I have been trying to search around all this chaos and purposeful distraction to find out where we stand with the House and Senate races. It is fairly elusive and yet so important to know right now going into this election. If the left keeps the House and wins the Senate we are right back in trouble again after the election even if Trump wins. They will indeed somehow remove Trump from office and impose a whole bunch of totalitarian laws. We will have gained nothing. Anyone have sources to some detailed study and information about these races so that we can bring them to light?
Thank you before hand...
Unfortunately, we need to lose some of the RINOs.
nowadays people tend to vote the same party for Senate House and President. So we will either have the status quo for a close Trump win, or if Trump wins big the house will go GOP. If Biden wins, they may take the Senate.
Nobody yet knows who will cast votes. Nor which will arrive and be counted.
Nobody.
All race outcomes are more unknown than they have been for the last 100 years.
Democrats lead in all races everywhere except McConnell’s. Everybody is voting for them. Even you and me.
I beg every time for people to pay attention to more than the presidency.
Media are fixated, and so are the populace, which just bolsters my view that humans really do want or expect a king, not a whole committee system.
But we have parliamentary system with many representatives, and we need to include that in promotional campaigning efforts.
We can not afford to lose even 1 of what we have. I don’t care what the purists think of RINOs.
Not good in New York, there is no state Republican Party to mount an offense with actual well funded conservative candidates.

House Republicans should be focusing on who they will pick to be the new Speaker of the House.
It is important for them to keep in mind the the House Speaker is not required to be member of the House.
Tucker Carlson or Donald Trump Jr., could serve as Speaker.

They suck, but they’re still preferable to Democrats winning. Otherwise you lose committee chairmanships and control of the chamber.
If you can replace them with a real conservative, then fine. If you can’t and the Democrat will win if they lose, they unfortunately need to be re-elected.
Alabama’s US Senate seat will return to the Republican Party.
The DemonicRat Senator Jones will lose.
I’ve seen several YOUNG, VIBRANT and VERY PERSONABLE Republicans running for House seats across the country against decrepit, smarmy, DemonicRats and I think almost all will win.
Mitch McConnell isn’t doing anything to keep the Senate.
Unless you have primary elections left in your state, this is NOT the time to get rid of RINOs. Republicans in name only at least occasionally if not reliably support Republican positions or at least support Democrat positions somewhat less reliably and enthusiastically than actual Democrats. There are NO exceptions anymore in federal politics. At one time, one reasonably might prefer a conservative Democrat to a liberal Republican. This is nowhere tenable now.
Realistically, all the Republicans in Senate races this year are in danger of losing their seats. Only five Republicans in the House of Representatives certainly will win in November. The others all face Democrats. In a few races, especially in California, voters get no choice except Democrats.
On the Senate side, no Republicans poll particularly well. James Inhofe of Oklahoma holds the best position, but even he struggles to attain a majority in the formerly deep-red state. If the Democrats surge further into the autumn, then they likely will attain a three-fifths or perhaps even a two-thirds majority in the Senate. Most Democrats except Doug Jones of Alabama have a fairly safe chance of reelection. The Senate will retain 33 Democrats, 30 Republicans, Bernie Sanders, and Angus King, who face reelection in 2022 or 2024.
For the House of Representatives, polls are pretty spotty and rather unreliable. But almost all polls favor Democrats or show Republicans in very tight elections. Current national partisan fervor suggests an environment similar to 2018, but a strong national shift toward the Democrats in the autumn or vigorous campaigning in tight races could lead to big gains for the Democrats. On the other hand, with a strong showing that reelects the President, crafty campaigning from local Republican operatives, and an unlikely spate of sheer luck still may allow the Republicans to net enough seats to take control of the House of Representatives.

“Not good in New York”
Same in Virginia. The democrats who rule this state have never been happier than with the hard left turn it’s made, and there’s no realistic reason to believe the dems who flipped congressional seats in 2018 are in any danger. Mark Warner, aka God to the majority of Virginians, will cruise to reelection. Don’t look for any help from here.
I’m from Ill-Annoy. I got nuffin’....
With all the liberals buying guns, tell them that if they vote for the Dems, they will have their guns taken away. They now must vote Republican or they will have their guns confiscated. Just ask Beto O’rourke. That might just change some votes.
Absolutely, and normally there are pretty close predictions of what seats will or will not flip. And we need to know this and not get caught with our pants down.
Abslutely. I see this as the most important election of my life, and my Grandkid’s lives. We cannot afford to lose even one “place holder” if possible. It is all about the numbers now, a majority at least slows down the leftist power to get away with so much criminal activity.
