And don’t forget, there are other potentially competitive House races out there. Such as OR-04 – Alek Skarlatos*. Fill us in on the details!

It looks like perfect GOTV weather nationally on Election Day (day 3 on map). Thank you, Lord.

Thanks...this looks pretty encouraging....

Would love to see SanFran Nan grudgingly hand over the gavel once again...

Let’s give Jim Jordan the gavel and really knock some heads together...

If I remember correctly, over 40 GOPes retired right before the 2018 election. With that happening The Mickey Mouse Party could have taken control of the House.

It’s going to be much different this election.

“Let’s give Jim Jordan the gavel and really knock some heads together...”

The RNC should be running stories that: “...When the dems lose and if necessary we are prepared to have the military take the Gavel from Pelosi...”

Coop, do you have any information about independents and how they might break? They are a tremendous force out there and yet as far as I know we have very little to go on respecting their impact.

Of course, my hope is that Trump has coattails enough to carry these seats along with him especially since I believe, without overwhelming evidence, that he will get the independents.

Your thoughts?

That is my first choice. POTUS needs a strong ally, not another Ryan.

The Des Moines Register poll of Iowa yesterday showed indies breaking strongly for Trump. They favor him by 14 points, 49-35. In 2016, IA indies favored Trump by 13 points, and he won the state by nearly 10 points.

I love this excerpt from that poll:

Among those who have already voted, Biden leads 55% to 32%. And among those who have yet to vote, Trump leads 64% to 28%.

I don’t mind the low profile of the GOP Senate and House campaigns. This is exactly how 2016 played out.

[JeanLM]

The Democrats in Trump districts will have a problem if there is no ticket splitting. The Trump wave if there is one could do the job. People don’t usually split their ticket.

[nathanbedford]

This trend has welcome implications for the House.

Thanks for your good work.

Well hopefully we retake the house. But don’t look for Jim Jordan to get the gavel. To become speaker you need 218 votes. Most GOP reps are moderates. That’s how you always get guys like Ryan, Scalise or McCarthy. Look for Scalise to be the new speaker if we take back the house. Maybe McCarthy.

[Pollard]

It would be nice to see us get back some of those “harvested”(stolen) seats in Cali that we lost on 2018.

I think McCathy has already laid claim. Jordan would be my choice, he’s been a warrior in the hearings.

[DIRTYSECRET]

My friends Lamb in Pa-17 is the key. A pretty-boy vet who won by 17(2018) in a district Trump won by 3 in 2016. He supposedly is a moderate who does what Pelosi says. We have our own vet running-not so pretty.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Jordan would also be my choice but unlikely to get enough votes. We are on the cusp of electing a supposedly very conservative doctor/veteran to GA dist 7 house seat. Rich Mccormick.

[Red Dog #1]

Don't forget about Amash not running for reelection.

[AZJeep]

AZ-2 (former McSally district) was always moderately Republican. Even Az-9 could be in contention, especially if AZ State students skip the vote.

Here’s to a RED wave down the ticket.
