Dems on track to win up to forty House seats

This is where the ALL CAPS and Bold come in , sorry. NOTHING HAPPENS IF WE DON'T VOTE.

@ForecasterEnten
If you were to model out (using data collected by James Campbell through 1984-2008 and then by me from 2010-2016), the Cook ratings at this point suggest like a 40 seat gain +/-20 seats. Obviously not saying that'll happen, but it's another indicator.

AND IT'S A MODEL.


If The Dems win the House they can give Trump the Hell of a life he earned and deserved.

There are states that down ballot congressional reelections are substantially at risk. Illinois, California, where the govership is already decided. New Jersey may have zero republicans in the House after November.

All hands on deck. This is not a drill. Our nation is under attack by conservatives who will stop at nothing, even humiliating our children, to subvert our national values and force the majority to live under their oppression.

wounds are still open and sore from all that excitement burn generated by those Hillary polls that had her a shoo-in. But, am sending some monies to Dem. runners and talking them up whenever.
