A lot can happen in a year, so its not really possible to know what the electorate's mood will be by late October 2018, when a lot of the close races will break one way or another.

I'm in the "not sure" group.  I don't even care about the polls.  The only poll that matters are the votes that are counted on Election Day.  I think it certainly will be a big challenge for Team Blue to get those 24 seats.

If they don't, is Nancy Pelosi gone by 2020?  Do the Democrats give up on the House in 2020?  Does it motivate the party or cause it to lose hope of defeating Donald Trump?

If the Republicans have a decreased majority (around 220-225 seats), how does the change the House?  Will it make it more bipartisan because of the need to get votes from both parties to pass anything?

Does anyone think its likely for a near split (218-217) to occur?  Has that ever happened before?
