Could Republicans Break the Usual Midterm Curse and Hold the House?
Unleash Prosperity ^ | 02/16/2025

Yes, but if they are to have ANY of holding majorities next year, they need to deliver quickly on the Trump tax cut.

The midterms are just 20 months away.

The good news is that President Trump is having a good run in the opinion polls. CNN digital data reporter Harry Enten reports that Trump has had a positive approval rating for 21 straight days so far in his second term. During his first term, he had a net approval rating in only 11 days.

A new analysis by the election handicapper Cook Political Report finds Republicans favored to keep Senate control with the only two toss-up seats they found – Georgia and Michigan – currently held by Democrats.

As for the House, going into 2026, Republicans will likely have only a five-seat majority (220 to 215) when all vacancies are filled. But the Cook analysis lists only 18 seats in its Toss Up category. If the two parties split those evenly, the GOP would end up with a majority of 222 seats – two more than what they now have.

But if conservatives fail on the tax cut, and American families are facing a $3,000 tax increase next year, they deserve to be routed.

Makes sense. He wouldn’t want to upset the status quo if he was getting paid the whole time!

The funding from the Democrats propaganda machine has been shut off.

Only matter of time till Trump does audit on elections.

I think Democrats (and corrupt Republicans) are toast.

If they fulfill their campaign promises they have a good chance.

And keep telling people what garbage the Democrats DO when they're in office

Truly evil what these Democrats support and promote

Democrat Joe Biden was continuing to do Satan's work
in Democrat Barack Hussein Obama's third abomination:


Hang this "transgender" thing around the neck of the Democrats - it's their pet project (one of many, like radical abortion)

Small wonder Democrat Joe Biden is on-board with pope-a-dope Francis - A Godless Reprobate intent upon doing his father Satan's work (John 8:44)



Pastor Greg Laurie:

This is really hard to believe.

(Democrat) President Biden issued a proclamation recognizing March 31 as Transgender Day of Visibility.

This is also the date of Easter where we celebrate the fact that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. What is the president thinking?

This is a profound insult to the sincerely held religious beliefs of millions of Americans on our holiest day.


America needs God more then ever and yet this is the stance the White House takes.

It’s time to turn back to God not turn our backs on God.

We need to repent and pray for a spiritual awakening in America. It is our only hope.

I think the Republican House is in trouble because they’ve got the wimp for Speaker, and he will not pass Trump’s budget as far as I can see. He can’t round up the troops because he is not a leader. And maybe he doesn’t want to.

Trump will succeed or fail by November 2026.

If the GOP sticks together (I know, I know) and if Trump is successful with what he promised to do, then the GOP will gain seats.

Hmmm...
Tough choice: Should they just continue their patented perpetual circle-jerk, or grow a pair and act like men?

IMHO, it’s 60-40 that the circle-jerk continues...

And some point Trump needs to figure out a way to tackle vote fraud. The republicans would have a far larger majority if the democrats were not stealing seats.

You will notice that despite the losses and the poll numbers the rats have not moderated one bit. They know that they just have to cheat just a bit more. They almost got the House despite a Republican Presidential landslide.

I believe the Democrats sealed their own fate by latching on to “transgender” and all of the other madness

People are disgusted and starting to fight back - or at least walk away - which is a good sign

Speaker Mike Johnson is a RINO. Majority Leader John Thune is a RINO. Deep State made that happen.
