jonmx 2,424 Posted November 8, 2024 Surprised the House race is getting little attention in the media or online. The outcome has huge implications for Trump getting stuff passed and ability to have investigations into corrupt agencies. Currently 212 to 203 with 218 needed to capture the majority. The 20 uncalled races are about evenly split 10 to 10 on who the current leader is, but many have razor thin margins which could flip. GOP can not be lulled into taking their eyes off these races as flipping even a few races can alter the balance of power. The media blackout on this topic has me concerned that some shanningans may be underway to quietly steal control of the House. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peenie 1,905 Posted November 8, 2024 I'm hoping it goes Republican. I'd like to see what they can really do. It's one thing to complain and complain but quite another when you've got all the control. It's put up or shut up time. I'm ready for jobs to come back, prices to fall and America to be Great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Night of the election i was seeing odds that Dems were slight favorites after initial voting was being counted. In my surfing of the interwebs don’t see that anymore and see more guesses that the GOP will retain a majority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lod001 1,344 Posted November 8, 2024 If they get total control and fock it up, I'm done. No reason to ever vote again. The RINOs focked it up for Trump the 1st go around when he had control but was hiring RINO trash and didn't know any better. I'll be super pissed if he allows any RINO trash to infiltrate his administration. The uniparty needs destroyed. What I would love to see is him bring on Cronyn, Thune and Graham for like 1 month or whatever time it takes so they are no longer senators and then fire all 3. Go after Bill Barr. RINO scum POS, pelosi, and schiff among others. All 3 should be in prison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Engorgeous George 2,138 Posted November 9, 2024 Conspiracy to commit the high crime of rejecting their oath of Office to uphold and protect the Constitution by hiding the President's cognitive infirmaty in contravention of the 25th amendment seems a good place to start. Having a man of clearly diminished mental capacity having access to the nuclear football is really a crime against humanity as well. The fact that it did not go bad is not the point, the point is it might have, it still might. The prime sentry on the gates of the citadel of democracy is asleep at his post .

Current projection is for Republicans to get to 220-215 edge. Democrats aided with RINOs did a good job of gerrymandering to keep it this close. Control of the House is vital for the next two years and every seat above 218 is important so a few RINOs don't hi-jack important issues. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
