no. a 13 point win was always unrealistic. 2010 was a wave year and the spread was 6.8.
as far as i can tell, not a single competitive seat has gone closer the republican side
so we are back to debating national popular vote vs district votes. Districts in Southern California, New Jersey, Texas, Pennsylvania and North Carolina are going to decide the house, not districts in new york or Oklahoma were they run up the margins.
New York has a few competitive districts - Democrats are trying to defeat Faso in the 19th and Tenney in the 22nd, both areas which voted for Obama in 2012 and Trump in 2016. Upstate New York where both districts are located is more of a purple area like Michigan or Pennsylvania than ultra-blue NYC.
Fortunately, the media is not reporting the decline in the Democratic party. Since most Democrats are not well informed, they will continue to read headlines only, and those headlines will continue to hammer away at Trump with an emphasis on impeachment.
So Democrats, thinking they have won, will not vote.
And Republicans will win.
this is what the democrats offer: Return to government accountability, respect for the constitution and rule of law, fiscal sanity, environmental protections, and a check on a rogue white house.
This is just a few benefits.
What do you get with republicans?
More corruption, more swamp, more insanity, more debt, more environmental degradation, more constitutional crisis.

I'm not sure if you are trying to be really specific or if you honestly just didn't get my point, but ill clarify.
This isn't about NY8, which the Democrat won with 93% of the vote and whether or not they keep that margin, it is about Districts like Texas 23 where the margins the last 10 years have been less than 10% and both parties have held the seat.
I have no dog in the hunt as far as the race goes but for me, it would be the lying.
The actual quote says the "DCCC" should not endorse in primaries, to be clear, a DCCC endorsement comes with monetary benefits and campaign infrastructure.
DNC =/= DCCC
and even if it did, Tom Perez himself is not the DNC, he is an individual and is not putting the DNCs infrastructure behind the candidate.
I see this as people twisting Perez's words or flat out not understanding the difference between an individual endorsing and the entire party doing so.
