As Trump Flounders, Democrats Target Vulnerable House Republicans

Democrats Step Up Pursuit of House Republicans Left Limping by Donald Trump

LEESBURG, Va. — Emboldened by Donald J. Trump’s struggles in the presidential race, Democrats in Congress are laying the groundwork to expand the list of House Republicans they will target for defeat as part of an effort to slash the Republicans’ 30-seat majority and even reclaim control if Mr. Trump falls further.

Mr. Trump’s unpopularity, which has already undermined the party’s grip on the Senate, now threatens to imperil Republican lawmakers even in traditionally conservative districts, according to strategists and officials in both parties involved in the fight for control of the House.

Democrats are particularly enticed by Mr. Trump’s dwindling support in affluent suburban areas — including those near Kansas City, Kan.; San Diego; Orlando, Fla.; and Minneapolis — where Republicans ordinarily win with ease. Mr. Trump is so disliked among college-educated voters, especially white women, that he is at risk of losing by double digits in several districts that the 2012 Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, carried comfortably.

“It’s a remarkable situation. We, the Republicans, ought to be in a much stronger position in many suburban areas,” said Representative Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania, whose district includes both suburbs and small cities. “Because of the nature of the nominee, it’s going to be a lot more competitive than it ought to be.”

Few Democrats say they believe their party is positioned, at this point, to take control of the House, where Republicans hold their largest majority in 87 years. Because of the way congressional districts are drawn, Republicans have a powerful structural advantage even in a punishing political environment.

But Republicans are also bracing to take more forceful steps if Mr. Trump continues to drag down their candidates. Multiple strategists involved in the campaign for control of Congress said Republican outside groups were prepared to run ads treating Mr. Trump as a certain-to-lose candidate and urging voters to elect Republicans as a check on Hillary Clinton.

Democrats regaining the House would be nice - but the Senate and White House are most important. The Supreme Court hangs in the balance.

The New BS GOP has gerrymandered the House so bad it's impossible almost to win for the Dems. Dems outpolled the GOP by a million votes and lost 30 seats. A disgrace no one can mention I guess. But maybe Trump can do it lol.

The Republicans will not lose the House, but the Senate is all but gone

The Republicans will not lose the House, but the Senate is all but gone

Better get 60 Senators or Hillary won't get jack shit passed and no radical leftist SCOTUS judges.

Truly, the Dems can't get the House either. But there is an idea the moderate GOP may start cooperating after the big orange idiot leads the nutter haters over a cliff...or the country will continue its course of Reaganist, ignorant greedy ruin....

Your title should have read "VIOLENT REGRESSIVES TARGET REPUBLICANS", also we know this is a lie because you regressives have been saying gerrymandering as locked the House for the republicans for years now.

Given how the Republicans wouldn't even give Merrick Garland a hearing, don't be surprised if the Dems change the rules to a simple majority.

Senate's in the bag.

But the house is still a long shot because so many red seats are rigged because of gerrymandering.

Talk about the fix being in.
