When a liberal bill is up for a vote, Pelosi will allow conservative Democrats to vote against the legislation as long as it doesn't jeopardize actual passage of the bill. This is so the conservative Democrats can campaign for re-election as conservatives.

Every seat the Republicans gain is one less seat the conservative Democrats can use to vote against their own party.

CORRECT!!!

231 is pretty bad actually. That is as big a margin as we had last Congress.

Question: what are the top 20 most likely "RETAKE" seats?

Yes, the Democrats need a big majority to shelter their 'blue dogs' from liberal votes.

they cannot have them 'walking the plank' like they did in 93 for Clinton's tax increases.

The more Republicans we have, the less likely the House Democratic leadership is going to try to ran through radical legislation at the expense of their vulnable members.

When we were in charge, we had to consider the same thing in regards to our moderate Republicans in Blue States.
