I think the Democrats will lose the House in 2022 Election

[Foreigner Looking In.]

There needs to be massive electoral reform BEFORE 2022.
American democracy is worse than in Africa.

Congresswoman Cheri Bustos, a five-term representative from northwestern Illinois, announced her retirement from the House after her term expires at the end of this session. She won by a 52-48 split in 2020.


The Illinois Democrat had remained a member of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s leadership team this year, and few in the caucus directly blamed Bustos for their down-ballot disaster last November. Still, the Illinois Democrat decided not to lead the party arm again, and several people close to Bustos said she had been unhappy in the House in recent years and that her decision was not entirely unexpected.


“As I turn every corner on each decade of life, I take time to reflect and evaluate what my next chapter might bring,” Bustos said in a statement. “That’s how, 10 years ago, I decided to run for Congress. And it’s why, today, I am announcing I will not seek reelection after completing this term.”


Republicans were quick to argue the retirement was a sign of Democrats’ nervousness going into an already difficult midterm election, where the GOP would only need to win back a handful of seats to take back the majority. But Democrats have pushed back, saying that Bustos was not a predictor of a wave of retirements.


Bustos represents a district in northwestern Illinois that has shifted to the right since former President Barack Obama won it handily in 2012. Former President Donald Trump narrowly won her district twice.


Bustos also won reelection by a narrower margin than expected in 2020, defeating her GOP challenger, Esther Joy King, by roughly 4 points. The race — a prime target of Republican campaign operatives — reflected the surprisingly tight margins in many races, particularly in rural areas, around the country. King, an Army reservist, has already launched a second bid.

Bustos, in retiring, chooses to end her time in Congress on her own terms. Multitrillion-dollar spending bills, massive tax increases, and a push for DC statehood, her announcement suggests, does not play in Peoria. Maybe she saw the writing on the wall, what the democrats are doing these days probably plays well in deep blue cities and states, but not so much everywhere else. And while the GOP did not cover itself with glory as the fiscally conservatives they used to be, at least they are far less irresponsible than the democrats are. And it ain't just the spending, it's the end of the filibuster, packing the courts, immigration, abortion, and a host of other things the democrats want to do and will if given the numbers in Congress to pass whatever they want.

In short Bustos may not have been too happy with the direction the House is going in or their methods, but she may also be be realizing that the House is about to flip and her seat will be one of them. Sometimes you gotta get off the boat before it sinks, otherwise it can pull you down with it.

I don't think there's much doubt that it's the gop's to lose. But it usually flips. when one party wins the WH. That's why the Trumpanzees are literally so hysterical in "having a cow" about losing an election.

Just think of the shit-fit the Repubs will have if they don't win at mid-terms..

imo the only way the D's can hold the House is if majorities in districts vote that the gop went against their wishes in opposing the $1400 stimulus checks, and if Biden can sell his "infrastructure." But I think he's trying to sell stuff like allowing people who don't earn enough to pay ANY income tax to get a child tax credit. I don't see how that is infrastructure. Meanwhile the Senate has already approved something like 34 Billion for updating water systems. Both my gop senators voted yes. The maj of state gop officials are "yes.' The capitol city's water system is failing.

This stuff could have been done when Trump asked the Congress in his SOTU. We wasted 4 years because of the pure hate against him.

From what I understand, quite a few states are working on upgrades to their election laws so that cheating will be harder to get away with. Doesn't mean voter fraud will not exist, people being people means that won't happen but at least I think it'll be reduced somewhat. How much is open to conjecture.

Georgia tried that and a gang of big companies sniveled about it, and they moved some big game or other to another state. Big corporations don't like verifying legal voters and rejecting criminal illegal aliens or multiple voters with the same addresses and names

 

[rddean]

It’s possible Democrats will lose both the House and the Senate in the midterms. But you know how Americans are when people try to keep them from voting, that’s when they go out and vote.

remember all those eight hour lines during the presidential election? Then you look at Republican areas and the average time to votes like 5 to 10 minutes.

that’s why they’re passing laws where you can’t even give somebody a bottle of water.

it’s like with mail in voting. All that started with the GOPQ.

then the pandemic came along and Democrats started voting by mail and suddenly Republicans don’t want anybody to vote by mail. So weird.

if you keep making it harder and harder to vote, you’re going to mess up both sides, not just Democrats.

I predict Democrats will gain seats in the House especially in suburban districts. Usually the party in power loses seats because they picked up seats they shouldn't have in the Presidential race. This did not happen in 2020. Republicans were able to pull a fast one in 2020. They made bogus claims about Democrats wanting to defund the police and falsely claiming Democrats were socialists. Republicans will have a lot of baggage in 2022, Radicals like Gaetz and Greene. Republican attempts to strip Americans of voting rights. The attempted insurrection on Jan 6 and their refusal to support a commission.

Unless they lose their control over mainstream media, and social media they will they win again.

Information control leads to perception control. Perception control is critical. And right now they have it.

Just as an example.......

[Polishprince]

I think it would be interesting to see the Republicans take the House, as it would give the GOP a chance to show some real resistance and impeach Biden-Harris for the High Crime of "attempted fucking up of the country".

Since the D's established the fact that you don't have to have a real crime to accuse someone of, this sounds as good a reason as any to put those two in the dock.

Normally I would agree but with Chinese communist dominion software still out there and this early voting crap not being very secure I am not holding my breath. Its not who votes, but who counts the votes that matter.

Trump never preached bipartisanship. He came in promising to repeal Obamacare. And failed. He failed to get 50 when the gop held the senate. Don't blame the dems for Trump You fools elected him. YOu wanted to blow up the gop establishment, and you succeeded.

We'll see if Biden refuses a compromise on infrastructure

I agree completely. I'm an Indie and hope to vote mostly GOP in '22.

Biden is allowing our country to be buried in illegals. I hate it. He's also trying to 'give everybody everything.' I hate that, too.

My big worry about the GOP is that so many repubs are beginning to look like hopeless crackpots. They've gone way overboard with the Stolen Election lies.

Then you have nutjobs like Taylor-Greene out there spouting her brainless shit.

So, I want to vote republican, but I won't vote for anyone who talks like he belongs in a rubber room. Sadly, that includes a lot of GOP candidates, these days.

We need a healthy balance of power. I just very much hope that the balance comes from good hearted and intelligent conservatives and not Trolling Trumpsters. I have little faith that my hopes will become a reality. People seem to be getting dumber and dumber when it should be going the other way.

As long as the left is going to demonize, condemn, and censor in the name of identity politics, they'll ruffle the feathers of the other side, and you'll just get the worst.

Remember, at a resting state, it's the Conservatives who are happy with their lives and just want to be left alone. It's the Leftists who are eternally angry and want to yell at Conservatives about how their happy life is evil and isn't fair.

Yeah, there's plenty of crazy shit on both sides. But the reason I'm so concerned about Republicans is that Biden's policies are driving me up the wall.

I want Biden and Harris shackled until they can be voted out of office.

They're also in bed with the BLM cocksuckers, and they're pushing the reparations bullshit, and all the rest of that crap. They've gotta go, as far as I'm concerned.
