likely to be a republican landslide. Unfortunately the skeptic and realistic in me believes this will mean nothing. Say all you want about the Dems but at least they do stuff, i pretty much disagree with everything they actually are trying to do but I give them credit to working at those goals. The repubs just sit there and do nothing and i expect more of the same. I know they are supposed to be the "conservative" party but sometimes you have to act.


Sure the Repub leadership will bluster and make speeches but in the end nothing, nothing will be done.

Yup, nothing much will get done that will shrink spending or shrink Big Gov. We are doomed by runaway political corruption.

Interesting. I've been following a number of impressive black and Latino GOP candidates for the house/senate. Looking better than ever-glad to see that there are a good number of smart, successful blacks willing to leave the plantation.

As a conservative, I don't loathe Republicans, Independents, or Moderate Democrats. I loathe the uber left radicals who have taken over our country, & who have now revealed their evil destructive agenda.

We don't have to resort to massive bloodshed to cancel them, 2 peaceful elections will work just fine.

Please join the centrist 80% to cancel the uber left now in control, and any uber right nutjobs who have similar goals.

She’s the real deal.

I have never seen anyone work harder to earn votes - she has been boots on the ground in my district running hard for a year.

See, there's no common ground anymore. I won't be ruled by red, you won't by blue. Nothing is left to say.
Wow! Does your "location" accurately describe you!

May God heal the hatred in your heart!

The level of hatred you espouse is not healthy. How would someone, like myself, be able to find common ground with someone with your level of hatred towards people who disagree with you?

Amongst the 33 toss-ups, 29 are blue/democrat held districts, meaning the GOP is very likely to flip a lot of blue districts to red, where the Dems only have a couple opportunities to flip a red district to blue.

This is going to be a shellacking for the Dems in November.

Check out the map here:

Let's hope so.

Good post. I loathe the extremists of all stripes, like the people that can't seem to define what a "woman" is. All of a sudden, it's a mystery. Like, what the hell is a "woman". Some new mysterious creature? Yet they hold signs up at pro-choice rallies that "Defend a Woman's right to Choose".

The Republicans may get some easy victories, but they still need to show up with competent candidates.
