I'm predicting we gain seats in the senate and hold the house by one or two seats.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rus...ains-in-senateRush Limbaugh, in an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, predicted Republicans will hold both houses of Congress next month – defying the Washington wisdom that Nancy Pelosi is in line for speaker.
“We hold the House and increase the Senate,” the conservative talk radio host predicted in an interview set to air Thursday night on Fox News' "Hannity" at 9 p.m. ET.
Vice President Mike Pence is also on record today predicting the Republicans will hold the House.

All eyes on Texas tonight. That's going to be the real nail-biter to watch as the numbers stream in.
I know Ted Cruz is expected to come out on top, but Beto is giving him a real run for the money.
Control of the Senate could very will hinge on that race, so it will be interesting to see how close the final tallies are...

I voted straight Republican ticket today, and did my best to rally my conservative friends to turn out to vote today. I believe that I was successful; however history is not in favor of the GOP. Let's hope for the best, but expect the worst.
Drudge has turned into a liberal website linking to Washington Post, NY Time, Vox, and the like. The blue wave thing was from ABC. There could be a blue wave. The mass media has been pounding on Trump for two years.
Something that gives me hope about the country -- I was at the gym last night and Monday Night Football was on the TV in the weight room. At half time it look like the first 50 rows closest to the field were only about 30 percent filled. Did anyone else notice this? The boycott must be far more effective than is being reported.
I saw a high turnout when voting today whatever that means.
I predict millions of illegal votes disenfranchising legitimate voters.
Alright it looks like the Democrats will take control of the House (Just as I thought) Does anyone know how the Senate looks; will the GOP hold onto the majority?
Senate looks pretty grim for the Dems.
Both Donnelly (D-IN) and Bredesen (D-TN) went down, and Heitkamp (D-ND) is getting smoked so far, so that gives the R's a +3 advantage right there.
Nelson ain't doing too hot in Florida right now, so even if Ted Cruz goes down and the Dems win all other contested seats, the GOP is still going to increase their majority in the Senate.
Definitely not much of a Blue Wave. More of an ankle-deep, azure stream of piss, after all, I'd say.
