Antifa Effect? Yes, the Rioting Is Starting to Impact the House Races
Town Hall ^ | Sep 3, 2020 | Matt Vespa

While two months ago, the retaking the house might have seemed like a stretch, but if these lefty clowns keep burning buildings, assaulting cops, and forcing Democratic mayors to flee their residences, then it could be within reach. Patrick Murray commented on Monmouth’s polling of the House races and found that in the six most competitive contests this cycle, the generic Republican is ahead by 10 points...

We still have a long way to go, but with Labor Day upon us—more folks start to pay attention. If the mayhem in the streets, thanks to leftists continues, expect more shifts across the board.

I had been having serious doubts about whether we could take the house and keep the senate. It seemed like a long shot on the former, and a risk on the latter to me.

As the days go by, I think we're really seeing the presidential election trend to Trump. If he can whoop Biden pretty bad, the house and senate can't help but improve their chances, too.

It'd be nice to see the ridiculous house investigations stop, and turn the tables and do the same to them.

In 2020, Republicans are defending 23 seats and Democrats at 12. This has advantages for the democrats.

In 2022, Republicans are defending 24 seats and Democrats at 12 This has advantages for the democrats.

In 2024, Republicans are defending 10 seats, the Democrats 21 and independents caucusing with the democrats at 2. This has advantages for the republicans.

History usually works for the party with the fewer seats up for grabs, of course. That party can spend more money on the closer battles.

If the GOP can keep their majority it would be awesome. As we all know, the party not in the white house typically does better in the mid-terms. So, keeping the majority no makes it much harder for the democrats to win the majority in two years.

In my area people are getting their rifles ready for hunting season. It is a bit early but I guess they want to be prepared.

I've thought for months that the pubbies should adopt this mantra:

Vote Republican, oust every Democrat in every office in every city, county, state, and federal position, unless that Dem has in some way supported the president.

It's time to get rid of the Democrat-socialist-communists in our country. Get them ALL out of office.
