    I think the Democrats will probably pick up between 30-50 seats in the House, and might net out +1 or +2 in the Senate. Recent Senate polling in red seats like TN, NV, AZ, and even MS, show Democrats either ahead or breaking even.

    The real story is going to be at the state level...there, I think Democrats are going to clean up bigly. There are 25 governorships up in 2018, and I think Democrats have a real shot at flipping most of the red ones thanks to poor Conservative candidates and policies.

    'Beast' sums it up perfectly .. and I like that Trumpsters like you live in the dark. No clue what's coming.

    It'll be a surprise.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    I am apparently much more informed than you are. Again, just like 2016, you are the one that is clueless. I am not saying dems wont take the house. it's very likely. 66% likely in fact. But 33% is still a very high number for republicans to pull off keeping the house. This is basic data and statistics, and your arrogance or lack of understanding of this doesn't do you or your side any favors. your arrogance last election might have cost you, as you assumed it was all locked up and inevitable clinton would win, and you got bitchslapped.

    I wont be surprised at all if dems take the house. The opposition party almost always wins more seats in the midterm election. You on the otherhand will be blasted into the stratsophere if republicans keep control, and i'll be here laughing in your face if republicans roll a 5 or a 6 with you thinking such a thing is impossible.

    If the "wave" doesn't result in all Trumpanzees being purged, it won't have been big enough to suit me.

    tell you what BAC, lets find an escrow. I'll put money on it with you. Since you are so confident, give me odds. You seem to think republicans don't even have a 10% chance of keeping the house. Lets make it 5:1 with you giving me odds. I'll bet you up to 2k on my end. your 10k vs. my 2k. lets do it bitch. put your money where your mouth is. I want the free equity.

    As a gambling man myself I'd love to see this bet. Money is the ultimate put up or shut up.

    So BAC, it's stupid to say pollsters were wrong about the 2016 election because they don't predict the EC they only predict the popular vote?

    Well, the polls were right. Clinton did win the majority of the popular vote by about 3%, and the polls were done at the national level and the average lead Clinton had in those national polls was about +3%. So the polls do tell a story, and that story showed Clinton did win the popular vote by nearly the same margin all the polls had her winning by.
