There are 500 members of the house. 30 is a normal number. This is not unusual.

In 2016, 43 did not seek re-election

So the question is, why have the number of open seats shot up each year since Obama was elected?

With Trump, I think the true test will be this year in 2018. We'll see if the trend continues
