It’s pretty common for the party holding the White House to lose seats in the midterm. GOP can only lose 22 and still have the majority. Pennsylvania redistricting costs 5 already. California resignations in purple districts probably another 4-5. House flipping to the Dems is not a radical call at all.

At that point the Democrats can subpoena Trump’s past tax returns.

Finally a sane response. Most here are in denial. I agree with you. We have to expect some loss of seats. That is natural. I also agree that subpoenaing the Trump tax returns is almost a no-brainer for the Dems if they win the House. In fact they would be derelict in their duty representing their constituents if they don't go after Trump from day one...

My thought as well. I haven't seen yet whether we're expecting to pick up any dem seats to offset the likely losses.

The general trend of special elections has not been promising.
