They won by the largest margin in midterm history getting 8.8 million more votes nationally than republicans. Percentage wise it was a 53.1% to 45% split.

Obviously, national numbers don't mean much for actual seat changes (even though they flipped 41) but it does show what the people think and how important it is for the GOP to continue to manipulate voting districts to make sure things aren't fair.

The best part of the midterm aftermath was the usual suspects bargaining that the house doesnt matter, thus proving they havent been paying attention to politics as recently as Bush

That was the exact same rhetoric we heard from the Dems after 2012 and 2014

"Focus on the Presidency and Senate. That's all that matters now."

Look how that worked out lol

the real lesson seems to be "focus on the narrative"

GOP in Wisconsin already making moves after getting pummeled in the midterms.

They are pushing legislation forward to weaken the incoming dem governor's power, stop the new government from dismissing a current law suit against Obama Care, and eliminating early voting.

Democracy at its finest.
