The Eight States that Will Determine Which Party Controls the House of Representatives
brietbart ^ | 06/10/2018 | Michael Patrick Leahy

The majority of the 99 seats in the House of Representatives identified by the Cook Political Report as “competitive” in 2018 are in eight states: California, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, and Michigan. Of the 435 seats in the lower chamber of Congress, 336 are not competitive–180 held by Democrats, 156 held by Republicans, according to the Cook Political Report’s ratings.

Only 15 of the 99 competitive seats are currently held by Democrats, while 84 are held by Republicans.

The simple math–24 more non competitive seats are held by Democrats than are held by Republicans–and the Republicans have 69 more seats at risk in competitive districts than Democrats–suggests that the Democrats are well positioned to secure the net gain of 23 seats they need to secure a narrow 218 to 217 majority in the November 2018 mid-term elections.

If anyone can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory it’s the Repukes. And with Ryan’s amnesty push, they just might do it.

Hang on for an astoundingly high volume and magnitude of democrat cheating and vote fraud that will reach levels surpassing anything ever seen before.

To the democrats cheating is justified because (in their minds) only they know what is best for everyone.

Those that undermine a winning GOP candidate by voting for some loser in the Primary.

There are limits to how much cheating can be done.

If they do too much, it becomes public and the game is over.

And even a lot of cheating might not be enough to offset a big patriotic wave - Trump will be using his bully pulpit to the max too.

It’s not cheating.

A lot of people here do not grasp how deeply unpopular the local Republicans have become.

Gee, that’s just like Mitt Romney, who, it’s been said, that he voted for his wife during the 2016 elections, nice eh? I used to think he was okay, not any more....I wouldn’t vote for him no matter what.

Required viewing!!!

The Swamp… a powerful and disturbing documentary. In DeeCee are we seeing political WWE? It looks like a fight, sounds like a fight, but is only theater… all by script with the outcome already decided! If I were Big Money Changer, why support one party over the other, if I can own them both?!?

And Liberals have successfully used tyrants in black robes to do all sorts of monkeying with Pennsylvania.
