The Polls are baloney, we hold the House and take 5-7 Senate seats.
Rs pick up 1 net in the House.
:)
Senate was NEVER in play... always was going to be a gain for R’s... folks claiming a D win of the senate were either liars, or flat out ignoramuses.
Even before Kavanaugh I called Senate 6+ GOP, and if the winds blue just right they could get double digits.
Kavanaugh and the insanity since has done just about everything it can to move those winds to “just right”.
House, honestly without Kavanaugh the GOP was going likely lose the house.. since that fiasco... see absolutely no way the GOP doesn’t hold the house... and honestly would not be surprised if the GOP wound up gaining few... Time will tell.
My assessment is as follows:
Women in suburban districts are usually political independents and can vote either way. Generally they will swing toward Dims this cycle.
(Ultimately, they have no core values).
When all said and done the House majority will be 2-5 seats, either way.
And we pick up 5-7 in the Senate.
Depends on if we get over the margin of fraud which has gotten significantly higher since 2016 when they bought they had already adjusted for it.
I “feel” the same way I did in 2016. I knew Trump was going to win. I did not trust or pay attention to the polls. I just watched the news when almost every night Trump was holding another rally with 10,000-15,000 people. He did at least 5 or 6 of these a week, for more than a year. I also knew he was going to win because I talked to a lot of people that were quietly voting for him, but were afraid of speaking up too loudly in fear of getting beaten up. But on the sly, they would give us the thumbs up. I feel the same way this year.
I hope we get at least enough adds in the senate to allow us to tell MurCOWsko and Collins to sit down and shut up since we would no longer need them for a majority vote. I still dont trust the GOP enough to wish for a super majority that could overide a veto by President Trump.
7+ gained in the Senate.
10-15 gained in the House.
The economy is amazing. Unemployment is historically low. The world is safer. The vast majority are thrilled with what Trump has done.
The only way any other outcome is remotely possible is through massive election fraud. If that happens it must be punished immediately.
We will... We will lose Corker and Flake.. but we will gain Romney...
GOP will net gain more than 2 seats in the Senate. So Murkowski, Collins and Romney will be checked... at least for things that just need a simple majority.
If the GOP does gain 9 or 10, they will have influence because most things in the senate need 60 votes. But for pure majority things, like Judges... THANK YOU HARRY REID... They will not be able to derail anything.
If we do get to the numbers I expect, I hope Murkowski is stripped of all her committee seats.
Trump is hugely supported, the Senate was never in play... the real race has ALWAYS been the house.....
The Kavanaugh affair was the single dumbest political move I have seen by any party in my lifetime....
IN one foul swoop, the Democrats engaged and enraged an apathetic GOP base, and angered the hell out of the middle as well.... They were skating to an easy house win, and just blew it all to hell....
We will see how it all plays out, but the GOP will win significant Senate seats...
The House is the only thing of consequence this election cycle... and if the GOP gain seats in the house... the crazy will be unleashed all over again... because they are completely incapable of accepting they are losing.
My prediction: Dems net pick up of 25 seats.
I hope you guys are correct. I will be so glad when it’s over.

Hillary is not at the top of the ticket. 5% no shows for women that voted in 16. Obama not on ticket. Hillary lost several percent of the ‘12 black vote. The slide will continue. Young not nearly as motivated as the older adults. Trump working the voter fraud issue. A long way to go on that, but little or no increase is a possibility. I think we hold both houses and pick up a few suprise wins.
on a certain level, it makes sense that the rising GOP tide (as evidenced by the likelihood of picking up several Senate seats)should float all boats ... also i’m guessing a lot of pissed off folk are going to vote straight GOP rather than spend a lot of time trying to pick out the possible one or two “good” Democrats on the ballot ... as bad as any GOP candidate may be, ANY Dem is going to be worse ... plus, once a person who’s descended from a multi-generation of straight-ticket Dem voters breaks the pattern a single time, the mental shackles really do fall off and a certain amount of thoughtfulness can begin ...
Collins did just fine with Kavanaugh ... she was clearly the designated cleanup batter for the GOP Senate and her speech justifying not just her vote but all votes from the GOP brilliantly covered and analyzed every relevant issue ...
I am in agreement with you even after today’s arrest regarding the pipebomb incidents.
If The GOP holds the house, what will the Dems blame? Certainly not the electoral college.
Agree, house stays red by a few and shoot the moon in the senate.
