Dems will not take House.
I agree. It is more likely Republicans will hold the House. Downside is that Ryan’s Never Trumpers will then remain in power. I’d like to see them all swept out.
I hope not, but the ‘rats are certainly making a big effort.
Dems have zero chance of taking the Senate, while the probabilities of Republicans increasing their members is certain and should be at least 4 more,
Republicans keep the Senate. Dems make gains in the house, but won’t take it.
Second that,
But adding the following reasons.
1. Registered Republicans are at an elevated level of motivation that is is rarely seen during a mid-term election.
2. Democrats have fatally over estimated (taken for granted) support from demographic groups who traditionally vote Democrat.
3. The Democrat message/narrative is so narrow, it’s hard to tell if they are trying to motivate angry lesbians or illegal immigrants. Either way, they have wasted their powder on a group who will vote Democrat anyway and a group who can’t legally vote anyway.
4. Despite their differences with Trump on several policies, unions have seen something under Trump that Obama could not deliver, JOBS and with those jobs, union worker’s paying dues...
5. After the housing market crashed in 2008, many,many, many home owners became renters. 2018 , many have returned to homeowner status.
6. Did I mention, JOBS. Apparently Trump has a magic wand (Suck it Obama).
7. Do you know how many Democrats have spent years without a full-time job, good benefits or hope for the future. Now imagine how they felt when their take home pay increases after Trump/Republicans reduce the amount of taxes they were paying in. (Only ones left out are the moochers who can no longer pawn their liberal state tax burden off on us)
8. Remember how EPA policies were made to NECESSARILY cause coal, oil and natural gas production costs to SKYROCKET. Trump ending of Obama EPA policies have removed the shackles and allowed those industries to compete and dominate their markets.
9. For multiple decades, we have watched our jobs dwindle as factories closed down and/or moved operations to other countries with less compliance, taxation and lower wages. Thanks to Trump’s spine and negotiation skills, trade deficits are being balanced and a level playing field is being restored (Americans are still bad asses when it come to productivity - on a level playing field, it’s still not a fair fight. I almost feel sorry for our competition.... Winning!)
10. After many, many presidents... Finally, one who delivers. And that is a huge motivator. Have you ever had a parent, teacher, coach, boss or friend who was tough, demanding and wouldn’t let you slack off or take short cuts , they made you stretch and strive for every inch of ground you gained. But in the end they were the one(s) who would tell you how good you are, how much better you could be and would be the first to stand up for you. Trump projects that and people feel it.
I think the democrats are in for a tragic night of reality checks that will expose their deficits....
“Dems will not take House.”
I am growing more confident with each passing day that Republicans will hold both houses.
