Really need She Guevera and Mad Maxine out front and in the news every day.

I hope so. We can't take the Democrats lightly, they are mad and will get out to vote. We need to as well.

CNN's ratings are so low because people are not buying the bs they are selling anymore.

Dems are about to go down in flames.
By 2020 the Democrat party will be just a memory

Going to be interesting...
Not that interesting. It'll be a blue wave on the order of about 40 seats. It COULD be more depending on how things go between now and November, but very unlikely it will be much less.
The Senate will be interesting. Normally this combination of seats up for grabs would be a Republican dream, and yet they might only break even or even lost a seat. And even if they only gain 1 or 2, which would seem to be the most likely case at this point, that will set up the dems to be within spitting distance of a super majority after 2020 and for sure after 2022.

I would think NJ would add a seat.
with that said, I think that it is going to be really close. 20-30 seat range is my guess.
If dems pick up more than 15 seats then I think they will team up with moderate Rs for a moderate speaker.

I thought the Dems had a good shot but they’ve upped their histrionics lately which I think will motivate GOP voters more.
I think we make gains in the Senate and Dems pick up a few house seats but remain in the minority

Here is why I HATE, LOATHE, DESPISE the all too powerful Fed Gov.
Why is it so important that we have a centralized, homogeneous set of rules that apply so broadly over 330+ Million people? Especially since we KNOW that 40% are strong "left" and 40% are strong "right".
The fact is the following is POSSIBLE in a few months:
Suppose Rs keep House by 1 vote.
Suppose R and Ds (at least as they caucus) are even 50-50 (R's maintain control by VP Tie Break)
R has POTUS.
SCOTUS is 5-4 "Right"
Now, R's can move legislation to the RIGHT in that scenario.
Skip to 2020:
D's win POTUS
D's win 2 seats in House.
NOW - by virtue of THREE (3) human beings changing - D's control POTUS, House, and Senate (via VP vote)
D's can move legislation "Left" because THREE people change jobs. IF two SCOTUS conservatives die in a car crash together, 5 humans can change the entire course of the political landscape for everyone.
That is frickERY.
I reject the notion that we should have 50 States that are all alike (except for accents, cuisine, etc) and a large, powerful Fed Gov to tell all of us how we shall behave. All at the whims of changing out single digit number of humans in certain chairs.
What you describe is how the founders intended on it working. Unfortunstely the statists were successful over the last 150 years labeling states rights advocates racist because the south used that argument for slavery. Much like Nationalism gets associated with Nazism...though they conveniently leave out the socialist part of National Socialist

4 events led to the rapid growth of Fedgov.
1. Civil War effectively destroyed the idea of states rights
2. Women’s suffrage- made social programs more appealing to the voters as women are more likely to sacrifice freedom for security
3. WW2 - led to the creation of the deep state and MIC behemoths that basically run an unchecked shadow Govt. All should have been reduced/abolished post war but they justified their existence as necessary to combat the USSR. In reality, Patton was right and we should have destroyed the USSR after Germany and ended it all then and there.
4. 9/11 - led to the surveillance state in the name of combating terrorism

I could definitely see this. If someone like Warren is the 2020 nominee, I think we could see a Trump landslide and Trump popular vote win. With the Warren/Sanders/Ocasio-Cortez wing in charge of the Democratic party, freedom of speech and religious liberty will pretty much be extinct.
