Politico giveth and taketh away

Politico's top headline this morning is as striking as it is unsettling: "Democrats: Cede the House to save the Senate."

The story's lede confirms this jarring state of affairs:

With Democrats’ grasp on the Senate increasingly tenuous--and the House all but beyond reach--some top party donors and strategists are moving to do something in the midterm election as painful as it is coldblooded: Admit the House can’t be won and go all in to save the Senate.

Much of the following text then mitigates the boldness of both headline and lede, and the story eventually ends with:

Many Democratic donors ... have no intention of doing that.

So there you have it. Democratic donors are ceding the House, except for the many Democratic donors who are not. Got it?
