Gee, and yet we continue to outvote them in early voting! No way the Democrats pick up 23 seats, GOP holds the House.

In many ways this would be even a better victory than in 2016 if the GOP keeps the house.

In 2016 we didn’t have the two years of media abuse and lies. Also 2016 was such a shocker, they had to blame it on lightning striking (Russian meddling). If 2018 they lose again that will be lightning striking twice. The odds of that are next to nil. You’re about as likely to want the $1B lottery. So that will be all the evidence we need to prove the media is biased and lying their ass off. And then we can even laugh louder at them. And even some more of the middle people will see the truth.

Yes, we’re way past due on this. There should be zero public funding for biased news sources.

Taking that position is a big mistake. Certainly, at the Presidential level, the pundits were completely wrong. However, they were pretty close on the House races during the same election. Could they be wrong again on the House races this year? Certainly, but you can’t predict that based on the outcome of the Presidential result in 2016.

I suspect that they have made a different mistake this year, but I won’t know if my hunch is right until Wednesday morning and if that happens it will be because of faulty turnout models. I still think that we keep the House with a 5-10 seat margin.

It would only mean Republicans in Congress would have to work hard in November and December this year.

Trump’s veto power will keep Democrats in check.

Yea, the GOP voters knew the GOP candidate would win or didn’t really care. The Democrats were all fired up and still lost! And of course they neglect to mention the Special Election the GOP won a few weeks ago in Texas when a GOP State Senator flipped a Blue county that hadn’t gone GOP for over a hundred years!

... a fact top Republican strategists all but concede privately...

I call BS. Does the rest of the piece name names, or is it "sources say"?

Yeah, we could take it to the bank that Hillary was going to win, too.

“Trump’s veto power will keep Democrats in check.”

If there is a Dem House majority, Trump won’t have to use his veto if the Republican Senate does its job. The President only gets to veto when both houses of Congress pass a bill.

Hopefully Romney, Collins, Murkowski, Sasse, and some other RINO’s will not “compromise” and vote yes on Democrat bills sent over from the House.

“Here’s Why Democrats Are Confident They’ll Win The House”

because they’re stupid? or because they know how many fraudulent absentee ballots they have hidden away?

The DIMs are lunatics. If they “win”...everyone loses. Is is pathetic that the LIB/DIM losers can’t see that. Be prepared.

Quote: “. . . a fact top Republican strategists all but concede privately less than a week before Election Day.”

Always the same old tired technique. Use named “top strategists.” As if we didn’t know who the heck these guys are. They are comprised of either Steve Schmidt, Bill Kristol and any bevy of NeverT rumpers or made up folks in NPR’s newsroom who once upon a time may have voted from a Republican.

I hear Al Franken is personally driving Buicks with trunks full of missing ballots to all districts where the Democrat has a chance of unseating a Republican.

They concede Dems are confident. Read the article. Dem’s confidence could be misplaced.

I wonder what the Trump Hidden support is. He has one no doubt, 1%-3%, 4%,5%, anything above 3% is wishful thinking to me.

Either way, I think we’ll have new youtube video of sad faced dems during the election results pouring in and streaming snowflake tears from those dems who swore they were going to win.
