If Clinton had won, it’s likely Democrats would have to wait until 2028 until they control the Presidency and Congress
I agree that had Clinton won and had the Republicans still won the House and the Senate, it would likely be awhile until the Democrats would control all three, given the strong trend of midterm loss.
It’s probably correlated but it seems easier to imagine the scenario where Clinton got 10,000 more votes in Michigan, and 120,000 in Florida. Rather than winning three seats in the Senate and 20+ in the house (and still be massively behind in state legislature).
These two outcomes are correlated, so it’s unclear to me how true this statement is.
