Here's what a one-seat Republican majority would look like

By Robert G. Boatright, opinion contributor — 10/21/18 01:00 PM EDT

Last week CBS released the results of its most recent “battleground tracker” poll. The polls predict the number of seats each party will hold in the next Congress, given different turnout scenarios. In the low turnout scenario, Republicans were forecast to win 218 seats — exactly the number the need to maintain control of the House.

The poll immediately became fodder for Democratic fundraising pitches. The poll results were perfect for stoking the fears of liberals, for who continued Republican control of Congress would indeed be scary and dispiriting.

A one-seat majority for either party — but perhaps especially for the Republicans — might well be a political nightmare but for reasons different than what the Democratic fundraising pitches envisioned.

Once upon a time, the Republicans had a one-vote lead in the California Assembly.  One Republican decided to vote for Rat Willie Brown for speaker, so the Assembly had a Republican Majority and a Rat Speaker.

That's what it would look like.

I'll happily settle for 50% + 1 Republicans.

Would you prefer 50 + 1 democrat-communists?
