“All House seats are up every election cycle. As I said (when I corrected the typo) we won 223 seats and lost 211 seats after doing the right thing, which was the third best House results for Republicans since 1948.
Why is that a problem for you?”
Because we LOST seats to the Democrats from the previous cycle, for the third time in a row.
The more accurate description...
We WON 223 seats(three less than the previous election) and lost 211 seats after doing the right thing, which was the third best House result for Republicans since 1948.
And you think that's a problem.
So then what's the point in having 226 seats instead of 223 seats if you can't use your majority to do the right thing?
How many seat majority are you waiting for? 250?
300?
And God forbid we do the right thing when we have 300 seats and then we lose three seats after that.
What would your reaction be then?
That we shouldn't have impeached because we *gasp* lost three seats and are down to 297???
And of course there is no guaranty that we wouldn't have lost three seats anyway if we didn't impeach, because then your base becomes lethargic and doesn't turn out.
