Hate to be so cynical, but who cares if the GOP keeps the House. The majority of them are Democrat Lite. Mia Love, once touted as a rising Conservative star is nothing more than the ultimate RINO, as are the other 24 that signed the letter demanding amnesty.
If that’s what we call having a Republican majority, w/ Ryan at the helm, who the hell cares. They haven’t done much.
Ryan is gone in the fall. :) Jim Jordan is coming....we need as many Freedom Caucus members in the vote as possible

That’s a silly thing to say. You don’t have a clue.
“Hate to be so cynical, but who cares if the GOP keeps the House.”
The reason why is very, very simple: impeachment. If the Dems get control - whether it is Nancy Pelosi or some other Leftist idiot in charge, they WILL impeach Trump on some pretext. That the Senate may not even take up the trial end of that process (like with Clinton), or if they do and the Senate votes NOT to convict, doesn’t much matter - just like with Clinton, Trump’s most effective days will be behind him. Me, I like the vast majority of his judicial choices; I like his strong national defense policies and the people he’s put on his foreign policy/defense team; I like his tax policies (they aren’t perfect, but they’re a damned sight better than any Dem’s policies); I like his slashing of regulations and his willingness (even eagerness) to shove the Dems’ faces into steaming piles of dogcrap every chance he gets. Impeach him, and those days are pretty much over, and I would bet that he wouldn’t even seek reelection (and, if he did, it’d be MUCH harder to accomplish).
So, if you prefer some Leftist hack to be POTUS on 1/20/2021, then don’t care about whether the Republicans maintain the House, don’t contribute to any of them, and stay home that day instead of voting. OTOH, if you actually give a damn about the future of this country, you’ll get out there and support your district’s Congressional candidate and vote for your Republican Senatorial candidate if that seat is up for grabs. It is really that simple.
And, NO, this is not a choice between the perfect good and the perfect bad - Trump and his administration are surely not perfect, nor will they ever be so. But “compared to WHAT?” is the real question. The Dems are not perfectly bad...but they’re lots closer to that than the Pubbies are to perfectly good. Remember Patton’s maxim: “The perfect is the enemy of the good.” I’ll take good anytime, but particularly after the Obama’s 8 years, and the revelations about how his underlings have completely hijacked our judicial system. You want guns banned, taxes raised, amnesty for illegals, etc., etc.? If so, stay home.
