Summary

The midterm elections are now two weeks away. Some political commentators have an interest in portraying them as one big, suspenseful, down-to-the-wire contest.

results, as far as the House of Representatives are concerned, are pretty much set in stone.

1:16.1

The cake is baked. Republicans are going to win. Democrats are going to lose. The Senate is moving

1:22.7

in that direction. Might already be there. But as far as the House is concerned, this thing is going

to this point over the past 18 months. Number one, as his president might say, number one,
