Still Not Clear Which Party Will Lose the House
« on: August 10, 2018, 03:45:47 pm »
Townhall
Michael Barone
Aug. 10, 2018

We're heading into the home stretch in America's unusually lengthy (six months and nine days) primary election season. Some three-quarters of Americans have had a chance to vote for Democratic and Republican candidates for Congress, and state and local offices.

Their choices tell us something about the results in November. But not everything, including which party will win the apparently close battle for a majority in the House of Representatives.

The consensus of those who follow these elections most closely is that the Democrats will win. The most recent evidence comes from the ultra-narrow victory of Republican State Sen. Troy Balderson in the special election for Ohio's 12th Congressional District.

The GOP needs to run ads with Pelosi saying "voting for democrats will give illegal immigrants more leverage," and Alexi O-C saying the unemployment rate is low because everyone has two jobs.

Too bad the GOP can't run ads saying they brought the deficit down and got rid of Obamacare.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

@The Ghost

Townhall is trying to be clever.  Control of The House is the Democrats' to lose, with the midterm and Trump's flubs.  And the Republicans have worked hard to lose it, too.

Yes, it is. Too bad the RINOs didn't live up to what they promised.

The RINOs don't want the wall built- they may as well be dimocraps.
