Maybe a dozen house seats and a net gain of a few Senate seats. Enthusiasm is going to be a bigger factor for us than anything else, frankly. Those hateful assholes are very motivated to get to the ballot box, and that's going to be the difference. Still, it won't carry them to what most people seem to be predicting, largely for the reasons your buddy states.
