I expect many of the GOP redistricted seats to end up dummymandered. While VA is a setback it doesn't change the underlying reality that we're going to be taking back the House. With shifts like we've been seeing, it seems to me this is the dumbest possible election to experiment with redistricting on the GOP side.

We shall see... I predict a robust majority.
