In one week the most important off-year election (IMHO) in living memory will take place. A few weeks ago the Democraps were openly bragging that they reasonably expected to take the senate and were going to steamroller the house.
They have since been backpeddling. Not even hard-core Democrap idiots now believe they will take the senate and in fact they are almost certainly to lose 1-3 additional seats to the Reeps.
The house in now 23 seats in favor of the Republicans. Traditionally the party in power loses seats. Trump, however, is hardly a tradition.
Regular readers will remember two years ago. While I acknowledged that Hillary was likely to win I also said it was far from certain and that I expected there would be a significant and possibly a very large closet Trump vote. Turns out I was right about that. Will it happen again?
If the Republicans can hold onto the house by even ONE seat that means committee chair positions and real power. They still might not be able to get anything passed, but they will be able to prevent the Democraps from tying the government in knots with a never ending stream of bullshit investigations, drowning the government in subpoenas. All things considered that would not be a good thing.
So, one week out and the pundits are now openly speculating that the Republicans may be able to hold onto the house by a handful of votes. Literally a handful. That's fine, all you need is one. Judging by the avalanche of money the Democraps are pouring into house races that are even in the same time zone as being winnable they are aware of the situation.
I will be spending election eve in front of the TV with my lady friend, her collie and my golden retriever, some pizza and a 12-pack of mad dog, watching the returns and hoping the party of truth (after a fashion), justice and the American way pulls it out and leaves the Democraps face down in the dirt, metaphorically speaking.
It was so much fun watching them have a hissy fit after Hillary bit the big weenie, with luck this will be a four-star blast. Maybe Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi will both stroke out. I am not counting on it, but I am hopeful.

I have always been a little apprehensive about one political party having too much power. not this time. The Democrats have shown their true colors and I hope they go down in flames.
