Republicans eye weak legislative districts as Democrats batten down against Red Wave

All 98 Washington state House seats are up in the air this election cycle along with 25 of 49 seats in the Washington state Senate.

Republicans would need to pick up nine state representative seats to get the majority in the House, while they need four seats to take over the Senate. That’s definitely a long shot.

Even if Republicans managed to flip a couple of seats over in the Senate, it would have a big impact on the Democratic majority’s ability to get the 25 votes necessary to pass some of the more progressive bills. For Republicans, the strategy is to paint Democrats as having gone too far to the left, continuing to link them to the “defund the police” movement, and Seattle politics while also blaming them for failing to pass anything addressing tax relief amid soaring inflation despite reaping better than expected revenue.

4 seats to take over the Senate. But in reality we need to have at least 7 in order to stave off the RINOS (traitors) that side with the RATS on everything.

Considering the dems have a 13% popularity advantage in WA, it’s hard to see how the GOP would flip either house in that state.

Fight like bobcats for every precinct that doesn’t touch the ocean. Do it in CA WA and OR.

A MAGA Republican takeover of the Senate and the House is the only thing that will save America from destruction by the evil mob that controls Biden’s puppet-strings.

"Democrats batten down..."

That's pretty funny. The RATs steal elections unimpeded and unchallenged. The "executive" branch is treasonous and is ceding the Republic to third world mongrels. And the head RATs rake in millions illegally.

And nobody does a thing.

Yeah, they're concerned, all right. /s
