    I suppose that if you feel that is truly your purpose.... who are we to be in your way? And frankly, what does that say when some of us cannot correctly interpret even the bumper sticker??

    No, you don't. No one was surprised by the Dem taking over the house because such a thing is not an uncommon occurrence.
    BUT, if you want to continue you down your line, you can say it sent considerably less of a message to Trump that it sent to Clinton in 94 and Obama in 2010.

    1994, in the middle of President Bill Clinton's first term. As a result of a 54-seat swing in membership from Democrats to Republicans, the Republican Party gained a majority of seats in the United States House of Representatives for the first time since 1952 and a majority of votes for the first time since 1946. It was also the largest seat gain for the Republican Party since 1946, and the largest for either party since 1948.

    Although the President's party usually loses congressional, statewide and local seats in midterm elections, the 2010 midterm election season featured some of the biggest losses since the Great Depression. The Republican Party gained 63 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, recapturing the majority, and making it the largest seat change since 1948 and the largest for any midterm election since the 1938 midterm elections

    The 2018 United States elections were held in the United States on Tuesday, November 6, 2018...In the House of Representatives elections, Democrats made a net gain of at least 40 seats.

    In the days before heavy gerrymandering. How about the fact that 8.6 million more americans voted for democrats than republicans. 2.5 times bigger gap than in 2016 and the largest midterm gap in history.

    Nah, don't listen to the voters. Dismiss it as nothing but a flesh wound.

    There were two messages sent by the voters.
    We do not reject democrats.
    We do not reject republicans or Trump.
    What the country collectively said is that we still have to work together to get anything done.

    throughout our history, the incumbent party has lost seats in both the house & senate, however this most recent midterm saw a change, prolly because most everyone saw through the left's blind rage, so the incumbent kept the senate ;)

    Trump can't even work with his own party to get things done, right now. Will there be a trump shutdown by not signing the bi partisan CR that doesn't give him his stupid wall?

    Sure everyone saw thru it, so explain why 8.6 million more voted for the "left's blind rage" than the incumbent.
