I thought 218 happened last night (per Trump's speech, and other media projections).

Whatever... Sounds like it's finally official! Glad to finally kick Pelosi off the podium! (Not happy with RINO McCarthy though)

Post 17 should read that BOTH OF THE WINS WAS THE 218th

Not Garcia with 219.

Both Kiley and Garcia identified as 218.

218 mish-mash Republicans better than 218 democRATS any day of the week.

You can never get 218 rock hard conservatives. That is a fantasy. Reality is country is not majority pure as wind driven snow conservative. Live with reality or live in delusion.

“If they win every district they lead in it would be 222.”

They’re at 218 currently. Kiley and Valadao (CA), and Boebert (CO) lead their respective races. So am I missing one?

I’m figuring Alaska’s Republicans (combined) are winning over the Dim and will likely eventually win out (Palin’s race).

here is what is ironic, there is a good chance the final split will be 222 to 212, and yet the media is trying to spin this as a loss when THAT IS THE EXACT MAJORITY THE DEMOCRATS HAD BEFORE THE ELECTION!!!!!

You took the words right out of my mouth.

We eke out these “victories,” and we’re so thrilled. For what? Even when we had the House, the Senate and the White House, they did nothing. Thank you, Paul Ryan. I’m glad the old crop is gone, but will the new crop be any better? I guess I’ve just become jaded.

RE: NBC & SeeBS just called the house for the GOP. 😃

I didn’t watch, of course.

Was there a lot of sobbing and heads on next person’s shoulder? Stagehand with mops for the wet floors?

Remember the old string of “the moment networks had to call the 2016 election for Trump as President over Hillary”?
Video classics.

Speaker Nancy.....

The last time. Never again. A prune dipped in sauerkraut and covered with dark chocolate is unique but not edible.

The Supreme Court had clarified in Reid v. Covert that federal power to approve treaties cannot be used as a backdoor to expand the federal government's powers.
"The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution." —Reid v. Covert, 1957.

But regardless that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the federal government the specific power to regulate marriage, post-17th Amendment ratification renegade Senate Democrats and RINOs are now abusing the Constitution's full faith and credit clause by trying to use it as a back door to expand the feds powers to attack the 10th Amendment-protected powers of the sovereign states to define marriage imo.

Historically speaking, regarding the full faith and credit clause, consider that at one time if you were 18 years old and living in a state where minimum drinking age is 18, and you visit a friend in a state where drinking age is 21, then your state's lower minimum drinking age did not follow you into your friend's state.

That’s if they can overcome the dem through that obnoxious “ranked choice” voting scheme.

Oh, I know! It will never happen. Having 218 rock hard conservatives in the House was just on my 'wish list' :-D

I don’t know or care that some here think she’s a lightweight.

Those are some of the FR male NeverTrumpers with tiny little manparts.

A real woman like Lauren Boebert gives them "shrinkage", like George Costanza in Seinfeld.
