It'll help the Republicans in districts where the D base is very minority/youth heavy. CA-21, for example.

At the end of the day, it's easier to get people to turn out to oppose something that support something. Without the threat of socialism or gun-grabbers, some reliable R voters are going to stay home. And previously apathetic Dc voters might be driven to turn out to force a check on Republican power.

A D path to a majority almost certainly involves knocking out popular R incumbents in Dem territory. Katko, Comstock, Paulsen, ILR, Reichert, Denham, Coffman, ect.

And if the Dems lose as expected 2 more seats; in the senate, they will gain the Senate right back in 2020, defeating Ernst, Tillis, Sullivan or Daines and Gardner.
Iowa is gone, going full SJW/Hollywood/Coastal elitist pissed the state away. Deal with it, and get over it!

Dude, it's only been one election since Iowa went Democratic, and in Obama's Democratic Party no less. The state could very easily go Democratic again under the right circumstances, and Ernst is by no means a lock for re-election

But that hurts his narrative of "If Democrats want to win again, they need to silence the college students that hurt my feelings on the internet."
