Republicans currently maintain a substantial 246-to-186 edge over minority Democrats in the lower chamber – a 60-seat bulge. The 114th Congress began with the GOP holding its largest majority since 1931 – the final Congress before the Franklin Delano Roosevelt tide.
Democrats would need to pick up 30 House seats to grab the majority and reinstall House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, of California, into the speaker’s chair she was forced to abandon after the 2010 Tea Party rout.

Even if they all lose the GOP will still have a comfortable 40 seat majority. The House is in no jeopardy.
“The 114th Congress began with the GOP holding its largest majority since 1931...”
And yet, look where we are, today! I’m so, SO tired of not being listened to.
Here is the list, not including open seats:
1.) David Jolly (R-FL)
2.) Crescent Hardy (R-NV)
3.) Robert Dold (R-IL)
4.) Carlos Curbelo (R-FL)
5.) Bruce Polquin (R-ME)
6.) Scott Garrett (R-NJ)
7.) Mike Coffman (R-CO)
8.) Will Hurd (R-TX)
9.) Frank Guinta (R-NH)
10.) Rod Blum (R-IA)
That's only the top 10. But even so I don't see how the Democrats pick up 31 seats short of a complete melt-down of the GOP at all levels. And that ain't happening.
Can’t someone just make Pelosi go away?
THat is great to read. Thank you.
RE the Ten:
Here’s the qualifying factor for me:
Which of them support Trump (keep), and which of them are either on the fence or nevertrumpers (F***’em).
David Jolly (R-FL) NeverTrump Turd
I live in Jolly’s district. The thought of having Crist as my Congress Critter is nauseating. If I didn’t have to travel this week for a funeral, I’d volunteer for a Jolly phonebank.
Never heard of any of them, so in all likelihood useless : )
It is actually irrelevant. In the event of a Hillary victory, the GOP majority will continue to behave as a collection of political eunuchs, even if they PICK UP seats.
Only a Trump victory will have ANY consequences.

And some not-so-likely, but possible, targets:
Kevin Yoder
Cathy McMorris-Rodgers
Fred Upton
Mike Bishop
Jackie Walorski
Blake Farenthold
Robert Pittenger

Garrett is actually a good guy, even though he has been silent on Trump. A rock solid conservative. New Jersey has two other Representatives from the same area: Frelinghuysen and Lance. Both liberal RINOs.
” The 114th Congress began with the GOP holding its largest majority since 1931 – “
And they’ve utterly squandered it.
Assholes. I hope they lose.
I read the headline and at first I thought it said “10 Most Valuable Republicans in the House” and I thought “there aren’t any.”
If they’re squishes, it does us no harm to lose them. Even though the thought of losing ANYTHING to the dems galls the crap out of me...
