re: We're 10 weeks From the Mid-Term General Election. What's Your Prediction For Congress?

The left is in a predicament. The normal losers aren't far enough left for these new DSA shitheads. I don't think they're going to have the numbers to gain control of both. Remember, we have deported a shite LOAD of voters in the last 2 years.

Well, the Southern border has been shut down. It was purposely opened wide as soon as the Brandon Administration took control. Illegal immigration, human trafficking, and drug trafficking exploded while the puppet Brandon was pretending to be President.

USAID and other fraudulent money-laundering schemes (using OUR money) were exposed and derailed. That's the main reason why the Democrat Party is broke right now, among other things.

Control of the Panama Canal was taken away from China. That's a much bigger deal than most people realize.

The "Venezuelan excursion" was also more important than casual observers realize. We haven't heard the last of that regarding what was being run thru that country.

Things aren't as good domestically as I would've hoped, but the problem there is Congress. People automatically think that REPUBLICAN President Trump should be able to have his way with a REPUBLICAN controlled Congress. The problem, though, is that 1) The majorities are slim, and 2) Some of the Republicans are practically openly hostile to Trump because they owe their allegiance to the corrupt Political Establishment.

The fact that Congress wouldn't even pass the Save Act, which was supported by 80% of the American people, should alert everybody to that simple fact even if they didn't already know it.

I don't see any engaged voters on either side being swayed by anything that's happened since '24.

Dems still hate Trump. Most on the right still either like him or tolerate him as the lesser of two evils. And the left has only deviated further form American norms. So I think any losses of votes on the right will be offset by the left scaring away centrists who won't go full commie.

I think that will make this election more dependent on structural advantages in terms of what specific seats are open in what districts. (Yes, I know all midterms are, but I think more so for this one.)

All that said, I think the GOP maintains slim majorities in both houses. Mainly because the dems are too politically inept to get out of their own way.

Pretty good assessment.

Taxes are less, both State and Fed. Just noticed today that the max SS contribution is $11,400. That's increased by $3,000 from just 6-8 years ago. Food is high, but going all out on groceries is a choice. The one thing that gets me down is the price of cars. It's complete bullshite.

just blindly following Cook Political Report would put an over/under on Democrat seats as 214.5, maybe even a seat or half a seat less
LINK

So Republican 220-222 Democrats 213-215

The problem with this is that the Generic Congressional Ballots polls are moving into Blue Wave territory, almost all are showing Democrats +5 or more (at least they were,haven't looked in a week or so)

Senate
CPR would put over/under at 50.

LINK

Doesn't matter. The Democrats could scream at each other non-stop until election day and they will still win. The GOP fricked up, as usual, and will pay the price.

230 ish Dems in the House.

50-50 Senate w/Vance breaking ties.

Prediction:

We will elect 435 reps and 35 senators that will be more about their self interests then the voters that elected them.

All 470 of those elected in November will do what ever it takes to stay in DC.

Sad but true.

Nope. Much much worse.
But not one politician or billionaire give a shite because they all colluded to fleece trillions from US taxpayers.
