After flipping dozens of seats in the midterm elections, Democrats are set to take control of the House of Representatives. Many pundits and analysts have attempted to frame the results as a referendum on President Trump. Among these, there seems to be a consensus that the president has somehow been “repudiated.”

Not so fast.

Basically as it’s been throughout this era, Trump’s position is very similar to Reason at the same stage. They know what happened next.

Democrats lost over 1000 seats in federal, state, and local elections during the Obama years.

Trump did win. It’s the repubikans that threw the house to the rats. On purpose. It’s one big irreparably corrupt uniparty sham in D.C.

They know how to steal and cheat.. they know .. the votes dont matter. Its who counts...

how many .. how many .. How many races this election that seen won by republicans ... magically shifted to democrats?.. We’re seeing it everywhere in every state at ever level

have you see any.. any..
Any shift the other way?

Really we should draw a graft..a trendline for every election senate house governors.. In every area show how the reporting went and how they all have this “magic spike” this late magic spike in the count for democrats and correlated to was counting the votes it’s would be undeniable if you look at it

Everywere you have a democrat You see blatant open corruption now and no one questions the press camouflage it

There was a reason George Soros of the last 20 years has been targeting at low levels put his people in charge of elections

“It doesn’t matter who people vote for it matters and counts the votes” Josef Stalin... George Soros and left know that..

Yes there is clear fraud in some places, but not all the dem wins were a result of fraud. I guess that’s easier to take then to realize people in this country actually voted for these anti American lunatics.

“Basically as it’s been throughout this era, Trump’s position is very similar to Reason at the same stage. They know what happened next.”

... except this country is nothing like it was in 1980 and 1984 when Reagan won NY and CA. This isn’t even close to the same country that endured 9/11. Decades of indoctrination via the MSM and our schools has taken its toll.

Call it the fraud and gerrymandering wave, definitely not the blue wave.

RE:"...realize people in this country actually voted for these anti American lunatics."

The reality of what happened in this election should be a shock to everyone who cares about our country.

We can start with the election of anti-American racist Muslim, Keith Ellison being elected as Attorney General in Minnesota. But I would offer that this is no surprise given that Minnesota stood silent as their Senate seat was stolen by liberal buffoon Al Franken on the strength of proven illegal voting. Minnesota also elected two Muslim women to congress, one of whom "married" her own brother in a scam to secure legal immigrant status in America. Both of these women won by wide margins.

But, what should really be causing a wake up alarm is the neck and neck race between Krysten Sinema, a far left socialist anti-American activist and combat veteran, A-10 pilot Martha McSally in Arizona where their state's allegiance to our constitution has been eroded by former senators John McCain, Jeff Flake and a flood of illegal immigrants who vote with impunity.

Perhaps the most alarming fact to note is that 4,024,777 people in Texas voted for socialist Beto O'Rourke in an attempt to unseat constitutional conservative Ted Cruz.

I think these trends along with the theft battles still going on in Georgia and Florida should be causing grave concerns from all who care about our future and that of our grand children.
