Plus a national shift of 16.5 points of margin (55,641 votes) that no campaign controls.

What has to be true
  1. Bass wins half of the ticket splitters leaning Morrison, the ceiling.
  2. Coon Rapids, Champlin and Anoka sit within single digits on the starting line. They are the northern edge of the district and the natural first calls.
  3. A national wave of about 16.5 points arrives on top of a flawless campaign.
  4. Anything short of that is still a result worth building: every point gained here is a list of identified voters for the next race.
