With this Senate map the GOP only gaining 2-3 seats would be a GOP disaster. Par should be gaining 6-8 seats, a good years gaining even more. With so much of the Democratic House vote concentrated in 70%+ urban Rat holes, and the overall national generic House ballot close to tied, par should mean more 50-55% GOP seats than 70%+ Rat seats, roughly as we have now. Which would still be an improvement with so many RINOs retiring to be replaced by new, more conservative, members. A good GOP house year would be gaining another 20+ seats.
The Rat minority is cooked in by their own identity politics: if they don’t have the 70-80% urban Rat districts they can’t give the radicals, blacks and latinos their demanded seats. They’d have to settle for old style, traditional, moderate, WHITE democrats members if they wanted to ungerrymander the blue states to obtain a House majority. And their internal identity politics won’t allow for that. The lefty media is no longer powerful enough to overcome that. Their vote fraud resources are less effective at the House level as it is they are mostly concentrated in districts they’d win without fraud.
GOP strength at the state and local levels, IF they’ll use it, should minimize vote fraud crossing House district or State boundaries. Whether the traditional GOP establishment can gets its act together enough to actually use those advantages remains to be seen. That the Turtle and his co-RINOs have pushed so many Trump nominations through the Senate with the narrowest of majorities offers some evidence that the national GOP establishment is learning to fight from Trump, rather than continuing to fight against Trump. And, although the Rats having been pouring private lefty megabucks into many races the RNC has a LOT more money to spend than the DNC and may well spend it more timely and effectively than the crazy lefties.
Just because the so called “wisdom” has the party in power always losing in the midterm election does not mean it has to be so. Remember this is a total different time and remember we have President Trump, who won’t allow it.
I have said from the get go, long before Kavanaugh, and the Dems going completely crazy that the GOP should gain 6+... And if the winds blow just right they could hit double digits....
The Kavanaugh fiasco, and the further left wing crazy have certainly done their part to move those winds closer and closer to “Just Right”.
Gop only gaining one or two seats is ludicrous on its face... The saddest part of this cycle to me, is the GOP isn’t even trying to fight for any of the upper midwest.... in this environment, the GOP should EASILY take 2 of the Senate seats in the states Trump flipped up here, but they aren’t even fighting for them.
