You can't have a Red Wave if Republicans won't fight for each other.

The Republicans are not even fielding a contestant in 39 out of the 435 seats for the House. Dems are without a contestant in only 7.

Well, get out your checkbook and donate to Rothfus et al. They can’t prevent that.

39 of them are in solid blue states. But the Republicans should go on the offensive in those districts where they have a fighting chance of unseating the incumbent Dem. But again, the rank and file Republicans are still free to donate directly to candidates they think deserve it.

Why is that I wonder. Are any of those in places like Kali where the two most populous primary candidates go to the general, regardless of party?

Most likely because no politician wants a loss on their record by running in a non-winnable district.

Democrats will not take back the House. There is no reason to believe Americans who love our economy as per Gallup and Harris two left leaning operations and as per Gallup favor Republicans for first time in 10 years will abandon Republicans for an empty bag of socialism. Stay calm.
BTW Republicans are winning the Hispanic vote and doing better and better among Blacks because of #walkaway movement.

The Democrats will show themselves as very unworthy of being given leadership in the next five days.

Want to know what is important? Democrat Senate Campaign Committee has apparently abandoned Menendez in New Jersey and Cox is just 3 behind Newsom.

Don’t panic just go out and donate and work and vote with friends and family.

Why waste time and resources on districts you can’t win? The 39 uncontested Dem seats are predominantly in urban areas heavily populated by minorities. It is just an inconvenient truth.

Exactly, this propaganda never ceases to run out of steam.

Perhaps the subject is valid, but the wording tips an article like this off as some sort of propaganda/fake news article

McConnell is also doing nothing to help Braun beat Donnelly while Dems are throwing millions into the race

It is an open secret that House districts are drawn in order to ensure a majority of single party voters, and it has been that way since at least the 90s, when the GOP accepted “minority districts” in return for drawing the remaining districts to be largely right-leaning. It is why the House never changes: if you don’t like the way the House is, there isn’t anything you can do about it, because your Representative has an over 90% chance of being re-elected as many times as s/he wishes—and term limits won’t fix that, because the party will simply groom the next suit or pantsuit for the position.

The Globalist Hill wants the Republicans to do bad. They would want this info released to help the Dems plan.

Because this is a liberal article and its written totally from a negative standpoint for the republicans. But it does annoy me hearing that republicans have less money.
