I am optimistic enough to believe that the backlash against Trump is enough to overcome the gerrymandering and retake the House.
I tend to agree with you but the uncertainty is the status of Trump a year from now. Resignation, impeachment or still in office. If he is still in office then the House can flip but not the Senate.
