I'm seeing a lot of passing tweets on the Twitters saying that Dems have a legit shot at taking back the house after pussygate.

How likely is that?

IIRC, for every point Hillary wins by the Dems will pick up like 3.33 House Seats. So a 10% win will flip the House.

Latest I've seen from a few of them is that "Trump supporters have been instructed not to answer polls / fake being Hillary supporters", so basically silent majority bullshit.

Also, they think LAT is just showing the tape after effects and are waiting for the post-debate bump.

The GOP establishment is made up of people who are used to obedience and who have great contempt for their common followers. I don't think they ever really conceived that they'd get turned on, and watching them squeal is wonderful. Or will be so long as we still win (which looks almost certain now thank Christ).

It's such a classic tale of hubris. Spend decades convincing people to hate government and reject reality, then never expect that group to realize you are part of government and jump to lies they like better than yours.

I didn't want to believe it but at this point I think their camp is either actively ignoring it out of willful ignorance because they are just that high on themselves, or their goal at this point is not the presidency but for some reason to blow up the Republican Party and somehow make a cash grab when the dust settles

Obama had to tread a fine line during his presidency when dealing with black issues so as not to alienate white people. I wonder if there is going to be a similar dynamic with Hillary and female issues such as equal pay, political underrepresentation, domestic violence, planned parenthood, etc. Women aren't a minority but the massive gender gap in the polls during this election is proof positive that sexism is still rampant. Clinton herself has repeatedly remained silent about the impact of sexism on the disproportionate criticism she has faced. Unfortunately, her paranoia is absolutely justified.

Regardless of any concurrent motive they probably think the end result of just taking their ball and going home would be worse for Trump so he'll see it through.

There's no reason for her to bring it up herself when her followers are smart enough to see it themselves. Meanwhile she's been extremely vocal about women's issues in general.
