The “flip 17” number is correct.

The article is confusing, because it does not identify which seats are currently held by which party. Some of the close races where the Republicans are leading are currently held by Republicans.

PA-17 is over, sadly, but good for Parnell to not give up. If the Republicans can invalidate fraudulent PA ballots (yeah, right) then Parnell wins and so do 2 other Republican challengers in eastern PA (PA-7 and PA-8).

If the results stand, maybe we get PA-7 and forget the other 2.

If R lead down-ballot then we should take POTUS.

That’s simply not true. A lot of these GOP gains are in districts that have pockets of conservative and moderate voters in deep Blue states like New York and California.

What do you think about this proposal? Stranger things have happened, right? And it would end Nancy P’s Reign of Error.

C’mon, dude — you’re smarter than that. Think rationally.

Look at your own House district in New York! Your Trump vote didn’t do him a damn bit of good, but your GOP House vote helped flip that district.

Fox also announced immediately that democrats would increase their majority.

That’s an interesting thought, but the more likely scenario would be the minority party cutting deals with a small group of “moderate” Democrats to support a Democrat House speaker in a district that was Republican up until 2018.

Republicans in the House should all vote for AOC for Speaker. She will make the ‘RATs into even more of a laughing stock!


I like this idea. I like this a lot.

Court ordered redistricting overturning the GOP legislature drawn districts.

You are right. That would be ideal. Some meaningful legislation paring back the Regulatory State could then be passed and also sail through the Senate, lobbyists notwithstanding.

Numbers are confusing.

I did read 3 incumbent Rs lost House seats. Not sure where they fit in the numbers.

I think that is the post of the day.

BTTT.

Great idea! We can’t get our person voted in, but we can help make the Democrats sorry about their own party.

I speak of trends.

Perhaps more than ever I wish I was in a beer pub with my FRiends as we hash this out.

The fact this election is even in doubt tells me the USA as we know and love her is done. Gibmedats have won the day. The takers overtook we makers.

Trumps coattails are only good for everyone else if we are to believe the lying dems and press.

Almost 48 hours after polls closed in Pennsylvania, the Associated Press named GOP Incumbent Scott Perry the winner of the hotly contested and pricey race against Democrat Eugene DePasquale in Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District.

Hey Nancy......enjoy the suck.....2 scoops

So we are looking at 220 to 216, very narrow majority. Pelosi may well be gone.
