I can’t believe how many FReepers thought we would keep the house. That goes against typical trends for all mid terms, and definitely the anti-trumpers and Ds have been loud and highly motivated. I can’t understand why you all thought Rs were going to keep everything. Forever?
+4 pickup in Senate is biggest pickup in the Senate by a President’s party in midterms since JFK 56 years ago (also +4). Btw Obama lost 63 seats in the house in 2010 (and 6 senate seats!), and Clinton lost 54 house seats in 1994 (and 9 senate seats). Both were re-elected as you all know!
