Politico: Say, Republicans Might Hold Onto The House After All

Yeah we’ll lose House seats for sure.

I personally know several voters who are going to vote Republican for Senate to support Trump, and then vote Democrat for the House seat to support Maxine Waters.

LOL!

NOBODY is nuts enough to do that.

[RipSawyer]

“...improved Democrat vote manufactury.”

They HAVE TO cheat! They have absolutely nothing positive to campaign on, only their hatred of the first president since Reagan to offer a positive vision of the future.

[BradyLS]

It all sounds good. It’ll be great for sure when we all VOTE on November 6!

[marygam]

I agree. Trump will show again in Florida and pull Desantis and Scott to victory. I already sent in ballot. Voted red down the ticket! Simple as that.

[fortheDeclaration]

Yes, Desantis has been a disappointment and has distanced himself from Trump, who got him the nomination. I thought he was made of sterner stuff.

Just remember, 435 is not a sacrosanct number. If we had 100,000:1 ratio of constituents to reps, redistricting would not be a problem. At all. That would be 7x the number of reps now. 435 was good for 1911 when the number stopped going up.

The Apportionment Act of 1911 (Pub.L. 62–5, 37 Stat. 13) was an apportionment bill passed by the United States Congress on August 8, 1911. The law set the number of members of the United States House of Representatives at 435, effective with the 63rd Congress on March 4, 1913.

VA is loaded with freaks!

[lasereye]

A lawsuit challenged whether they had the right to do that. Is that still active?

“ Flush with cash “

I wondered that as well, I don’t think they are flush with cash or they’d be talking about it 24/7. I suspect fake news

[Mozzafiato]

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

Trump economy. Silicon Valley is awash in cash and, ironically, using it to try and punish Trump.

Last I heard was the PA Supreme Court drew the districts and that was it. The PA GOP didn’t even try to impeach them like West Virginia did. I don’t believe SCOTUS was reviewing it.

[Bommer]

We will gain 10 seats in the house and 4-5 seats in the Senate and the Democraps will say it was a victory!

[a fool in paradise]

[snarkytart]

you do understand house seats are more localized? You can have an R senator win, but a few RAT congressman win too, all in the same state.

[wgmalabama]

IMHO - radical and unconstitutional courts need to be burned to the ground. Communists are like ticks. Once they dig just their heads in they start sucking the life out. Got to burn them off.

By the time President Trump is reelected in 2020, the snowflakes, astroturf, and other assorted trash from the Demagogic Party will be overdosing on their anti-depressants. I'm looking forward to that.

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

Could Republicans do the unthinkable on November 6th and keep a majority in the House?

It’s only “unthinkable” to leftists who believe the lies of their dishonest media, “pundits”, and manipulated polls. These people don’t think. I’ve never expected a “blue trickle”. Look at the big picture: LOTS of people gave jobs and got tax-reform bonuses, Democrats exposed in Kavanaugh hearing, Trump has done a good job, everyone knows the media is biased and lying (except those who are brain-dead), R voters are energized, the Christian component of R voters is praying and voting, international relations way up, ... Besides all this Trump WINS. He is campaigning with his typical energy and strategy. I can’t think of one reason Ds think they will do better. It’s all worthless talk. This election will be 2016 redux. I’m expecting to see media sour faces Nov 6.

You do know that picture was photoshopped, right?
