Democrats Step Up Pursuit of House Republicans Left Limping by Donald TrumpBy ALEXANDER BURNS and JONATHAN MARTINAUG. 28, 2016
LEESBURG, Va. Emboldened by Donald J. Trumps struggles in the presidential race, Democrats in Congress are laying the groundwork to expand the list of House Republicans they will target for defeat as part of an effort to slash the Republicans 30-seat majority and even reclaim control if Mr. Trump falls further.
Mr. Trumps unpopularity, which has already undermined the partys grip on the Senate, now threatens to imperil Republican lawmakers even in traditionally conservative districts, according to strategists and officials in both parties involved in the fight for control of the House.

..game changer. To see the majority shift from Repubs and the Chairs they hold now would be a blow to the Repub stalling of public policy.
The House is where the money gets appropriated. This would devastate their cronys.
Add in the Dem SCourt noms & the gaming of America by the RW would be over.
Winning the House would be the cherry on the icing on the cake.

Let's never forget that anything less than that is essentially meaningless, right?
