Sullivan:

10.43 pm. Chuck Todd, running the math, says the Dems won’t have a shot at winning the House until 2022. So that’s a permanent veto an anything any Democratic president might ever want to do. How is our system so fixed and our country so polarized that this has come to pass?

Um…Governorships mean redistricting…and that means even if dems cast more votes for the House…they lose if the gerrymandering works right.

60% Dems voting in a state can result in only ONE out of TEN dem representatives getting elected if you spread the votes correctly.

So yes…dems will not have a shot at getting the house back until 2022.
