In case you haven’t heard, we have an election on Tuesday. All 435 House seats are up for grabs and one third of the 100 Senate seats will be voted on next week. The political pundits are assuming the House will go blue again and no one seems to think the Democrats will win a majority in the Senate. With the current political climate, polls are extremely unreliable and recent historical trends might not be an indicator of what is going to happen next week. Two things remain certain though. This is a pivotal election that will determine the future of the Trump administration and turnout will be much higher than the typical midterm election.
Democrats have been in the minority in the House since Obama’s first midterm in 2010 and they need to flip 24 Republican seats and keep the 194 they currently hold to win the majority. Looking back at Obama’s first midterm, he lost his superelection as most first term presidents’ parties tend to lose power in their first midterm election. Earlier this year, less than 50 seats were considered tossups or leaning toward one party or the other, based on the averages of a few organizations. Today, the battleground map has changed with possibly more than 100 competitive seats up for grabs in the House.

Resoundedly, it will be Republicans.
Republicans.
Just posted this on another thread.
There are some really BIG implications ahead.
Please consider;
Trump stands firm on the “migrants” and seals the border.
Republicans retain control or even pick up seats.
The rest of the entire Western World will go nuts!!!!
Conservatives around the world will become empowered and will vote out all these retarded Leftist/Globalist that have been lying to them for years.
Anyone want to compare the Trump crowds to Zero’s puny ones?
I think the Republican majority will be narrowed by about half. Slight shift of a half dozen to ten seats, I’d guess. Nothing like a wave or even normal mid-terms for the party out of power. Why?
Kavenaugh!
Thanks, Dems!
There is an interesting Zogby poll out recently. Hispanics overwhelmingly support border control. Perhaps those Arizona and Texas US Senate seats can be saved.
Republicans will expand their House majority by more than three dozen seats
Dear Lord, let it be so.
I think it will be a stunning victory for the Republicans.
Come on, the Dems will claim victory EITHER way..!
They do this every time.
I think the upset winner will be the GOP, which will keep the House by a whisker.
There shan't be a BLUE WAVE at all; the hype is just that and a lot of lefties whistling past the graveyard.
THAT is what they will say.
Heart says Republicans hold/gain House and keep Senate, gut says Democrats stun and take both and massive blue wave in state/local elections nation-wide....
Democrats will claim victory regardless of who actually wins because voting is racist.
Who is Heart?
I know “Gut” must be a Leftist, I’ve seen their polls.
I dunno. I always have to ask myself, am I just listening to what I want to hear? But you look at the size of the crowds, you look at the polls with a touch of reasonable skepticism... I mean the Dems talk about about hiring busses, free Uber, to get voters to the polls. Me? I don’t need a free ride. I would crawl, and I live in a state and a district where it ain’t going to matter how I vote. But I will vote anyway. And all the Trumpers feel the exact same way...
huh?????
Barring Democrat voter fraud on an epic scale, no way there’s a massive blue wave.
Just saying what I hope/fear....hope the Republicans stay in power in both houses and can withstand the DEMs/MSM fury/attacks/etc. to 2020...and afterwards...
