Leaders of both parties are already assuming Speaker Pelosi; Dem house takeover is “baked in”
Axios ^ | Jan 14, 2018 | Mike Allen

Trump's day of reckoning ... The one thing that could dramatically diminish President Trump’s chances of avoiding impeachment and chalking up legislative wins is Democrats winning the House.

And, thanks to series of recent developments, Trump knows this no longer just seems plausible, but probable.

Show less Hill sources tell us that a House Democratic takeover is now likely. One strategist close to Republican leaders believes that a loss of the House is "baked in," and said top Republicans don't see a way to avoid it.

I know folks will say “the experts were wrong about 2016” to rebut this, but everything does seem to point to a Dem house. That’s awful news. What can be done to prevent this?

Have they ‘baked-in” the indictments almost certain to fly over Obama spying on Trump, not to mention the Clinton Foundation (and that one’s being done with a Grand Jury in Little Rock - not exactly the best place for her)? I don’t think so.

As to your request, maybe remind people that a LOT can happen in 10 months.

By they way, are these not the SAME PEOPLE who predicted the Republican ‘disaster’ in 2016? My goodness, I think so.

Get out and vote instead of cowering into a ball and posting defeatist articles to this forum.

Worked in November 2016.

I don’t believe it for a minute. They talk like it is assumed, a done-deal. Baloney.

I didn’t know they did the news, too.

Well, what are the 40 seats they will win?

If everyone is so sure, shouldn’t we know who they are?

Gotta love our Repubs. We gave them everyhing and they managed to eff it all up.
The rats are sleazy, immoral crooks, but they use that to their advantage.
The repubs are also sleazy, immoral crooks. However, they are also too stupid to use the sleaze and immorality to their advantage and would rather just lick the rats’ ani (heh, make believe plural of you know what) and feed off of what is left for them.
I really loathe both parties and hope that CW-II does them both in.

I would agree partially with parts of this fantasy writing...

...I would agree that Nasty Pelosi is ‘baked’.

She used to spout ‘half baked’, socialist ideas but now, her mind seems very much ‘baked’. She should have gone into a nursing home about 15 years ago.

No. Not the best place for her by any means, most certainly not at all...

Dems have an average 10pt lead in the generic ballot.
