Just wondering out loud. Do you think that President Trump will have enough "coat tails" to help the GOP flip 20 house seats?
If he can, then a lot of this impeachment BS goes away, at least for a couple of years.
I think the Repubs will pick up 10 or 11. But this will embolden Democrat Boll Weevils to stand up against Nancy.
Not a sure thing, but very possible.
And then after the victory will come the usual disappointment.
“...On this day in 1994, the Republicans won control of both houses of Congress for the first time in 40 years.”
“...the 54-seat swing from Democrats to Republicans.”
“...34 incumbent Democrats were defeated...”
“Congress runs into ‘Republican Revolution’ Nov. 8, 1994”

History, often repeats itself.
If God wills it, certainly. He is the one who will determine our fate. Not the GOP or DNC.
Nice thought, however Demoncrats are so consumed in hate...hate and anger blinds one from all reason....the good word also states it consumes and destroys....bye bye Demoncrats, that bunch are walking dead and don’t even know it.
Let me put it this way. The GOP cannot flip 20 House seats in 2020 and Donald Trump will never be elected President. /sarc
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
I dont see any problem with voting Republican ticket.
Insights welcome.
Something like 35 states allow ‘no excuse’ mail in or absentee ballots. These must be requested by the voter. The problem is with ‘all mail or universal mail’ ballots where the state gov floods the market with unrequested ballots. I think 9 states are now doing this. that’s where the issue really lies.
The FAKE Russian Collusion narrative also helped the Rats take the House in 2018.
The 40 GOP Cowards who Retired, including Trey Gowdy BTW, made it that much easier for the DEMONcRATS to take over and go on to ram through the Impeachment of POTUS Trump.
it’s up to us, isn’t it? It’s up to us to knock on doors, hit the phone banks, coordinate with nursing and residential homes to assist with the vote, get the memes out on the internet, donate $1 or $10 to campaigns, whatever we can do.
50 days people. Make it rain Republicans.
I agree. that sounds overly negative.
I hope you are proven right. But I have been keeping an eye on the electoral map and the polls. At the moment I am seeing nothing that suggests we have any hope of taking the House.
Currently there are 232 Democrats, 198 Republicans with 1 Libertarian (Amash, whose seat we will likely retake) and four vacant seats. For a majority we need 218 seats. At the moment there are 19 Democratic seats where we are highly competitive. Unfortunately there are also 11 GOP seats that are in serious danger. To regain the majority we would have to flip every Dem seat in those 19 tight races, lose none of our own endangered seats, and STILL pick up some seats where polls don’t see any realistic likelihood of it happening. Sorry. As much as admire your optimism, I am a realist, and that aint happening.
Best to focus our efforts and limited resources on holding the Senate. If Biden wins, AND the Dems have control of Congress, the next couple of years are going to be unpleasant.
What happened the last time we held the house, senate and presidency.....
We got John Roberts, and nothing else...
The economy was unleashed.
No way Republicans gain anything or hold the Senate or relect Trump because of the continuing finding of mail ballots weeks after election day. Covid and the Biden up by double digits polls are to set the stage for the fraud. Courts will allow vote counting until well into December.
My prediction has been D+15.
Trump is going to have coattails like you wont believe. We sweep it all.
We also got the largest rise in entitlements and neverending wars... Fubocare will never be repealed, rogue judges will continue on without fear ( does anyone really think the GOP will perform it’s duty and impeach even one judge?)....
