the Democrats will take control of the nation again for 40 years.

When was the last time the Democrats had control for forty years?

Maybe he meant bowel and bladder control?

I think he's just referring to how long a couple of years feels when they're in control office.

1954 to 1994. They controlled the House continuously during this period, the Senate for all but 6 years, and at all times had a substantial majority of state elected officials around the country. They also held big edges in voter identification, and at times had veto proof majorities in one or both houses of congress. Yes, the Republicans held the White House for 26 of these years, but in truth this is about as close as you can get to political control over a long time. We should be so fortunate.

It ended in 1994.

I'm amazed at these leftists... "we're going to give Arnold 100 days to fix all the problems in CA..." Hell, it took years to get to the place they are now... Just like the federal gubmint. It took the DemonRATs 40 years to screw things up, and they demanded that Newt fix everything in just a few weeks!
