2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhile winning the House is a tough climb, will we gain some seats? I think 5-10 seats.
Man how I want to see a few of these TeaPukes GONE. Hope Duckworth takes down that ASSHOLE Walsh.

(175,742 posts)The deadbeat dad has a commercial running here with his son talking about what a wonderful father Walsh was. I mute the television every time it's on. Thankfully, I live in a safely Democratic district where the incumbent has no opponent.

(1,418 posts)uhh, a few won't make a difference in the House.
progressive, common sense legislation will continue to be stomped on by the teabagger mob and the repug-lite blue dog democrats.
then there's the Senate. a complete farce.

(13,570 posts)but let's get real... we lost EIGHT years not getting anything worthwhile done under dumbya and now we've lost another four years.. yes, getting a marginal health care program passed, but not much of anything else significant.
this in the face of the fact we've got, oh, twenty major problems that must be addressed... congress cannot continue to sit around doing NOTHING.

(7,525 posts)I read an article the other day mentioning that Democrats should pick up a few seats in the House, but not enough to blunt the republican's advantage. I also remember reading that redistricting in several states will protect 10-12 seats for the Republicans that they probably would have lost.

(143 posts)Districts are no longer set up for close races. They are drawn for one party or the other. Massive change is hard to occur now.

(56,828 posts)who have to worry about Blue Dogs voting against their best interests every time Fox News says "boo" to them. So, unless it's only a few seats difference in total (like 219-216), I don't think there is much chance of getting Republics to vote for anything that will help Obama.
