The GOP has the Senate. The Democrats have the House. I wouldn’t support court packing regardless of which party wanted to do it.
I KNOW we have the senate and not the house. We need the house. These commies get control of the senate to go with the house and Trump wins reelection, he will get no where with anything he wants to do. Nothing!!
We’re in agreement. That’s why I posted this thread. But unfortunately it didn’t really catch fire.
One more ping
Yeah. I know. It seems most may not think we have a chance to get the House back. We need something like 35 seats or so to do that, and I have read, yes from the MSM, that we may even lose the Senate this time. If that were so, even if Trump won, he wouldn’t much accomplished in the next term. We could lose three or four Supreme Court justices in the next four years. Several are VERY, VERY old. In their mid-80s or so. If Trump does win, and if we can keep the Senate, I wish those older conservatives would retire now and allow Trump to fill their positions with younger Conservatives because we know if he does win, and does not get to replace them, then in the next election, probably a DimoMarxist wins the election and he will replace them with devout Marxists. Thomas is in his 80s I know. The others I am not sure of. But, they don’t need to hang on like Ginsberg and die in office and allow a DimoMarxist to replace them. I hope it goes that way. I hate to lose Justice Thomas. I wish he were a lot younger but that time has passed.
I would add WA-08 as a potential R pickup in November.
Sean Trende noted she was in danger according to the Washington State Primary he follows.
Here is some info: “Schrier pulled in just over 43% of the vote in the August Primary (coincidentally, the same percentage former District 8 challenger Dino Rossi accrued in the Primary before losing to Schrier in 2018’s general election). The next highest vote total was for Republican Jesse Jensen at 20%. Jensen is a military veteran and former Army Ranger, having served on four combat tours. He’s endorsed by former Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna, as well as Congressmen Dan Crenshaw (Texas), Mike Gallagher (Wisconsin), and Mike Waltz (Florida).
Combined, Republican candidates totaled 49% of the vote in the Primary, while GOP voters outnumbered Democrats by a 51% to 49% margin.”

Brett Kavanaugh, 55
Elena Kagan, 60
John Roberts, 65
Sonia Sotomayor, 66 Samuel Alito, 70
Clarence Thomas, 72
Stephen Breye, 82
I thought I had read Thomas was older than that. But, I was wrong (wasn’t the first time!!) I must have been remembering Justice Antonin Scalia.) My bad.
Are you kidding?
Need to flip a net of 17 Democrat seats to regain the House.
Good. Maybe we can flip the 35. That would be a nice round, okay unround, figure.
As an aside, a friend works for a NY state agency, Conservative as can be. She was appointed union shop steward, since no one wanted it, a couple of years ago. She alerts other conservatives to volunteer as spots opens. Now 6 out of 30ish shop stewards are good guys.
1/5 instead of the traditional 1.5%. We'll take what we can get! LOL
Military veteran Sean Parnell* of PA-17outraised his incumbent opponent for the second quarter in a row. Impressive!
Not too shabby for a party stagging toward November, supposedly trailing by double digits and the POTUS almost out of cash & losing NC. :-D
I wish I could find a cave to hide in until this is over. I’m really hoping and praying for a republican house and senate.
I hope Sean Parnell whips Lamb like a rented mule. :^)
Don’t be cruel to animals! You sound like a Democrat. LOL
MN-2, definitely in play.
NH-2, Kushner was deemed safe, but is now competitive. Not sure why.
