The Districts That Will Determine the Next House Majority
University of Virginia Center For Politics ^ | 02/02/2018 | Larry Sabato

Posted on 02/02/2018 2:41:37 PM PST by Az Joe

Republicans 221 Democrats 195 Toss-Ups 19

In sketching out a potential path to a bare Democratic House majority of 218 seats out of 435, we found that in all likelihood the Democrats will need to win similar numbers of Republican-held seats won by Hillary Clinton as well as by Donald Trump in the last presidential election. Clinton-won districts are not enough on their own.

Democrats should gain seats, but on the face of the seats currently available to flip, we’re unsure if they can net the 24 seats they need to win control.

It is not enough to elect people in R jerseys if they are Bush League Republicans hell bent on amnesty for 30 million new Democrats.

AZ is being set up to elect Flake’s replacement as Amnesty Senator.
The Bush League Republicans are using Joe Arpaio’s ego to crowd out Kelli Ward, who is the reason Flake is quitting.
They want to sneak in McSally.

This schmuck should turn on the TV so he can see the RATs imploding and the American people reading all about the RAT’s treasonous dirt used against the American people and our President.

Sabato is not usually worth a listen.

LOL.

This is just fantasy.

If the economy goes into a recession, that’s possible.

Highly unlikely though in a 5.4% growth economy.

And voters vote their pocketbooks.

Larry Sabato is a politically biased Liberal pug with a taxpayer financed political institution of his own, within academia. Virginia taxpayers should be ashamed that they finance is partisan political operation.

People will have to decide that they really don’t like keeping more of their own money. I don’t see that happening.

A Dem party operative and usually dead wrong .

This Left wing clown announced that G W Bush could never win in 2004 .
Impossible he said .
Dead wrong again .

Then this Dem party fraud hide he worked for the Webb senate campaign
and went around trashing his opponent as a unbiased pollster on the radio and cable shows .
He got caught.

I despicable Dem fraud .

I think I was the only one who was close. I had Trump at 286 EVs. I missed PA & WI for Trump, NV & NH for Clinton

Even this liberal hack is admitting that the dems will likely not take the house. That means we are wayyyy ahaed. But trump will need to rally the troops to the polls in november. Key harbinger is the penn special election in march.

Trump has bottomed out already, Republicans are on the rise now almost to even with the Democrats in the polls and so long as all play their hands correctly, unified government will continue into 2020.
