The House likely won't go Dem until after the 2020 census, but we can take some seats and even things out a bit. Not all Republicans in the house are batshit crazy, and some would likely vote with Dems to act in the best interest of the country.

20 years ago I would have agreed with 2nd part too. Sadly, they are either crazy or scared to death of the tea baggers.
