I know there are a segment if Sandernista dead-enders who claim there is no difference between the parties...blah blah Neoliberalism blah blah...but owning the House will allow Dems to produce popular legislation that will die in the Republican Senate.
I do worry about Democratic messaging. Like many, I've been very impressed with the speed and focus of the Lincoln Project in the anti-Trump ads that they've produced. Before a newscycle has ebbed, they have an ad on the Internet. Perhaps the real impediment to Democratic politics is their reliance on poll-tested, consultant-based, non-offensive messaging. Nixonian "nutcutting" isn't really the Democrat's style, but they need to find some points and hammer them. They especially need to follow the Lincoln Project and Karl Rove's technique of hitting your opponent's strengths.
