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.

If we lose Texas, we’re finished.
Prayer alert.
We saw the beginning of this more than a week ago, with the “popular vote” being regurgitated by all our usual domestic enemies.
A Fox News guest said last week that 500,000 Californians called for jury duty in 2016 admitted they were not U. S. Citizens and dismissed from jury duty.
How many voted?
How in the hell could they have won with such HUGE margins when the elections were so close they were still counting two weeks after the election??? This is utter BS!!!!
More fake news, as there is no popular vote in the House.
In predominantly Democrat districts turnout was close to 200%.
There must be a way to counter “Operation Anti-Americans 24/7/365”; the incessant barrage of leftwing news is taking its toll. Trump beat it (barely) with a Twitter feed; other leaders should learn. The “mainstream” media works for elites that despise us and our traditions; we need to provide an alternative - especially for young voters.
Hey GOP, the tuneup should start with shutting down voter fraud.
What the heck is with the HOR “popular vote” crap?
Voter ID.
Purge voter rolls.
Prosecute voter fraud.
Compare voter rolls to other states voter rolls. Especially NY and FL.

that’s a timely question no one will answer. Cali. gets their jury pool from both DMV and Voter registration.
Exactly, their premise would be that a 100% Democrat district in LA should have its votes also elect a representative for a conservative district in rural Nebraska. IOW the destruction of our Constitutional system so that NY and California can dictate to the whole country.
The Democrats broke the laws and the GOP let them steal the election results
Everyone realizes the state R parties have done a terrible job of nurturing and grooming great Trump-lime candidates who can win hugely. Where are our conservative, populist Betos and Alex’s?
We got rid of a lot of RINO dead weight and Nevertrump buffoonery but the benches were empty. Watch Trump, then find young people who say and do the same things.
The rapid rise of Candace Owens proves I can be done
You can see the blue line creeping in. Immigration, legal and illegal, ruined the republic. Prepare accordingly.
nonexistent and intentionally stupid false “Stat”. there is no such thing as “popular vote in the house”. it doesn’t exist, you don’t get anything for it, and it doesn’t mean anything.
