Gollum wanted to turn Florida into a California!
Oh, please. John Stossel gave Hillary an 80+% chance of winning two years ago, and also gave Brexit the same chance of being defeated. So much for his “accuracy.”
Losing the House was almost predictable. With 40+ Republicans vacating their seats, the GOP had a much tougher campaign than usual to defend their majority.
I think the fact that the House margin is that narrow is a victory in itself, considering how we limited the losses.
And if I read this right, the ones who lost were RINOs—those who didn’t try to sabotage the House by retiring as well.
So in other words, the House is almost exactly the same as before, just with an outright globalist as Speaker instead of a hidden globalist.
A loss is still as loss.
You’ll probably find that most GOP House losses were in districts that Hillary Clinton won in 2016. A RINO was probably the best you’re ever going to get in those places.
What you said.
Is a loss a loss if it was unavoidable?
Check out the results from 2010 and 1994, Obama's and Clinton's first mid-term elections. This is miniscule in comparison.
I think the only first-term President to gain in both the House and Senate was GWB, and that had a lot to do with 9/11.
In football, the purpose of the “spread” is to prompt half the customers to bet on each side. The bookies look forward to earning their 10% from the losers. Is political gambling industry based on different biz model than the football spread?
Are we ever going to build this flipping wall?
honestly and bluntly..
No..
Trump will have to take the money from the military to get it done.
Thats a risky bet.
.
There’s no splitting hairs. We lost the House. This means the Democrat scum will start the clap trap about impeachment, even though there is no grounds for it and they’ll undo the tax cuts. Hells bells, when we had the majority they didn’t use it.
How are they going to do that? Read the U.S. Constitution!
Yes, the House can pass a repeal of the tax cuts, and even if the GOP-controlled Senate passed it too, the POTUS still needs to sign that bill into law.
Are you saying the House will vote to repeal the tax cuts, the GOP Senate will pass it too, and then President Trump will sign that bill into law?
If not, then what in the hell are you talking about?!?!
Yes, if most of those GOP Senators stay, we likely hold the House.
True. Parties run house or senate, not individuals
Gillum isn’t going anywhere. He will become a media darling like Beto. We haven’t heard the last of him.
And Florida isnt going to stay purple much longer. The voters in this state just gave felons back their right to vote. Florida goes blue startin 2020.
Not only will they not do that, but they will work with Trump to make middle class cuts permanent. They will pass some infrastructure spending.
We can kiss any chance of controlling spending good bye. (not that there was any) But Trump will get a few things and talk about them on the 2020 campaign trail. Then he will talk about the obstructing, resisting, one term and out, Democrats. The worst case for them is they try to impeach. They might not get the votes because not all Dems are that stupid. But if they do, he will release documents in his defense that will make a very good case to impeach Obama.
He will win in 2020 regardless, but if the Dems are stupid he will win in a landlslide with huge coattails.
