House control all but gone, top Republicans privately concede

RIGHT THE TIMELINE ON THIS IS MAD, IT IS LITERALLY LIKE TRYING TO EAT A CEREAL BOWL WITH A FORK WHEN THE MILK IS ALREADY GONE, EXCEPT IN THIS CASE THE FORK IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE MILK IS THE HOUSE MAJORITY. POLITICO IS SAYING THAT EVEN TOP REPUBLICANS ARE ADMITTING PRIVATELY THAT CONTROL IS BASICALLY SLIPPING AWAY AND NOBODY THINKS THEY CAN HOLD ONTO CONGRESS. THEY ARE JUST SCRAMBLING TO LIMIT THE LOSSES NOW, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT EVEN PRETENDING TO BE OPTIMISTIC ANYMORE. IT IS ALL HAPPENING SO FAST AND THE INTERNAL CONCESSIONS ARE JUST WILD TO THINK ABOUT. I FEEL LIKE THEY KNOW SOMETHING THE VOTERS DON'T YET. ANYWAY I AM FINE, EVERYTHING IS FINE.

SO YOU KNOW HOW EVERYONE WAS SAYING THE RACE WAS GONNA BE CLOSE, WELL APPARENTLY THE ACTUAL PLAYERS ARE ALREADY THROWING IN THE TOWEL BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. THE ARTICLE SAYS REPUBLICAN GROUPS ARE SHIFTING INTO DAMAGE CONTROL MODE BECAUSE PRETTY MUCH NOBODY IN THE PARTY THINKS THEY CAN KEEP CONTROL OF THE HOUSE ANYMORE. IT IS JUST A FACT AT THIS POINT THAT THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THEY HAVE A SHOT. IT IS NOT EVEN A DEBATE FOR THEM, THEY ARE JUST MINIMIZING THE DEFEAT. HONESTLY IT FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE SETUP IS COLLAPSING BEFORE OUR EYES AND THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO SAVE THE FURNITURE. I AM TELLING YOU, KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. RIGHT I AM GOING TO THE SMOKING AREA, COME.

According to Politico, Republican leaders are privately conceding that they are likely to lose control of the House of Representatives and are focusing on limiting their losses.
