Because of the GOP tax bill, we will lose seats. How many, I don't know. But there are (I believe) 34 GOP House seats in CA, NY, NJ, and IL alone.

Even if the individual GOP Congressman from these states voted against the overall bill, they will be targeted by the Democrats.

For months now, some of here on this board were warning about this, but the warnings fell on deaf ears. For the most part, they still are.

They should’ve done half-SALT rather than a $10,000 cap. A typical wealthy city dweller would still be able to itemize then, although they couldn’t count the whole thing. They could still be able to deduct $30K to $40K easy.

1/2 * (income + sales + property), baby!

$10,000 cap is torture for good, productive conservatives trapped in these blue gulags.

Fortunately, I think enough Democrats, if they’re not absolutely blinded by hatred for Trump, would come along in the House and Senate for a 1/2-SALT fix retroactive to Jan. 1.

That's what happens when you become so blinded by vengeance on your enemies (SALT deduction for "blue states") that you end up punishing your friends as collateral damage. (TEA partiers et al in "purple" swing states).

Law of unintended consequences.

At this point the only way to keep the House is to make it all about race and the immigrant invasion, both legal and illegal, the deliberate attempt over the last 55 years by the Democrats to change the demographic of the nation into a white minority in order to maintain perpetual power.

This will be the last opportunity the right will have to strike the American left so hard that they will never recover.

If we fail, they will surely do the same to us.
