Opinions are all over the place.

No. Dems get a 3-5 seat majority.

Maybe. If not, the Dems won't have more than a single-digit majority.

Here's what we should all do:

1. Pray that it's God's will for Republicans to keep the house.
2. Go vote Republican.

I'm afraid not. But I felt this way about the POTUS election NOV2016.

The good news is that Pelosi is making the same confident predictions today as she did in 2016:

For what it's worth, the Dems are -280 to take the House on Bovada which makes them a decent sized favorite.

No. Dems net 30 seats in House and have a 223-212 majority come Jan 3, 2019.

It’s looking increasingly likely they hang on by their fingernails.

The downside of that is the power given to the RINO wing like the “third highest Republican on TV”, Peter King, through the ability to block legislation they don’t want to vote for.

It’s better than Pelosi as Speaker but it virtually guarantees a Do Nothing House.

That's better than a Democrat house with non-stop baseless impeachment talk and ridiculous investigations

Not a chance. Dems flip at least 42 seats.

Yes.

What the Dems don't realize is that Reps will win 3-5 previously D seats. And for every 1 the R's win, that's 2 more the D's need to reach the majority threshold.

Dems need 23 right now. If R's win 1 previously D seat, then Dems need 25.

There are 9 Dem House seats out there where the R candidate is up/tied/within the margin of error on the RCP poll average, and yet the Cook idiot report only has 1 D seat in his "toss-up" category.

Those 9 should all be "toss-ups".

Meanwhile, there's 27 Rep seats where the D candidate is up/tied/within margin of error on the RCP poll average, and yet for some strange reason Cook has 40 R seats in his "toss-up" category.

Basically, if there's an R seat in a any district that Hillary won or statistically tied Trump, he's calling it a toss-up, but then acting like it's guaranteed to go D, which is ridiculous.

If R's happen to take even just 3 of the 9 Dem toss-ups, Dems will then have to win 29 previously R seats, and that's just not happening.

I personally believe Reps will win 4 previously D House seats, setting the Dem number at 31, and then Dems only win 21 seats and fall short by 8.

Based off my theory built up over the past 2 years of way too much internet


The vast increase in shite posting, hostile shills, and outright ridiculous mass media lie campaigns on reddit and other networks = they truly are scared shitless
