The fact that she remains leader after 4 consecutive embarrassing losses just shows how addicted democrats are to identity politics
They won the House vote in 2012.
But never came close to reclaiming the house. Winning safe districts in cities by massive margins does nothing for democrats
Nevertheless, the path is definitely there for Democrats to reclaim it, and it would be a more sustainable majority than the 2007-2011 facade that was built on the backs of dozens of rural red districts that they should've had no business winning.
In fact, the longest-lasting trifecta in modern US history has been for only four years--from 1976-1980, and 2002-2006. That's why I think Democrats retaking the House in 2018 has a much higher likelihood than many posters here are giving credit for. Americans have historically favored divided government, and the stage is already being set for a backlash of sorts. We just don't know how severe it could/will be yet.
well 1961-1969 was also a trifecta
