House Republicans Looking at '100-Year Majority'

I don't know about 100 years, but the way the GOP controls the statehouses, the 2020 redistricting cycle is virtually assured to lock in even further congressional advantages for the party. Frankly, the number of competitive House seats might dwindle to no more than a couple of dozen out of 435 --- and a look at the map indicates just how dreadful the Democrats have it in the years ahead.

That said, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. One hundred years is a long time. I'd be satisfied to hold onto the House for a decade while the GOP continues to build a majority coalition which consigns the Democrats to long-term minority status.

Yes, Barack Obama has damaged the brand that bad.

At the Hill, "House Republicans eye ‘100-year majority’."
