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.

The problem is that they only need 24 seats. 9 right from California and 8 from New York....that only leaves 7 seats throughout the country. You don't think they can do it with seats like PA-15 and others. I think you are being very naive.

Yes amnesty was just great....Ugh.

Exactly. While I’m not sold on the notion that every CA and NY Repub is in grave danger, the fact remains that there is a lot of low hanging fruit for Dems. And the National environment favors them. Dem bade is totally energized.
