What if the Dems take the House?: Distinctly Catholic: Donald Trump is tanking in the polls. If Clinton wins nationally by something like 7 or 8 percent, would the House of Representatives flip?
MB:_Unless the House Freedom Caucus is eliminated in the election, and notion that the House GOP will cooperate with President Clinton is pure fantasy. There is no downside to winning the House-now. The challenge of redistricting is on the state level. As for the Hyde Amendment, most states pay for abortions for the poor with state funds or the medical charities account - which is how hospitals pool their money to pay unpaid bills. Of course, most abortions cost under $200 and 80% are paid for with cash (often from low wage work, like that Big Mac you bought last week). This is not enough of an issue to not hope for a Democratic win - especially because single payer is inevitable and it can’t include the Hyde Amendment.
