10. We so should have done it when we had control of both the House and Senate

Tbh, unless Trump or Congress just does insanely unpopular things, the soonest we can realistically take back the House would be 2022, and ONLY then if we can stop and reverse Rethug gerrymandering post 2020 Census. If we get blown out at State legislative levels and further gerrymandering occurs, it will be 2032 before we get a shot, unless the Rethugs (which they surely must, I hope) blow up and turn the nation against them. The Senate is looking like 2024 at the soonest, maybe, maybe (small chance, but better if we hold them sub 57 seats in 2018) 2022, but so much depends on the 2018 midterms, where the Rethugs have a more than legitimate shot at hitting 60 seats.
