Democrats see Harris as boosting their chances for House majority
The Hill ^ | 08/27/24 6:00 AM ET | Mike Lillis

Democrats are increasingly bullish about their chances of flipping the House now that Vice President Harris, and not President Biden, will sit at the top of the ticket in November.

Coming out of the party’s national convention in Chicago last week, a long list of lawmakers said the eleventh-hour roster change has led to a flood of new volunteers, a spike in campaign fundraising and a burst of new energy among base voters, all lending new hope that they’ll win back control of the lower chamber next year.

If the fraud is stopped, if only legally cast ballots are allowed, the Republicans should hold and gain in both houses of Congress.

This is the deep state focus now. Stealing congressional seats. They know Harris can’t win.

The Red Wave that Never Happened was due to the Dobbs decision in large part. The inflation that FJB inflicted on us with his EO’s was the catalyst for that.

There are two real issues for this “election”:

- Inflation
- Immigration

It doesn’t matter what sort of cheerleading BS the Ratz stage over the next two months. The insanity of the Biden-Harris “administration” should be front and center, with Trump being the antidote.

I know our Presidential candidate choices have been pretty grim for Decades, except Trump or Reagan. But never before have I seen someone who is very obviously stark staring insane like Harris inspiring enthusiasm. The Leftists are truly unhinged.

ha ha ha ha ha HA!

whatever magic mushrooms the D’s are smoking,
IneligibleHarris is... meanwhile...dragging down the entire D party ticket (at Congressional and even the local level)

ha ha ha

(my bet is that this article is pure smoke and that they KNOW that Harris is poison for the D ticket. How can they get the Hell out of her running?! is the question of their day (and it is probably why they’re driven to taking drugs)

The Dobbs decision was partially responsible for the red wave not happening. Lindsey Graham’s proposal for a federal law nation wide outlawing abortions after 15 weeks, turned the tide so to speak. It certainly turned Minnesota more blue.

And the timing was perfect-just a few weeks before the November 2022 elections. /s

What do you feel has changed since 2020?

Trump should go to Montana every two weeks to ensure we get that senate seat. We get that along with WV and we have majority and can at least stop the worst crap getting through if the worst were to occur.

Thank you for referencing that article TexasGunLover.

"Democrats see Harris as boosting their chances for House majority"


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

First, I understand that Harris's parents were not US citizens when she was born. If such is the case, then she's not a natural born citizen (NBC) imo, therefore not constitutionally qualified to be either POTUS or VP.

The broader issue is that, despite the political argument that NBC is not defined in the Constitution, it is defined in the Law of Nations, international law at the time that the Constitution was drafted.

The significance of Law of Nations is that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, is that despite political party and MSM smoke and mirrors that NBC is not defined in Constitution, Jay had clarified that Law of Nations is as much US law as the Constitution is.

Excerpted from the writings of Chief Justice John Jay:

"That you may percieve more clearly the Extent and objects of your Inquiries, it may be proper to observe that the Laws of the united States admit of being classed under three Heads or3 Descriptions—
1st. all Treaties made under the authority of the united States.

2dly. The Laws of nations [emphasis added]

3dly. The Constitution, and Statutes of the united States—"

John Jay’s Charge to the Grand Jury, the Circuit Court for the District of Virginia, 22 May 1793

Getting back to misguided Democratic hopes that Dems win control of the House, if corrupt elite Democrats are indeed guilty of alleged 2020 ballot box fraud, then Democrats need to lose all their seats in House under Section 2 of the 14th Amendment as far as I'm concerned, that section a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred.

Note the zero tolerance, "hair trigger" wording of Section 2.

Excerpted from 14A:

In fact, when elite Democrats recently unilaterally threw out the 14+ million votes that OBiden won in the state primaries, they unthinkingly violated (blatantly ignored?) Section 2 (imo) and should lose all their seats in the House, not that they would have done things differently if they had known about that section.

The constitutionally reality is that, since worthless career federal lawmakers and renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are enemies of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to take the first MAJOR step in draining the DC swamp by effectively "impeaching and removing" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.

In other words, it's now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.

Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.

VA 7 is tied. Vindman must be defeated.

Dobbs will kill the Red Wave again this year. Women are organizing to restore abortion on demand, and they’ll win it in the states where it’s on the ballot. That means Republicans on those ballots will likely lose as well.

To: Bob Wills is still the king

In my unscientific polling by casually talking to women about what they think (feel might be a better word) about Kamala, I’m seeing about two out of three women think that Kamala is who they’re supporting. I think it’s the “anyone but Trump” mentality.
