218-217 House Tilt R

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Oy vey.

[W_HAMILTON]

1. If you are referring to MSNBC...

...that is actually an improvement in our favor; their projection earlier had it as Republicans with 219 seats (not taking into the margin of error, though).

[dchill]

2. That's a projection. With a +/- 13 point margin of error.

I'm not in oy vey territory yet!

[DarthDem]

4. 13 seats

13 seats, not percent. And we are leading in all of them.

[dchill]

6. I'm standing by my post.

[DarthDem]

10. Sure

However, seats and points don't really mean the same thing.

[halfulglas]

3. Also, if that happens, although not good news for Dems

As a few commentators on MSNBC said, it's going to be a nightmare to hold their caucus together and try to govern for the Repubs.

8. What governing do they do?

[halfulglas]

9. Actually, they prefer to rule, not govern, when they are in the majority.

That and run bogus hearings on their pet peeves. But they call it governing.

[StevieM]

5. DeSantis is going to be insufferable bragging about the result of his gerrymandering

if it allows the GOP to win a narrow majority in the House.

[In It to Win It]

7. If that happens, they are a heart attack or 1 scandal away from losing the majority

[NYC Liberal]

11. With that slim of a majority, no scandal will get a Republican to resign.

They’ll stay in the seat even if they go to jail. GOP will change the rules to let them vote from prison.

12. "He's a serial killer, he needs to resign" "College antics, we all do it" "It was last week" "Nope"

[NYC Liberal]

13. They'll run Kyle Rittenhouse in a few years, watch.
