Axios: Democrats may have already won the House Stop It

The above headline is one that I don't like even if it rings true. There are several reasons why it is dangerous for Democrats to believe them. Democrats are in the driver's seat in the 2018 elections, but the electorate can turn on a dime based on events they have no control of that are bound to happen.

Take a pass on this election? The most dangerous position the Dems can take right now is the idea that the election and the House are in the bag.
That would be rank stupidity.

I am not 100% sure Axios if left leaning. A lot of articles I’ve read seems more right wingy.

They are even showing up in big numbers for primaries, which usually don't get much attention, and a Dem. always wins, of course, except for jungle primaries.
