Whether we hold the Senate or regain the House probably depends on the size of that victory. There are already straws in the wind that indicate the Republicans will fare well in both House and Senate. For example, Tillis in North Carolina looks to have dodged the bullet, even Arizona Senator Martha McSally could get carried along by Trump.
We only need 17 house seats to take it back and there are plenty of districts that Trump carried that are in play. There are also straws in the wind, for example, former Congressman Issa looks like he will regain his seat. Republicans are not going to be caught with their pants around their ankles while the Democrats are ballot harvesting in California.
This is not 2018, we do not have a special counsel pursuing a president he knows to be innocent and contributing (along with Rino reps) to our loss of the House.
Finally, I think there is a good chance for a substantial win even approaching a landslide, defined by modern terms, if, as we suspect, the independents break for Trump. If they do I do not think they will be in a mood to split their ballots.
So let's see how long Trump's coattails prove to be.
