GOP Poised to Hold onto Key House Seats in Ohio’s Competitive House Races
Brietbart ^ | 10/09/2018 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Republican candidates are poised to hold onto five key Ohio seats in the U.S. House of Representatives just four weeks before the midterm elections. Those five seats currently held by Republicans in the 1st, 10th, 12th, 14th, and 15th Congressional Districts are among the 61 seats currently held by the GOP across the country that Breitbart News identified in July as “must-win” in order for Republicans to maintain a one-seat majority in the House of Representatives. (In addition, the GOP must flip three Democrat-held seats).

In the subsequent two and a half months, changes in circumstances have now placed all five of these races in the likely Republican win column in November.

The improvement of GOP fortunes in Ohio ariseS from both national factors–the strength of the economy, the improved job approval rating of President Donald Trump, and the “Kavanaugh effect”–as well as local factors, specifically the surprising weakness of Democrat candidates in these key races.

The rats thought there weren’t any easily flippable states in 2016 either.

You doubt WR will win? He is better than a Demon even if it is just by a little.

He’ll win, unfortunately. But, he’s far worse than any Democrat. He’s a Deep Stater within the GOP there to maximize damage to our side. He helped sabotage Palin in 2008, he was a ringer for Zero in 2012, he personally recruited Egg McMuffin in 2016 to try to help elect the Butcheress of Benghazi. He’s extraordinarily dangerous, treacherous and treasonous.

Every Republican is better than any Democrat.

Looks like we get a Democrat seat in NHD1 with the Republican Eddie Edwards.

Not when the Republican is a Democrat as Scum Willard is.

It would be nice, but polling data I saw for that seat had Edwards way down.

Best to stay positive. Defeating the Satanic left represented by the Demoncrat party is paramount.

Yes, don’t vote: That will show them. You get rid of Rinos in the primary: You get rid of democrats in November.

Which is a very very sad statement. But yes, just when you think Democrats can’t be more degenerate...they show you.

Not if Romney wins - Romney will win in a landslide and it won't matter that much if the GOP gains 4 or 5 seats. In that case, Romney's one vote is less important.

However, if the GOP maintains a 51-49 split in the Senate, Romney can and will leverage his vote on almost any issue. It is like having McCain back in the Senate and they will have to deail with Romney to get his vote. Sigh.

Please reconsider and vote for Joyce. Giving away a seat because you didn’t vote (or hundreds like you) is penny-wise, pound-foolish. Joyce is still better than any Dem. Don’t let pettiness hamr MAGA.
