FROM ANOTHER THREAD and FREEPER willk:
First midterm election for new President:
Clinton 1994
House -54
Senate -8
Obama 2010
House -63
Senate -6
Trump 2018
House -30 (roughly)
Senate +4 or +5”
Obama and Clinton didn’t have to deal with 40 anti-Trumpers retiring. Otherwise Trump would have probably maintained the house too.
Thanks Paul Ryan you gutless wonder!
And let’s see Nancy govern. Hopefully this pacified the ‘Mob’ and we can get back to some civility. I hope Thomas retires in December and Trump puts on another young Conservative to the Cory. Overall a great night. We got bishops and rooks, the RATs got pawns.
Thanks for that. Considering everything, the Republicans did well.

Great point. But I doubt they really retire. Most will stay around the beltway and leech off their access to Congress as lobbyists.
YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO 1934!!!! for the last time a sitting President knocked out FOUR incumbents senators of the other party!!!
I’m concerned about the new dem governors carving out even odder district lines but I dont know enough about the procedure to weight in on how to avoid it.
Remember. The dems just won the house for 2 years.
THE JUDGES WILL BE AROUND FOR 10 TO MAYBE 20 TIMES THAT!!
WE VOTED IN A GENERATION OF CHANGE WITH TRUMP.
Nothing to feel bad about and yes the house will harass him and HARM themselves by bringing impeachment proceedings possibly.
But now we have even MORE R senators and even if the flaky ones waver, Trump ain’t being kicked out.
