Majority in the House is up for grabs
By Mike Lillis and Scott Wong - 08/02/17 06:00 AM EDT

Democrats are feeling encouraged about their prospects of winning back the House next year despite a string of special election losses.

A turbulent White House has left President Trump’s approval rating at a dismal 40 percent, and Democrats ended the House session watching the ObamaCare repeal effort collapse in the Senate.

“There are a lot of reasons to think that the House will be in play next year,” said Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball, an election handicapper at the University of Virginia.

Every GOP seat in the House is up for re -election; no healthcare repeal and no wall - they'll lose.  America will quickly forget the prior DEM House of disaster thinking that things will get better with party change.  The uni-party still exists. Nothing has changed, nothing will change until the swamp is drained and leadership is changed. This holds true for both the House and the Senate.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Trump's approval rating is exactly the same as George Bush in the first week of November 2006.  The Dems gained 30 seats.  There is still time to mitigate losses, but things have to change all over the board.

Mantaining the swamp is MUCH more important than any majority in congress!

Polling is so wrong so often I'm surprised anyone pays attention to it anymore.

I think the Pubs will probably have lost the House and the Senate by 2020. They have failed so badly it's heart breaking. A once in a generation opportunity and they didn't even have the bills ready to go. 7 yrs of we will repeal obamacare and they couldn't even do that.

Pres. Trump will get re-elected because he is actually trying to do what he said he would do, but nothing will get done because the Rats will control the House or Senate, or both.

Too early...

...but Mueller's investigation should be completed around the elections.
