Why do Dem chances of flipping the House keep increasing even though @realDonaldTrump is consolidating his base? At least 3 reasons:
-GOP is shrinking
-Independents are #walkingaway
-Health care costs are rising due to GOP sabotage
Dems have #ABetterDeal that is #ForThePeople.

Bad news for Trump: Rising GOP chance of losing House

Democrats now have their best shot at winning the House, according to Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball that just shifted 17 races in their favor.
Why it matters: It's the first time this cycle that the analysts at the University of Virginia Center for Politics are giving Democrats better than a 50% chance of winning the House. "[T]he Democrats now look like soft favorites to win a House majority with a little more than 100 days to go."
Sabato, along with his Crystal Ball team at the University of Virginia Center for Politics, has been among the most conservative analysts, repeatedly telling us that House control was a coin flip, despite widespread projections of a Democratic takeover.
"This president is not popular, and no one believes there is any chance the GOP comes out of this election with more seats than they hold now," the Crystal Ball's Kyle Kondik writes.
