No one is predicting that the Democrats will get the 30 pickups they need to take back the House majority.

People like Ted Cruz, who has tried to position himself as the best second choice for [Donald] Trump supporters, wouldn't condemn him.

African-American voters are not nearly as enthusiastic about [Hillary] Clinton as they were about [Barack] Obama.

Ted Cruz is a small-government conservative.

The Republican Party, right now, is a conservative populist party.

Donald Trump's staffing up a pretty traditional, very conservative Republican government, not a populist outsider government, at least not yet.

For Democrats, anything less than 15 net pickups will be a disappointing outcome [in presidency race].
