I’m not yet well enough educated on the individual races to know how it’s looking.

If the dims in general continue their blatant assaults on protected liberties, and continue to push for decriminalization of illegal entry to the US along with open borders, and continue to label everyone that doesn't share their viewpoints as a "______ist"...

...then the House will belong to the (R)'s again for sure.

And, this time, they better fricking accomplish something while they can. The Great Orange One has shown them how to win. They need but act, and do it.

You nailed it.

They may get one more chance thanks to the dems but it'll be close and to get anything done they'll have to overcome the obstructionism.

Yes, looks like the Repubs will sweep, just no ideas from the Dems that won’t crater the economy

Pro American and pro middle class Immigration reform and fully funding the wall has to be the first and most important priority for the next trifecta of a Republican President and Republican House and Senate.

The Goodlatte bill that Paul Ryan kept blocking and obstructing is a good starting point. That was a great bill full of common sense reforms that makes the process fairer but more secure and favors the American middle and lower classes.

We only have one more chance to stop the destiny that is our changing demographics that today's democrats would have us get.

I hope the republicans take the house, get a supermajority in the senate, trump wins reelection and the democrats lose their shite and go on the armed attack.

There are now 31 Democrats sitting in districts carried by President Trump in 2016 and just three Republicans sitting in districts carried by Hillary Clinton, with many of those Democratic victories coming in traditionally Republican districts. In a presidential election year with a higher turnout, many of those seats should revert to GOP control.

If the GOP lost it because they didnt get anything accomplished then that should reciprocally work against the Dems this round. They came, they saw, they didnt conquer. Plus they put everyone at each other's throats and all for naught, which has been quite unpleasant I dont care who you are.

the GOP need to get their shite together then hold it together. The Dems have left the door wide open for a GOP sweep in 2020

Trump and the GOP need to hammer home how left the Dems have gone and keep shining a light on the insanity that is the 'Squad'

If they can't get 60 in the Senate, it will be for naught, just like 2017-2018.

I'm not so educated on this stuff either. If the Republicans don't take back the house and they lose the senate they will likely lose the Presidency. That will suck.

The Republican have to defend 22 Senate seats this time. The opposite of 2018. They will lose seats. The question is - how many.

we are 8n the same position this cycle as the Democrats were in the midterms, we have A LOT more Senate seats to defend

we SHOULD be able to hold the Senate and retaking the House is realistic

but it's going to be a tough election

More and more states are taking their que from california. First passing laws to allow illegals to have drivers licenses. Then they passed the "voter motor" law where you could register to vote when getting/renewing a license. Then you can have that ballot mailed to you. When all of that failed in some districts, they resorted to after the election "voter harvesting".

If there is not some federal intervention from the AG office to stop this nonsense with federal elections it will be very difficult to win the house.

I expect some entities like Judicial Watch will continue to hammer the voter registration rolls and scare a lot of illegal votes from being cast, at least I hope so.

We may need to quarantine the FED to keep them from engineering a 'recession' in March or so.

We need the four anti american reps to continue their assault on the president, the jews and the American Culture. This will guarantee not only Senate but Reps as well. President is a shoe in.
