Are there enough districts that can be flipped Red to make it happen?

I was told we only need to flip 17 districts.

I think it’s closer than what a lot in the media are saying.

17 is the number.

19 Dem seats are "in play"

Might have to pull off some upsets in conservative areas of blue states. Its an uphill battle this year, but not impossible.

Pretty much zero.

No. They GOP may win back 6-10 seats, but Presidential election year Dem turnout in deep blue states will prevent a GOP comeback in the SoCal districts, and those in NY, etc.

Would love to see it but the lying self-righteous douchebags are lined up for miles to take her spot.

With an incumbent presidential election, I would be surprised if the Republicans failed to gain control of the house this time around.

Historically, the actual truth is the exact opposite of this. House changes parties in the midterm. The last time majority switched in an election year was 1952 (and it switched back in '54). In fact, 1880, 1888 and 1952 are the only three times the majority has switched in a presidential election year.

But humor me. Why would you be surprised?

It is far more likely that she’d lose her speaker’s seat in January because the far left wackos push her out, than it would be via the GOP gaining a majority.

That will NEVER happen again without immigration reform (not the liberal version).

I think there are a few outstanding republicans running for seats in highly liberal areas. If they can reach the masses to get out and vote for them, it may get close, but I feel like the mountain is still too steep to climb.
