one look at Jeb! you can tell that something isn't right with him, I suspect overbreeding:

“Why on God’s green earth would anyone vote for Dems”

Just to add...why on earth would parents of kids in high school and college vote Democrat knowing they will pass #MeToo laws that would put their kids in legal danger?...for that matter, and for the same reason, why would voting age teens vote Democrat as well?

Now if a pollster were to call one of these parents, they aren’t going to tell them the truth about how they are voting. We saw that in 2016 with the silent Trump voter.

Couple that with the difficulty in even reaching people to poll and you have the makings of a soup that no one knows what it will taste like. Polling is a total crapshoot.

I wish I could be so optimistic. Here in VA last year we lost one of our most conservative delegate districts to a tranny.

“Democrats too awash in cash...”

But the DNC was broke not so very long ago - is anyone looking into how they suddenly became flush with cash?

I wouldn't think the 2 are that closely related.

Except in wave elections, e.g. 1980, 1994, the Senate and House usually have their own dynamics.

I do hope that even if someone like Lou Barletta-whom I admire deeply-loses, he doesn't cause too much of a drag on down-ballot races.

Yeah, the Virginia results, even though I never had much faith in Gillespie, were a huge disappointment.

That state is really going down the drain, politically.

Unlikely starts at 20-1. 6-1 is just a long shot.

Nate isn’t so great at predictions when he doesn’t have access to Obama’s internal polls.

Just watched her local debate against MA candidate Jeff Diehl. She keeps talking about some obscure law in

2013 that she supposedly “ co- Authored” on the Armed Services Committee? What the hell is that Dyke doing on the Armed Services Committee?
Like Shrillary, the Demon Woman.. showed on a Friday night at 7:00PM locally.
None of the Crazy Lesbians and Looney Libs that actually pay taxes here are watching.

As boxes of Rocks go... Dizzy Lizzie, the Wanna be Fauxchaontas made her intellect “Perfectly CLEAR”

Whadda DOPE.

“People hate attacks. And that’s all we’re seeing from Dems”.

That’s true. But how many on our side or on the fence actually see or are aware of the attacks?

I talked to an elderly conservative lady today and she had no idea about Rand Paul having his ribs broken or Ted Cruz being harassed at dinner.

Dems have most of the energy in the mainly blue suburbs, so we will lose Comstock and similar RINOs who are lukewarm at best for Trump. I don't know much about other areas but I suspect most red state house races will go to the Republican, but not enough to offset the suburban losses. There are suburban housewives who have become political for the first time in their lives.

The good newss is that all the wierd and weak candidates that the Dems are running will hamstring them in 2020 along with worthless and failed attempts to impeach or otherwise grandstand. Ttump will blow them all away in 2020 as his coattails flip the house back, get rid of Doug Jones, hold red state seats where a lot of R's will be up for reelection. Won't get the Senate to 60 in 2020 but will keep a strong majority.

Well, the RCP average goes against what I believe my grade school teachers taught me, which was never to average percents. And as far as things like ‘margin of error’ that only means that if you take the poll in the same way each time you should get the same answer within that margin. It has nothing to do with accuracy against the target goal of a given poll: dummy in... dummy out within the margin.
