So I've researched and found some projections for the house that are fairly whitepilling

2018-01-16 00:28:04 UTC  

Nice

2018-01-16 00:28:10 UTC  

thanks for the good work

2018-01-16 00:28:13 UTC  

they're from fairvote, a pretty accurate firm from what I've found

2018-01-16 00:30:08 UTC  

basically, the high confidence projections they have (which from past analyses they've accurately predicted 99.7% of, so it's extremely likely they'll get all of them right bar one or two at most) has 205 R seats and 163 D seats

2018-01-16 00:31:05 UTC  

this gives a field of about 63 seats in competition

2018-01-16 00:32:20 UTC  

218 seats are needed to have a majority, meaning Rs would need to grab at least 13 seats out of the 63 in play in order to keep the house

2018-01-16 00:32:51 UTC  

obviously we want much more than this for legislative purposes, but this effectively prevents any impeachment attempts

2018-01-16 00:34:37 UTC  

Now, if there's a 2006-esque "blue wave" with a similar makeup to that year, w/ 54% dems and 46% Rs, that still gives Rs a majority of 226 seats, at least according to FairVote

2018-01-16 00:35:55 UTC  

this is about 52% of the House of Representatives which would be Republican, or to give a frame of reference, about the same margin that we had in the senate before Moore's loss

2018-01-16 00:37:46 UTC  

Not good in my opinion, but not apocalyptic. I think the average House Republican is much more on Trump's side than the average House Democrat (anecdotal, but still my opinion), so Trump would still be able to get some good bills in I assume.

thanks, btw can you bump the thread

2018-01-16 00:38:01 UTC  

yeah, damn

2018-01-16 00:38:37 UTC  

btw don't let these results get you delusional or anything

2018-01-16 00:39:38 UTC  

for all I know, the dems could get a ton more seats than what's considered the "blue wave" in that scenario.

2018-01-16 00:44:37 UTC  

our goals this year are to:
a) maintain the margins in the House, as they're decent at getting legislation passed even with Cuck Ryan.
b) increase the margins in the Senate, as they're the ones effectively blocking legislation from getting passed with a couple Senators
c) maybe get Ryan unseated, as he is a poison pill for Trump's agenda.
The cucks in the senate are already retiring, so we'd also need to make sure to prevent Romney from getting office in Utah.

2018-01-16 00:47:54 UTC  

gotta go, anyways.

2018-01-16 01:19:18 UTC

Wisconsin State Senate Special Elections TOMORROW

2018-01-16 15:46:53 UTC  

Wisconsin State Senate Special Elections TODAY

2018-01-17 00:13:03 UTC  

how did they turn out

2018-01-17 00:13:21 UTC  

the issue with state legislature elections is that people never really hear about them

2018-01-17 00:13:28 UTC  

which means that they can be gamed quite a bit

2018-01-17 00:13:35 UTC  

with money and get out the vote efforts

2018-01-17 00:13:46 UTC  

they could end up being a very good metric for the federal elections

2018-01-17 00:14:04 UTC  

are there any results yet?

2018-01-17 00:14:47 UTC  

looks like no results yet

2018-01-17 00:15:08 UTC  

alright, well let's keep the fingers crossed then

2018-01-17 00:15:22 UTC

2018-01-17 00:15:27 UTC

2018-01-17 00:20:29 UTC
