How Democrats Could Win the House in 2016

Kyle Kondik argues that the ascendancy of Donald Trump and Ben Carson just might have cracked the window open for Democrats to retake control of the House of Representatives.

“It’s true that the Democrats’ odds of flipping the 30 seats needed to win back the House of Representatives are just a couple ticks greater than zero. But the two current polling leaders for the Republican presidential nomination, Trump and Carson, happen to be the two candidates almost perfectly designed to turn off voters in the districts Democrats need to retake the House.”
