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.

The California ballot had two Democrats and no Republican for US Senator.
That alone can fully account for the difference.
On two years, the Democrats gained over 1 million new voters from people who became citizens since November 2016. Plus millions who turned 18. And vote fraud and non citizen voting.
“How many voted?”
Probably all of them. Many states use voter registration rolls as guides to jury selection.
Frankly, the odds of seeing our nation restored back to its founding principals - do not look good. However, history gives me some hope!
For a number of years, Hitler and the NAZIs appeared unassailable. Hitler and the NAZIs are no more. The book of Esther speaks of Haman and his allies who hated and wanted to destroy God's people. In the end, the King and God's people destroy Haman and all who hated God's people. Christians were persecuted by Imperial Roman for centuries. Imperial Roman is no more. The Soviet Union persecuted Christians and enslaved nations. The Soviet Union is no more.
History is replete with tyrannical governments, systems, religions and philosophies, which are no more! Let us pray and work so that - those who hate our nation and its founding principals; those who hate our republican form of government; those who undermine our Constitution - be no more!
The dems win by the most blatant cheating that has ever happened in the history of the world; even a banana republic would blush! And the worst part of it is, they are just getting away with it, nothing will be done. And so our Republic ends.
And deport illegals! Even if they do not vote (which I think they do) they boost population in democrat states giving them more representatives and electoral votes.
Look it is not the GOP party that is to blame for this, the dems have a huge number of ridiculous idiotic criminal candidates who get elected, their leadership does not do nearly as well recruiting decent candidates as the Republicans do. The problem is VOTER FRAUD and that is where our attention needs to be focused. We do not need to be distracted by whether or not the GOP candidate ran as good a campaign as we would like. That is not the issue, and at this point, not worth mentioning. What is needed is laser-like focus on the cheating, and an aggressive and resolute insistence on our part to the point of taking up our flags, fifes and drums and marching to our state capitols and to Washington DC to stop it.
California, which may be 20% foreign by now, provided nearly half the margin (3.5 million). And remember, many Republicans in California had NO REASON to vote at all! Both candidates for Senate were Democrats, and in many house districts, there was zero chance of a Republican winning.
In California, Republicans have about as much voting freedom as slaves did in 1830. They have “Taxation with only one side representation”. No one knows how many Republicans in California are missing from the vote totals nationwide due to having no one to vote for.
this is kind of one of those statistics you have to dig into a little bit, the fact is democrats owned the house for years after Watergate so there was never really a chance for them the gain big because they were the establishment for so long. Their still going to be at a smaller majority than the Republicans are now. Their house gains were average historically speaking.
By vote fraud.
Dems are just getting better at fixing elections. Hey they do it all of the time and they are just broadening out their application.
All good ideas and there are a lot more we can do to have honest elections and knowledgeable voters. But that means the Republican leadership (oxymoron) has to do something that is actually constructive
Count all of the democratic votes in all of the districts and compare to the republican votes in all of the districts.
But the bottom line is it is plain ignorance to claim popular vote in any context to Congressional elections. In some states they may have captured a seat by a tremendous percentage, but that really proves nothing. Especially when they usually capture that seat, and usually by large percentages.
Thus my claim of fake news.
All the Democrat safe and uncontested seats in California, New York, Massachusetts, etc., still count towards this mythical House Popular Vote.

Ping for later.
It’s all bullsh*t and everyone knows it. The gutless GOP allowed the commie rats to steal the US House. Half the rat votes were fake.
In 2020, the serious sh*t starts. That’s my prediction. Get ready to rock ‘n roll.
Yes, I know only too well. Lefter and Lefterer. But this article references only the House races. In a lot of California districts, the incumbent Demorat faced token on no opposition from any party. I also noticed while looking it up that, in Massachusetts, 4 of the 9 Congressional Districts had the incumbent 'rat running unopposed.
Says a lot for the future of our representative republic, doesn't it? :(
They’ve been weakened deliberately, and suffer much self-loathing (hence the “Proud Boys”).
along with increased usage of the word ‘democracy’.
