The Safe and Likely Republican House seats now number 217 in their ratings. That's one short of a majority.

Now, it's not likely that Democrats will sweep all of their Leans and Tossup races, but keeping the House within ~10 seats of a majority makes things really interesting when the Speaker election happens, particularly since Paul Ryan doesn't appear to be able to deliver on his promise to pass a budget this year.

i got up early to watch the last speaker elections and what really stood out was how badly whipped the house GOP is. there were at least 10 protest votes for Daniel Webster, and this was after extensive wrangling to get a Ryan speakership in the bag. GOP dissidents could easily throw the speakership to a democrat, if they get particularly fussy.

also, pro-tier trolling from my rep Xavier Becerra, reminding everyone that the last time anything got accomplished in the house was under Pelosis speakership

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Cosby's case was really damning. I wouldn't expect Clinton accusations to play out the same way unless an extra dozen accusers come out, for one.

Also no one in the general gives a gently caress that don isn't GOPe. He'll be the literal representative of the party, and has been doing right wing circuits for years. He shouldn't be insulated from "not this poo poo again." He even has a personal history of making tedious bullshit accusations with the birther poo poo.

My first assumption is that Cruz believes the race is driven by populist anger. By receiving endorsements from establishment Republicans, he risks falling victim to the same anti- establishment anger that destroyed Bush and Rubio.

It would play into Trump's conspiratorial rhetoric if every Senator suddenly endorsed a man they openly despised

also the difference between Democracy Now and Rush is that Rush is a natural entertainer who is really, really good at what he does. Democracy Now is just monotone soul-death.

Unfortunately Rush’s defenses of Trump became more and more tiresome. It felt at times that it was simply the Donald Trump show featuring Rush Limbaugh, as Rush turned any attack on Trump, from whatever source, as simply the Establishment and/or the media trying to tear down the great Donald.

Rush isn't even that pro-Trump, he clearly favors Cruz, he just isn't as rabidly anti-Trump as these idiots demand. I never thought I'd be sitting here defending Rush Limbaugh but the #NeverTrump people are somehow way worse.

Trump: Do you remember the good old days, where Reagan ruled over us all?

Christie: When his gentle, compelling, and yet oddly insistent voice crawled through your mind, and told you exactly what to do?

Trump: Do you miss a time when you didn't have to think for yourself, and enjoyed lazy days of following the BELLOWED COMMANDS of others?!

Christie: Those days can be yours again! For Best Friend Trump, the esteemed leader of the Republican Party, is here...to tell you what to do!

Trump: THAT'S RIGHT! I, Donald J. Trump, will take on the BURDEN of your OBEDIENCE!

Christie: (quickly) Acceptance into the Party pending Best Friend Trump's approval. Best Friend Trump reserves the right to turn down applicants for any reason, including whimsy or boredom. Acceptance into the GOP open to whites only. Former minority members of the GOP conditionally accepted for purposes of advertisement duties, dehumanization may occur.

Trump: The Republican Party! Come! Take a load off your mind!

The best part of this general is going to be when Trump tries to steal Clinton's playbook and play nice face to face while letting surrogates concern troll and dig up dirt, only to realize that the only friends he's got are a dozen Robert Morrows who will end up ranting on Morning Joe about how HW was a gay prostitute and pedophile

The GOP won't actually be able to hurt him until he clinches their nom, and even then only by hanging him out to dry
