Honestly, I still think the GOP keeps the House (even though the Dems will get more votes) due to gerrymandering. They'll lose some seats though.

I thought this 10 months ago, but the numbers today show that democrats will almost certainly take the House. They could get as many as 40. If not for gerrymandering sure, it would be 60 or so. The funny thing about this is that republicans picked the wrong time to pee the bed. The census is in 2020, and democrats will not only pick up the House but should pick up multiple governor seats and the presidency. More than enough to re-write the map and get rid of the fukkery we've had for nearly a decade.

Democrats need to run on some specific promises, including impeaching Trump (assuming he attempts to fire Mueller).

Man, I hope you're right but I'm not getting my hopes up...I'm still traumatized from the 2016 elections I guess.
I have no faith that Dem voters will turn out, nor that the GOP won't voter suppress/gerrymander/otherwise cheat their way to keeping Congress. :francis:
