Interesting point by Nate Silver before, that it may not be that there’s any late trend for the Dems but that massive fundraising advantage is now kicking in, flooding the zone with ads, in some cases agst GOPs that didn’t know they were vulnerable, didn’t raise enough cash.

3/ Actually still referred to Obama as president. It’s a very Trump district. Don’t count him out by any means. But it’s a good example of the pattern. One reason why Nate has said he thinks some GOPs in redder districts will fare worse than those in ...
4/ more purple districts, because they didn’t prepare in time.
