Bad News For Nancy: Contrary To Expectations, Republicans Have Gained Seats In The House

https://hotair.com/archives/john-s-2/2020/11/04/bad-news-nancy-republicans-gained-seats-house/

The House races haven’t gotten as much attention as the Senate but it appears Republicans have done very well. Prior to yesterday, some forecasts said Democrats were likely to pick up as many as 10-15 additional seats, with an outside chance of +20 for Dems. ...
...
Like a lot of other predictions that one doesn’t appear to be particularly accurate. At present the NY Times’ House results map shows the GOP with a net gain of five seats in the House. That comes from 7 seats the GOP flipped compared to 2 the Democrats have flipped. ...

My partisan views aside, I think Pelosi proved herself a terrible leader, in both of her stints as Speaker. She couldn't get things done under Obama, refused to do things the country needed under Trump, and picked battles she knew she would lose (e.g. the shamvestigation and shampeachment).

Even according to the skewed polls, her favorability rating are worse than the Turtle's.

It might be hard for some to admit, but I do think that Trump’s personal style and behavior is an issue to voters.  If Trump had the same policies but the personality of Reagan,  we wouldn’t still be waiting to see who won the presidential election yesterday

I like POTUS  personality.  Most women love him.  Men are the ones who have issues with an ALPHA, HETERO, STRONG MALE.  He is just what we needed.  He is showing us the swamp.  Trump envy.  If we had a Reagan, we would still have M.E. wars.  POTUS TRUMP has 18 noble peace prize NOMINATIONS for his work in the M.E.   However, he needs to be "nice' for some.   POTUS is doing volunteer service for our country.   'Nice', over results, I get it. Ok,  I am done talking.

[LMAO]

  Most women love him.

Evidence of such?

Besides, your post illustrated beautifully what I was talking about

Between her penchant for fore-doomed actions, ceding leadership to the AOC-wing of her caucus, and near loss of the majority, Miss Nancy may be surrendering the gavel come January.

You’re ignoring the five solid years of media character assassination waged against Trump and his family.

I suspect that even you (or anyone) with fine upstanding stature in your community and church congregation couldn’t protect your reputation from a 24/7/365 national media assault on your character.

Boy isn't that the truth!  When 99% of the media, 99% of Hollywood, plus a lot of YOUR OWN PARTY hounds you every single day for the past 5 years, it's truly a miracle he's come this close to winning.  Trump is an amazing man.  Very few people could have withstood what he's had to...

 The Gop won the seat held for years by Rohrabacher.

Michelle Steele (R)  defeated Harley Rouda (R)

She is an immigrant from So. Korea

[christian]

Reagan and Trump just never were pristine pure enough, probably Jesus wasn't either. What we really need are whoremonger saviors like slick willy, Obama, Biden.  Then we can finally get what we got coming for government ?
    What savior is a savior like a leftist alternate morality lock-stepper ?
They even practice pizzing of God, Jews, and Christians,while respecting jihadist Islamists.  What more could anybody ask for  ?

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

How about the Senate?

I am ignoring nothing

 As to the second part of your reply, I’m simply passing on what I hear when people  talk about Donald Trump. They don’t think engaging in Twitter wars is some thing a president should be doing. I have heard this a lot from people during the Trump years. Don’t shoot the messenger

Oh, FFS turn the page @LMAO  Soon people are going to be asking how many times you were dropped on your head as a baby.  Meet 57,000 folks from Butler, PA.  These salt of the Earth Americans would take exception to your lunacy.

There is a lot of growing evidence that this election is being stolen.  Outside tweeting, just how is his message expected to get out.  Think about it. ...  One network cut away from his post election announcement, while calling him a liar.

Indeed.   If Pence had been at the top of the ticket,  we'd be looking at four more years of conservative judges and conservative policy.   Trump always billed himself as a citizen politician here to shake things up.   He did,   but he should have declared victory and passed the baton to someone who could sustain and build on what he started. 

Instead,  he and the Dems both got what they wanted - a one-issue election representing an referendum on Trump's personal style and behavior.

You are all missing something.

As for Miss Nancy, Mission Accomplished.

She wasn't there to 'get things done', she was there to interfere with POTUS getting things done.

She has done extremely well at that, and even leveraged COVID relief to get a bunch of wish list crap stuffed in. In those roles, and to provide the image of all that leftist/communists wannabe elites drool over, she has done a splendid job. Her holding action has worked, she has dissed POTUS at every turn, and the Media and suckhead voters of the Left have lapped it up like a cat on spilled cream, turning her distractions into the news of the day, providing cover for the traitors and Communists, the crooks, and keeping them all out of the news cycle with her theatrics.

In my job, I meet a lot of people.   Other nurses, doctors, patients…   When the subject of Donald Trump comes up, the biggest complaint I hear is his personal style and behavior. For example, most people don’t think that a president should be sending out a tweets that calls a former porn star “horse face.”   There is no reason that Democrats should’ve won the 2018 midterms. But they made it a referendum on Trump’s style.  You try pointing that out to some and they make you the issue or tell you’ve been dropped on the head as a baby.
I voted for him. If Biden ultimately wins, Trump’s policy that made us energy independent goes away

It’s our nature to live in a bubble. We assume others see the world through the same eyes we do.  But if the election was on accomplishments alone,  the Democrats would be on the ash heap  of history by now

You know you've left a mark when folks just respond with personal insults.   I let it roll off my back - I understand folks are disappointed.    But my daily experiences are similar to yours - people don't attack his policies but rather his style and petty combativeness.  If Pence had been the nominee this would have been a referendum on those policies.   I think the outcome would have a triumph for conservatism.  As it is,  we live to fight another day.

I'm just annoyed by your attempt to revise history to suite your long held personal opinion, then following with 'I told you so".

We can see what happened/is happening to Trump. It ain't what you are claiming.

I   agree with you on how the news media is when it comes to Donald Trump. The news media decided they are part of the revolution against Donald Trump and not just simply a reporter when it comes to him.   That’s why they are rapidly losing any credibility with the public. I’ve heard that Donald Trump killed the news media. No they killed them selves.

 I do expect the news media to be a thorn in the side of anybody who wields power. But if Hunter Biden was Donald Trump,jr,  the media would leave no stone unturned

[catfish1957]

Indeed.   If Pence had been at the top of the ticket,  we'd be looking at four more years of conservative judges and conservative policy.   

(1) A lot of the success in securing the office, is based on enthusiasm.  Would Pence have generated that level of excitement, and desire to vote?

(2) I have a suspcicion that Pence would have governed more like W than Trump.  Would those less combative positions worked well with those who like blue collar democrats crossed over to vote for the GOP?  Or those who would prefer us to fight the left rather than capitulate?

We all have opinions, but in this case I think a ticket headed by Pence would have fared worse.

I’m not claiming that there hasn’t been some shenanigans in this election, especially that Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling, but if that was the sole reason why Trump is fighting for re election, then why isn’t it reflected in the down ticket races? Whatever ultimately happens and should Donald Trump not prevail, he left a blueprint for the GOP going forward.  They cannot go back to being the party of George W. Bush.  If the Republican party follows the blueprint and builds  on that going forward,  they should do pretty well

 This was a man who did better amongst non-white voters than any Republican candidate for as long as I can remember after years of being called a white supremacist.  That tells me that that well has long gone dry but the Democrat party still thinks they can squeeze that last drop

Oh I know and agree - I was directing my comment to Jazzhead. The down ticket races in general reflect Trump overall national popularity, I'm sure the down ticket races in those precincts where the vote is currently being stolen the GOP haven't faired as well as on average.
