At FiveThirtyEight, the forecast gives the GOP a 1-in-6 chance of holding the majority, ...

The same group that predicted President Hillary would win with less than a 5% chance of Trump pulling a miracle.

They’re somewhat chastened by their 2016 experience, but cling to faith in the new, improved Democrat vote manufactury.

.
GOP will do way more than hold on; they will definitely add seats.

We’re picking up seats.

I hope so, but after the PA Supreme Court giving the Democrats several seats due to their unilateral redistricting that may be harder than normal.

It is starting to dawn on them. They are at the oceans edge, watching the water outflow and wondering what that means.

Exactly. Some people are forgetting about pro dem redistricting.

We’ll lose seats in the house for sure, but will the loses equal a dem majority? It’s going to be an interesting night.

Yeah, I think people forget at how vulnerable republicans in the NE are, especially after that partisan decision by the SC.

The 2016 experience did not just fade back into the woodwork, you know. The spirit is still alive, fanned into open blaze with the vile and underhanded attack on Brett Kavanaugh, and the blatant doubling-down by Elizabeth Warren of her lie about Native American ancestry only added fuel to the fire.

Besides, Herself said the Republicans were not deserving of any civility, which was a statement designed to support Maxine Waters, but is coming back, to bite Herself in her own ample gluteus maximus, right along with the “basket of deplorables” tag Herself put on the Republican voters and others who supported Trump in 2016.

I love it when the Democrat-Socialists all take aim at their own feet and so seldom miss.

I’ll throw in my lot with the “we’re picking up seats” crowd. What are the Dimms running on? It’s not 2006 or 1974. If anyone but Trump were president, I’d say we’ll be lucky to keep the House. We’ll see. I’m walking over broken glass to vote for any relatively pro-MAGA organism.

They all could not help themselves...they are talking like they have already won the House and the real people behind the masks are coming out.

They have written a lot of checks to their voters that they may not be able to cash. The “crazy” wing of the party will burn down a few cities, but the rest of the faithful will be so disappointed they will reach for the extra large bottle of valium. It could the end of the party as we know it.

Here in OH, the Republicans finally have a message. Instill fear of mobs and the future if dems get in power.

Just like the CNN analyst that said three days before election night when asked what Donald Trump needed to do to win:

"He can't win. There is not one scenario where he comes out on top. He has absolutely no path to 270."

People make judgements and establish their beliefs based on the information they read, see and hear.

The Kav effect is Finally easy enough for most 10 year olds.

THE MEDIA IS NOTHiNG BUT a BUNCH of LIARS and PROPAGANDISTS

The cat (Cougar) is out of the bag

The Dems are completely bankrupt of anything based on civility, common sense or truth.

And the last thing they are capable of doing is governing others fairly and effectively.
