FULL TITLE: REVEALED: Democrats won control of the House of Representatives by the largest margin since the Watergate scandal
Democrats won the popular vote in the House by the largest margins since the Watergate scandal and resignation of Republican President Richard Nixon.
An analysis by NBC News reveals that Democrats stormed to victory over the Republicans in House races, by a whopping 8.6 million votes in this year's midterms.
NBC reported that number is the largest margin that Democrats have defeated Republicans in a midterm House election since 1974.
That midterm race, shortly after Nixon resigned, allowed Democrats to win the popular vote by 8.7 million votes, NBC reported.
Some commentators have made comparisons between the administrations of Trump and Nixon as special counsel Robert Mueller examines the role of Russia in the 2016 election and whether the president attempted to obstruct justice and end the probe.
Nixon also resisted investigations after his administration attempted to distance itself with five men who broke into the Democratic National Committee's headquarters at the Watergate hotel.
There is some recognition among Republicans that they need a tune-up moving forward.
'I think everybody acknowledges we have a helluva problem,' Josh Holmes, a top political adviser to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told Politico.

You’re missing the point. D’s got way more votes than Rs, is the point, and that is not winning.
More fake news, as there is no popular vote in the House./////
They added up the D vs R popular vote in the 435 CD’s.
When you’re losing the national popular vote by more than 8 million it starts to matter in the electoral college and down ballot races.
“How many voted?”
Com’on U no it was 499,999....
Saw that too.
If they were vigilant enough to show up for Jury Duty why wouldn’t they be vigilant enough to Vote?
Jury Duty gets you $15 Dollars a Day. Voting Democrat gets you a free ride for the rest of your life.
Some dummy really thinks there’s a “popular vote” for the House? You’re a special kind of stupid, eh?
“An analysis by NBC News reveals that Democrats stormed to victory over the Republicans in House races, by a whopping 8.6 million votes in this year’s midterms.”
And probably 5 million were legal votes.
Win the Powerball Lottery while you’re at it.
Cleaning up the Voter Rolls didn’t happen when we controlled all three Branches. It won’t happen now for sure.
As I’ve said many times before, if the Illegal Invaders came here and Voted Republican, then POTUS Bill Clinton would have built a Border Wall 100 feet high with Machine Gun Towers, Minefields and Alligator filled Moats and every Rat Politician would have Voted for it.
If your side has a wave election it is so obvious that you do not have to invent stats to make others see it.
To Dems: If you are explaining how the election was a blue wave then it wasn’t a blue wave.
Only because about 40 Republicans retired at the same time.
They want to make sure their entire Voter Base believes it, and they do.
When the Constitution means nothing to them, Mob Rule will prevail. They are proving the point.
Fake news. Far less than most midterm loses since the Truman years.
Agree ......
I see that point, but the point is they didn’t get them legally with even legal voters. The party that brings out their base in large numbers, usually win. We just failed to bring out the numbers in our base in enough numbers to overcome Democrat cheating.
Voter fraud was illegal back in the days of the “Watergate (Don’t do drugs) Scandal”. Now, it’s absolutely necessary if the ‘RATS are going to have any chance of “winning” any seats.
How many of the 8.6 million votes were cast by the dead, illegals and multiple ballot voting?
I wouldn’t be too proud of your efforts NBC. Your days are numbered as a viable corporation and deservedly so, and the fatal wound inflicted is of your own making.
You mean cheated with voting and election fraud.
How you double the number of seats gained AFTER the election is completely unfathimable and should NOT be celebrated.
The dems are fomenting a war
The GOP wants it that way.
They stole half of the seats!
