In 2010, Republicans gained 63 House seats. And, in most midterms, the minority party gains seats in both the House and the Senate. Democrats actually lost seats in the Senate and didn't come anywhere close to flipping 63 House seats. So, their big blue wave, while impressive for them, wasn't as big of a wave as they think. And, like I said, both parties make the mistake of thinking that whenever they gain seats it is because voters are behind their policies. Both Republicans and Democrats have been failures and, as such, this is why the minority party always loses seats in the midterms. The Democrats I'm sure will win more before they bottom out and the country decides once again that they don't like Democratic policies and the tide will shift all over again back and forth in a never ending see saw. What we need is bipartisanship, not a winner take all policy of to the victor goes the spoils. Whenever one side wins an election 50.5% to 49.5% they call it a clear mandate to cram their side's policies down the throats of everyone.
