The Senate will most probably go Democrat...by a slim margin...which blows my mind.

The House, on the other hand, is going to most likely stay in ryan's control, and they will remain a dizzy bunch of idiots until 2018, when we can oust more of the teabagger cancer from our government.

I'm hoping our district will go Democrat, but even my wife, who is a very low information voter, will cast her vote for the idiot repuKKKe, jamie herrera butler, because "she has job fairs", and that's what makes a difference to my unemployed wife. The fact that SHE doesn't have shit...but rather she attaches her name to job fairs and rides the coat tail is of little consequence to my wife, and probably thousands of other low info voters. Frustrating....

seems to be that they have to give up the seat on their own accord.

By the way, her name is Beutler, not Butler.

Here's hoping you can convince your wife to vote D.

It should be easy will Hillary as president for two years getting things done.

the House this cycle. If we pick up 10-15 seats, that will be great.

Too many gerrymandered congressional districts.

Not sure why congress is mentioned. We have to switch out 31 republican governors and 30 state congresses to fix gerrymandering.

If you want the U.S. House, in addition to the U.S. Senate, to flip Democratic … you will want a landslide of at least +10 in the U.S. Popular Vote. (The more the merrier.)

even with a landslide. People are weird. No matter how unpopular the House is, voters consistently approve of their own reps.

... votes for congress in 2012 IINM and still lost the house because of gerrymandering.

Gerrymandering is the poison that allows the GOP to flip the bird at the country

How about a nation-wide Districting Act like the Voter Rights Act that does it everywhere?

in all too many states. Still worth fighting for, of course.

merely unlikely. Just a couple days ago, discussing Hillary's pulling ahead in polls in red Arizona and Georgia he said IF the lead held through August it might indicate the House was in play. He'll be looking at this poll of course.

Their only focus was to do NOTHING until President Obama was out of office.
Well, President Obama will be out office soon...and it appears the GOP will be too.
Good fucking riddance, GOPstoppers.

Everybody will have a different reason that the polls (even the unadjusted exit polls) were not right but only a few will want to be whiners and point out that all the close races are going Repub as always. Dems will blame the candidates (didn't press the right issues, didn't do this or that) or some issue that comes up close to election time.

Of course it's either illegal in a given state to even recount the votes BY HAND (FL) or it's just never done (MA e.g.), so it's impossible in the US to know what the real result is. Meanwhile the real criminals, ES&S, etc., live to steal another election.

The House is safely Republican, even if a majority want them out.

conditions. We may have left normal conditions behind when we passed through the far side of the galaxy.

There are a lot of people who think the bums need to be thrown out, but don't include their own bum in that.

.... gerrymandering.

That's how poisonous gerrymandering is, democrats can get more than a million MORE votes for the house and because the way the districts in the states were DIGITALLY DRAWN to dilute the power of brown, blacks, Asians and native Americans republicans will keep control off the house... the most powerful part of the government BY DESIGN


Gerrymandering should be outlawed by both parties

Hopefully the gop loss will be so staggeringly brutal that they might become more compliant for HRC. But then again, they don't take loss well....

The lesson: don't stay home in mid-terms that fall in a census year. 2010 gave us 6 years of Obama being hamstrung.

... but then vote for their particular Republican representative anyway.

While simultaneously drinking battery acid while lounging in a pool of nuclear waste.

Unlikely we flip the House. I'm in a blue district in a blue state, and my blue senator is up for re-election, and she's up double digits.

Hope to see some progress in red areas.

Gerrymandering makes sure of that.

Take lots of work to get a Democratic congress.

They all will tell you this country has turned right and is going. Further right as i type out this reply.
