My only concern are “surprises.”

Every election has some. Remember 1994, and the either the House Speaker or Maj. Leader from WA was voted out??

Or Roy Moore, who managed to convinced 685,000 Republicans who voted for Shelby 12 months earlier to stay home?

As long as we don’t get 4-5 of those, we’re good.

Well, you just know the Resistance Media is hanging on every word out of a pubbies mouth hoping to find a gaf to take them out with.

So far THEIR backfires are humongous and our guys are behaving.

They even tried to make something out of “Horseface” but countering with that vile tappers video negated Trumps tweet.

You're thinking of Rep. Tom Foley (D-WA), who lost the speakership and his seat.

The real surprise was the Democrat Party loss of control of the House. By the early 1990s, the presumption was that the Dems had an institutional lock on the House. They had held a majority for forty years, since the 1954 election. Before that, the GOP had only had a majority for four years since 1932.

When the GOP won 256 seats, a gain of 54, and the majority. D.C. and the establishment were in utter shock. Nobody thought Newt Gingrich of all people, with his "silly" Contract with America, could pull that off.
