Dems taking back the House should be seen as a bigger deal than most are making it out to be. I mean, we flipped 27 seats.
This is the cycle of the opposition.

The opposition always take the house after an election.

The Republicans took even more seats in 2010 with Obama at his most popular.

So what's the latest time we'll get a clear view of who are going to run?

So those massive nationwide protests are apparently triggered for tomorrow, and I do not yet see the path forward for what kind of change that will bring, especially since Trump will probably spin it as a "Democratic mob".

The Week - This graph shows how brutal the 2018 midterm really was for Trump

Because of the disparity of the president's party losing seats during a time of strong employment and inflation conditions as well as rising home prices, the JPMorgan analysts determined that Trump actually had "the worst House retention rate" of anyone in his position in a century. Not exactly what you would call a "tremendous success," perhaps.

Ginsburg needs to wear a helmet and wrap herself in thick bubble wrap for a couple of years. Breyer too.
