| GOP Plans to Retake the House |
| 2021-02-11 |
| [Epoch Times] The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) noted in a memo that the Republican Party is just five seats away from holding a majority in the House of Representatives, saying that the GOP can be competitive in four-dozen districts. "We are just a few weeks into the Biden Administration and Americans are already seeing the job-killing initiatives House Democrats support," stated NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer in a release. "We will relentlessly hold House Democrats accountable for their socialist agenda and ensure voters understand the damaging impact policies like defunding the police, government-run health care, and ending the Keystone XL Pipeline will have on Americans’ everyday lives." Emmer noted that in the House, the GOP is "just five seats short of a majority and are prepared to build" on its 2020 success. The list includes 29 districts that either didn’t support President Joe Biden or supported the House incumbent by 5 points or less. The GOP also identified 10 Democrats who might have redistricting issues next year—as well as eight Democratic lawmakers who won by fewer than 10 points and also underperformed Biden. The GOP, Emmer added, "will stay laser-focused on recruiting talented and diverse candidates, aggressively highlighting Democrats’ socialist agenda and raising enough resources to win." During the last election, Democrats lost a total of 11 seats. No House Republican incumbent was defeated, although they picked up three open GOP seats. |

| #18 In a low-tech past I seem to recall the prompt and salutary efficacy of lampposts somewhere in that reform concept |

| #17 Won't happen so long as the mail-in ballot clusterfook exists. If the last 4 years taught us anything, it's that we don't need to swap out a few Uniparty members for new faces; we need a complete overhaul of our country's political institutions. They're hopelessly corrupt. Without thorough institutional reform -- of our elections, our media and tech industries, our security apparatus and our administrative state -- absent reform and recalibration of all of the above, nothing will change. |

| #15 Wow, really?! Not the Senate though, just the House. Charlie, your last chance to out-bid the democrats to Dominion came and went by not hitting the mail-in fraud. Could have kept playing the game. You too democrats, done stuck it in the mashed potatoes too. Now? |

| #14 Ooooo, finally a plan! Maybe next they will send out an appeal for money with really good graphics and stirring words about things they think i care about. Gosh, maybe they can even work in that wholesome idea of being bipartisan since that really means so much! Again, party of evil and party of stupid format appears right on schedule. |

| #13 Kind of think that if they don't control the House they should be trying to retake the house. Seems common sense. |

| #12 I'd like to see Sarah Palin primary Murkowski. |

| #11 The precedent was set in November and January. The Democrat vote fortification operation will find the necessary votes if the Democrats want to find the necessary votes. |

| #10 Yeah. It's really just up to Dominion now. |

| #7 Why do they need to say it is their plan? Shouldn't the house, the senate, the presidency, the governors and the state & local always be the plan for a party? |

| #6 GOP had both Houses before and didn't do jack egesta. Supreme Court is in the balance, too, I would say (gawd how I loathe Roberts). |

| #5 The more important one is the Senate. How do they plan to retake that AND ditch the weak sisters who hold them back? Romney, Murkowski, Sasse, and a couple others must be replaced - their states will send Republicans so why not send conservative populists to replace the swamp things? Plus Georgia will be having a re-do on Warnock. A Senate that can and will block court-packing, judges, etc is far more important than the house. |

| #3 I would have fixed it for you, Bobby, but one of our quicker moderators quietly got there first. I love when that happens! |

| #2 Maybe it was "lysdexia". Blame the Irish whiskey. |

| #1 Oh, rat poop! That's "retake" the House. As Seafarious used to say, "What's wrong with a little dyslexia?" Fixed |
