^^ You really ought to get off CNN once in awhile. What you repeated is a liberal talking point designed to stoke enthusiasm for the uninformed. That would be the Democrat base. Republicans knew they were in a pickle where the House was concerned when they realized how many of their members were getting out.

In the House there were 18 seats up for grabs that incumbent Republicans vacated. They quit. While over in the Senate, there were 3 Republican seats vacated by incumbent Republicans. In fact, in a couple of cases Republican House members quit to run for the Senate. One of those being Arizona's Martha McSally. And Ron DeSantis quit the Congress to run for the Governor of Florida, and it looks like it would have taken a high profile candidate like him to pull it off. But if not for all those empty seats, it's highly unlikely that the Dems would be celebrating like a last place football team that just scored a TD with the score now 50 - 6 and gesturing 'we're number one.' Not quite accurate. In any case it's much harder to defeat an incumbent than another Johnny come lately. If you do a little research you'll see that more than a few of those Dem victories came via gerrymandering.

But I'll tell you what I think. If the Dems act like a bunch of rabid libs and try to raise taxes and impeach Trump, (which they will) they'll lose it all right back in 2020.
