In 2008 we went from 199 down to 178 and that was a big Dem wave, in 2010 we went from 178 to 242 in a GOP wave.....to even hold that position we would be looking at more or less the same % as 2010 as its a high threshold, maybe more. The higher the number, the harder to hold onto.
If the pollster are saying this is a D+5/6/7/8 election there is no way in hell we could hold 242 seats, its impossible.
That’s exactly what I’m saying. Ive been making this point at work for weeks, too. How can the GOP basically hold all of their house seats and also lose the presidency? It just doesn’t seem possible in today’s partisan environment. I wonder why this hasn’t been discussed by the talking heads?
