Rather than %, where do you see 24 flips? (I’m not going with 25 in case Paulsen in MN offsets the other flip we’re getting there).
I can’t get past 15, even giving Ds the benefit of the doubt.
Lets see, just spitballing here
Current seats (including R vacancies) 240
MN, gain 2 lose 1, 241
PA: Lamb beats Rothfus but offset by open seat gain. 2 other certain losses. 2 other possible losses (Dent seat and Fitzpatrick). I think Fitz wins but lets give them both so -4, 237
AZ, -1, 236
CA, Lose Issa seat, Several other seats at risk but I’m most worried about Knight so lets say -2, 234
CO, Coffman -1, 233
FL, I think we hold 26 and 27 but for this excessive let’s give the rats 27, 232
IL, they are targeting Roskam and Bost, I think Roskam wins but lets give them that one, 231
IA, Blum looks 50/50 now, most important race in the country maybe, let’s give it to them, I don’t believe Young loses, or King despite the long knives. -1, 230
KS, Yoder, -1 229
KY, I never thought Barr would lose, can’t see it
MI, 2 seats at risk, I think we hold them but let’s say rats win the open seat, 228
MT, lots of media polls showing a tie, no
NE, Bacon was saved when the Berniebot won the rat primary
NV, let’s say the rats hold their open seats
NJ, 1 certain loss. District 11 vulnerable, I don’t see it. but let’s say -2, 226
NM, Open seat vulnerable, close polls, but come on, that would be #240+ for the rats, I don’t think so.
NY, Tenney most vulnerable. Faso could still lose, I don’t think so but let’s give them both. 224
Maine, GOP hold
NC, doesn’t look like rats will gain
OH, ditto
Texas, tritto
Utah, Love vulnerable, I think not but let’s go nuts and give it to them, -1 223
WA State, the one race there looks like a GOP hold
West Virginia, very important race, the fake populist dem trails, GOP hold.
VA, Comstock is a goner I wager. 222
Let me go ahead and give them Young in Iowa, 221
So they need 4 more with this PESSIMISTIC “small poo wave” projection, a lot of potential losses but I’m not betting rats do that well. CA fraud machine probably their best bet to go over the top.
A rosy projection has us holding 233 (-7 net).
The median would be 227 R.
