Ryan will get more than a golden parachute. He will be a very wealthy man for betraying the President and leading the GOP House into the minority. It will be a lot more than 30 pieces of silver.

Razor thin margins...

Well, either that’s the nearly 50-50 split between makers vs takers, or...

I hope to Heaven there was no vote rigging going on.

Anyone know how many districts R’s lost that were recently gerrymandered?

Its half a loaf.

We saved Fla.,my state, from the ravages of communism and got rid of the free loader wild bill nelson but lost the House. It's truly amazing it wasn't worse.

There has never been such a biased press in the history of the country that worked against us solidly for over two years. By all rights could have been much worse were in not for DJT's efforts.

When you add up the dollar value that a biased press gave to the dems you gotta thank your lucky stars it was not far worse.

Ryan is cabal,his wealth is somewhere like qatar in gold real estate, art or who knows what. Only to be collected by some unnamed lawyer in a few years and transferred through a dozen or so sham corps to enrich the deep state Ryan.
Taking Ryan’s place from the cabal is Mitt Romney who is higher up than Ryan. No telling what his mission is.

Good post the fact that these far lefties came as close as they did tells us we must take back education in the US or pay an increasing price.The minds of our kids are being poisoned from day one in public schools and we have let it happen.Needs to be stopped.
If all they know is socialism is great,being gay is OK,and muslims really aren't terrorists the end result is what we saw last night. The left preaches an “anything goes mentality” with no religion, no values, and no restraint. It creates chaos the overriding goal. We have to stop it or pay the price.

Exactly could have been far worse but wasn’t thanks to DJT and his endless rallies that showed the world who he really is and what real Americans think of him.It may have saved a true collapse.

So while a win tonight would definitely be better than a loss, this loss is not permanent. So please put away all sharp objects until you regain some historic objectivity.

Great post,I'm still laughing! We will take back the House in two years and the next two years will be so good no one will ever complain. Problem is very few will ever know what transpires.Trump does not telegraph his moves.

Yes, I agree totally. Non-stop hostile media day-in, day-out. Takes its toll. Country may need some more pain before the voters come to their senses. I am so happy for FL outcome. Too close for comfort, but thankfully turned back that commie. And a well deserved win for Scott.

Texas was a huge democrat state maybe through the mid 90’s. Remember Ma Richards?

But the 7th was always solid even when the state was democratic. I worked on the hill in the early eighties and at that time the house was so democratic, I couldn’t imagine a R majority. And then came Newt Gingrich.

Texas 7 is the old seat of Bush 1 and Bill Archer. Bill Archer would regularly win with 70+% of the vote.

"And why do you think they always finish last. Don’t count them out for making up the votes they need for the democrats to win. There is a lot more than vote counting going in those places right now."

___________

Along those lines, do yourself a big favor........

Go get yourself a copy of the book:

VOTESCAM by the Collier brothers.

It tells a riveting tale of those counties and CHEATING during the Janet Reno era.

****

A GREAT (easy to read) BOOK.

_________

VOTESCAM

https://openroadmedia.com/ebook/Votescam/9781504019903

by James M. Collier, Kenneth F. Collier

The groundbreaking investigation into the corruption of American democracy, beginning at the voting booth This book is the culmination of a 25-year investigation into computerized vote fraud in the United States. Journalists James and Kenneth Collier pose the question, “Why can’t we vote the bastards out?” Their answer: “Because we didn’t even vote the bastards in.”

Votescam fills in the blanks for anyone who senses that their ballot is worthless, but does not know why. It tracks down, confronts, and calls the names of Establishment thieves who silently steal votes for their own profit. It comes face-to-face with the Supreme Court justice who buried key vote fraud evidence; the most powerful female publisher in America, who refused to permit her newspapers and television stations to expose vote rigging; the Attorney General who jailed Jim Collier to avoid an investigation into vote fraud; and a cast of weak-kneed, corrupt politicians, lawyers, and members of the media entangled in a massive crime, but who have yet to be held accountable.

First published in 1992, this groundbreaking exposé has been updated by journalist Victoria Collier, daughter and niece, respectively, of the late James and Kenneth Collier, and editor of Votescam.org, to reflect modern threats to American democracy. As computers grow ever more powerful, the need to read Votescam is increasingly urgent.

... Clown, did you see the gains in the Senate ...

Cruz narrowly defeats a socialist in TEXAS. A planned parenthood lawyer ousts a 7-term conservative in HOUSTON. A community organizer socialist narrowly lost the governor race in FLORIDA. A Daily Cos democrat almost won in ARIZONA. A kick boxing communist defeated a moderate republican in KANSAS. I could go on.

Socialism has infected TX, FL, AZ and the heartland funded by deep pocket billionaires, championed by the fake news media, our universities, Hollywood and social media. There are no more conservative safe havens. Future elections will even more difficult. Clown.

"Clown, did you see the gains in the Senate? The Senate is now Collins, MooKowski and Romney proof. Flake is gone. The GOP can ram through as many federal judges as we want.

No more Kavanaugh Circus ......"

_______________________________

Good points.

BUT, the country is in BIG TROUBLE as long as:

1. Billionaires can spend so much money on certain candidates....

2. The schools/colleges keep spewing out millions of relatively ignorant "graduates".

and 3. TOO MANY WOMEN are so damn dumb/emotional when they vote. It's truly sickening!!!

Most women/females supposedly look for a strong, reliable and good man to spend their life with, yet they can't take a little rough talk by President Trump. They make me ill!

BY the way ................. WHY ARE some very rich guys allowed to spend millions on a political candidate??????

I thought there were LIMITS on what you could give a candidate.

“3. TOO MANY WOMEN are so damn dumb/emotional when they vote. It’s truly sickening!!!”

I have an acquaintance here in FL who is in her late 40s, and came here in the early 90s from a communist country. She hates socialism and illegal immigration and can talk all day about the ills of both.

BUT. After the school shooting in FL, she became completely anti-gun. She was going to vote for Gillum last I heard because he opposed guns. She didn’t care about socialism, just wanted gun control. Idiot.

“biased press ...worked against us solidly for over two years...”

and never forget the biased public education curricula across the country that has been teaching socialism for over two generations (since the 60’s). If that is not changed very soon, we will not have capitalism/ free market in this country after 30 years or so.
