To be a pessimist, I'm worried that if we don't hold the house, it could turn into an impeachment shitshow for the next two years.

If the dems take the House we would have to look to Nancy Pelosi to be the adult and deny her kids their desire to impeach.

Scary.

I expect that we will not only pick up significant senate seats but also significant house seats.

I made large bets with a couple of my liberal friends prior to the 2016 election that Trump would win right after the "grab her by the pu**y" audio was released. My cocky friends thought it was easy money.

My thought process then is the same as it is now. The polls that most people live and die by are flawed. Let's assume that they're honest for this argument, and that's a very big assumption, in my opinion.

I live in Dallas in the 32nd Congressional District that has been held by Pete Sessions (R) since 2003. While Dallas county is majority democrat, my area is largely republican. However, if you drive down the streets of my neighborhood, you will not see a single Sessions or Cruz sign in a front yard. You will see TONS of Beto signs. If someone visiting from out of town were in my car with me, they'd probably assume the area is heavily democrat and Beto is sure to capture the majority of the votes from this area. I can ASSURE you, that will not be the case.

Why? Because the vast majority of conservatives prefer to live their lives in peace and not risk their house being vandalized or have a nut-job liberal come yell in their face, or worse.

My bets before the 2016 election were made because I was positive that the pollsters were not getting an honest response from a large percentage of those polled. I've heard countless people admit in small circles that they voted for Trump but weren't about to go public about it for fear of the left backlash.

TL;DR - The psychotic left has a much smaller group of supporters fired up to vote on 11/6 than the media would portray. There is still a lot of reasonable democrats that are not in favor of the FAR left approach and will likely sit out the midterms if they don't vote republican. I PREDICT THAT WE WILL PICK UP MORE THAN 5 SEATS IN THE SENATE AND ANOTHER 10 - 20 HOUSE SEATS.
