And even though the democrats didn't win back the senate this year - more people voted democrat than republican in both the House and Senate elections. It was the highest mid-term turn out since Nixon era.
Oh and a lot of those republicans that won in the senate - many of them were VERY VERY CLOSE. Rick Scott and Ted Cruz just scraped in. And we all know Florida and Texas suppressed black and latino voters, closed down voting places or undermanned them hoping the voters would give up and go home and not vote.
LOL. Excuses, excuses. Republicans had a red tsunami as a referendum on Obama's first midterm, followed by more tsunamis throughout his presidency. Historically, the minority party always gains seats in the midterms. The fact that the blue wave was rather wimpy compared to the last eight years under Obama is very telling. Democrats are embracing Socialism, which is sure to scare the bejesus out of voters in future years.
