In its latest projection, far-left NBC News says the Republican party will narrowly win the House of Representatives by a narrower than narrow 219 to 216 margin.
If this projection holds, that will bring about a big sigh of relief and one of the rare bright spots in an otherwise disappointing midterm result for the GOP.
What was supposed to be a GOP wave — one I was sure of — turned out to be anything but.
When it was all over, Democrats actually increased their hold on the all-important U.S. Senate by one seat. Democrats could increase it further if current Democrat U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock wins Georgia’s December runoff against Republican Herschel Walker. Last week, Warnock did beat Walker by nearly a full point. Because no one topped 50 percent in that race, the state requires a runoff.
A nightmare scenario would give Democrats 52 U.S. Senate seats and control of the House of Representatives. If Democrats win 52 Senate seats, Democrats will not need U.S. Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Krysten Sinema (D-AZ) to pass legislation. That would almost certainly mean the end of the filibuster that both Manchin and Sinema refuse to kill.
Without the filibuster, the Senate could pass whatever insanity it chose — including expanding the Supreme Court, socialized medicine, and heaven knows what all — and a Democrat-led House would rubber stamp it, all of it, everything.
At least with the House under GOP control, there will be a check on the lunacy about to come out of the Senate.
Keep in mind that NBC already blew one House projection. Three days ago, NBC predicted the Republican party would win the House with a much safer margin of 222 to 212 seats.
So.

NBC is off 2-3 More republican seats.
Rope-a-Dope
Well done GOPe.

May God grant that it be true. We need to save what’s left of our country.
Happened to see Schumer and Pelosi and gloating media talking heads for just a few seconds and it was really bad.
At least we have that - the House is a firewall against more lunatic spending by the senile old man in the WH.
You sure?
Unless we get another Paul Ryan leading the House, in which case, we may still be screwed.
Yes!!
That would make my week!
>>NBC is off 2-3 More republican seats.
Hopefully, but a majority is a majority - let the investigations and impeachment begin.
Did GOREvBUSH give them the FIRE they needed to win all the time?
Why do we let news organizations project anything???
Definitely a mandate.
Yes. Investigate Hunter and the whole Biden cartel!
“ the House is a firewall against more lunatic spending by the senile old man in the WH.”
Actually, no it’s not.
There are enough left wingers on The Republican side that functional control on anything of real importance will be with the united Democrats. They will always be able to pull the votes over they need for anything critical, like the debt ceiling. Otherwise Biden will just rule by executive order. McCarthy knows this, so to save face he won’t even try to challenge the Democrats on anything he knows they will go to the mattresses on.
Screw impeachment, which won’t go anywhere. Release the January 6th prisoners, if they want to do something productive and in their control.
What can be expanded legislatively can also be retracted legislatively…
Anyone know if the House has to approve a SC expansion?
