1) 435 house seats, all up for grabs. Currently Dems only hold 194 seats. 218 needed to take control. Was will the final breakdown be? Who will be in control of the house?

2) Currently in the Senate there are 49 Dem seats and 51 Republican seats. 35 seats up for grabs however 26 of those seats are currently held by Dems and only 9 by republicans. What will the final breakdown be?

3) Which key races are you interested in most and who do you think will win? example Cruz vs. Beto in Texas. Or Desantis vs Gillum for governors race in Florida?
 
I'll give it a shot.

Dems pick up 41 seats in the house for 235 seats and control.

Senate sees no overall pickups for either side - Stays in Republican control.

Im interested in Warren vs Diehl in MA and Cruz vs Beto. Warren interest me because if she does better than expected I see her becoming a likely Presidential candidate. If Beto wins in TX I see that as a bellwether for a massive night for D's however I don't expect him to win.
 
I won't make any predictions. The common wisdom is D house and R senate, and that seems pretty likely, although I still am holding out hope that the Ds run the table on the senate side. I am not predicting that however.

I'm following all the competitive senate races closely, plus Gov. in Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Kansas, Wisconsin, Ohio, Alaska. Hard to pay close attention to house races since there are so many, but there are a lot of interesting ones.

Dems pick up 43 seats and take control of house with 237 seats

Dems win 1 more senate seat, for a 50-50 split
 
Dems in the House. Dems in the Senate. For Senate: Menendez vs. Hugin. Menendez was accused of accepting gifts and other nefarious activities. For Central Jersey Congressional district, Chris Smith ( a 19 time elected politician-38 years) vs. Josh Welle (rookie).old-troll.gif
 
The Blue Wave is coming!

Senate stays Red
House goes Blue

But since 2016 happened and there are many closet Trump independents & Dems, anything is possible?

1. I'm guessing somewhere around 229 seats for the Democrats in the House;
2. Democrats will probably lose 2 or 4 seats in the Senate;
3. I'm most interested in Florida and Georgia but have a strong interest in the rest of the country.

No, what you said in your first two sentences is a certainty. Your last statement is simply not true.
 
I predict Russia will tell us that Iran has hacked all of our election machines. All results invalidated. We go to war with Iran. Won't hold new elections until war with Iran is over.

Congress is actually both the Senate and the House combined.
I'd say your prognostication is fantasy but a particularly good fantasy.

You left out the zombie epidemic. Can we finally declare war on all the zombies? I've got dibs on Maris61 whom I just know is a zombie. Good thing they're all slow moving and easy to take out.

Which way is it, are you making predictions or not?

I know a bunch of democrats that work in several manufacturing plants in Wisconsin that are Trump supporters and think the leadership of the demo party has leaned why far left.
Theses are guys and gals I break bread with fish with, worked with and they are the same ones that voted against Clinton and would have voted against Bernie.
Its a different world back there Lanny with respect to politics and traditions. And there bare many independents too.
Thats why the demo better get someone very solid to run in 2020 and it should just be social issues and democratic socialism, it should be economics, trade/US Mfg./healthcare & US security.
 
Dems pick up 35 House seats. The Senate will need to wait for 4 years when the map is much better for the good guys.

Would love to see Beto thump that toad Ted Cruz.

And hasn't Lindsay Graham become an embarrassment since John McCain died? Wow. Talk about a spineless politician.

True true true, however, I think the Senate also looks pretty good for Democrats in two years. This ought to cheer up Maris61.

I'm the kind that likes George Will not Tucker. The red wave hitting us tomorrow is not real Republicans. Think of them more as felons and idiots.
 
Root for Knute! He's Mark Hatfield all over again!
Down with Brown! This State needs a change worse than ever and she simply is status quo!
