House Democrats poised to expand majority, as Republicans warn against AOC takeover
Fox News ^ | 10/31/2020 | By Marisa Schultz

Posted on 10/31/2020 7:21:49 AM PDT by Heff

Democrats are projected to expand their majority in the U.S. House due to an erosion of President Trump's support in suburban communities and a fundraising advantage that has allowed Democrats to go on offense in traditionally red districts, election analysts say.

I think in off-year elections it is common for the party that just won the White House to get complacent - so the Democrats experienced low turnout in 2010.

Meanwhile, Republicans who are pissed off that Obama won and determined to defeat his agenda, are motivated to gain or keep control of Congress because that’s their only recourse.

That is the same reason 2018 was bad for Republicans.

Something like that.

Thereby confirming that the 19th Amendment was a serious mistake! Back then even a sizable minority (est. at 40%) of women realized their “sisters” voted with their VJs rather than their brains!

How many times on social media when discussing a male candidate for any office you see women exclaim “He’s hot!” if the guy is at all attractive? SHEESH!

Very brave of you to say that. Wow, most women would be outraged.

There is one condolence. A LOT of women do actually vote Republican. I’m sure I saw analysis that said most white women voted for Trump. A lot good women go with their husbands. They aren’t all leftist like the media says.

Suburban women are a source of worry this year. Election night will be pins and needles.

Yes, BLM, Antifa and the Governors have contributed to Trump team recruiting.

I have no effin idea what's going to happen election night ... but SOMEONE'S poll numbers will be right ... because the pollsters have all regions of the spectrum covered. Someone will be right...by accident.

Me, I'll be surprised if the GOP doesn't claw back some of the seats lost (or stolen) in 2018 ...

Maybe FOX is trying to scare its viewers into voting.

The hard-working and insightful analysts who are producing hourly reports on this and similar threads make a powerful case that Trump is on his way to victory.
Whether we hold the Senate or regain the House probably depends on the size of that victory. There are already straws in the wind that indicate the Republicans will fare well in both House and Senate. For example, Tillis in North Carolina looks to have dodged the bullet, even Arizona Senator Martha McSally could get carried along by Trump.

We only need 17 house seats to take it back and there are plenty of districts that Trump carried that are in play. There are also straws in the wind, for example, former Congressman Issa looks like he will regain his seat. Republicans are not going to be caught with their pants around their ankles while the Democrats are ballot harvesting in California.

This is not 2018, we do not have a special counsel pursuing a president he knows to be innocent and contributing (along with Rino reps) to our loss of the House.

Finally, I think there is a good chance for a substantial win even approaching a landslide, defined by modern terms, if, as we suspect, the independents break for Trump. If they do I do not think they will be in a mood to split their ballots.

So let’s see how long Trump’s coattails prove to be.
...
Nice analysis...on a couple of fronts...House-related is one...on another, post-PDJT, I can see a Pompeo/Kushner ticket...I strongly believe with Kushner’s work in foreign agreements, people are grossly underestimating him and pigeonholing him into a liberal...I think populism has taken root. I also think Noem could be a VP...not a Pres, but VP. She has said she does not want to be president. Of course they all say that. Her husband spends a lot of time running the business and they do have a few kids, two in college, I think. It is different for women. Donald Jr will be in a more weighty role going forward, likely. The Swamp will be more drained through the second term, and more loyalists will arise and be forgiven for past swamp sins, perhaps with the “trust but verify” PDJT scrutiny and due diligence. He has learned much in 4 yrs. I do think he keeps his enemies closer than most, having a role’s replacement study how NOT to do a role while the person implodes, a la, BARR, WRAY, even Graham...I’ve run on enough.

That’s the same mindset some people who claimed to be conservative used to support Obama in 2008... I thought it was ridiculous then and look how bad it got since then....

Utter and total lifetime crock of Sh*t. The New York Slimes reported a day or two ago that Trump was doing 9% better in Pennsylvania, than in 2016.

And Biden was underperforming Hillary there by 9%.

Any other Doom Porn for us, Eeyore?
