What happens? Republicans retain control of both chambers? Dems take the House (by what kind of margin) but not the Senate?  Dems take both chambers?

Can you tell me how many non-citizens will be voting first?

Assuming the Dems hold GA and NC they would still need to win 4/5 of TX, IA, MI, ME or OH. Which seems unlikely. But possible I guess. Could end up 50/50. 

 

House - Dems get to 225+

 

So, best guess, we get two years of meaningless political theater as the Dems try to hang Trump for the third time.

My prediction: Dems will have a net gain of 16-18 seats in the House. 

Senate is too close to call, but it's looking ominous for Republicans.

"The culprits are obvious: the exorbitant cost of living, Trump’s deep unpopularity with the political center and the massive enthusiasm gap Democrats enjoy over Republicans.

"Absent a drastic shift in voter sentiment, this election is poised to mirror the last time (2006) a Republican was besieged by ornery voters upset with corruption, the price at the pump and an unpopular Middle Eastern war: complete Democratic takeover."

It will be both more than zero and statistically insignificant.

AK is also a possible pickup.

The opposition party to the sitting president almost always flips the house. Despite all the help the dems are giving the pubs, I don't see the pubs keeping their majority.
