we won the house -- they said it wasn't possible

[unblock]

yes, i know recent polls and forecasts had us picking up even more seats.

but let's keep it in perspective.

back in the early part of this decade, when the republican-gerrymandered maps went into effect, many analysts said it would be impossible for democrats to win the house, period, until the next census.


we did it!

and even a one-seat majority is enough to win all the committee chairs and start investigations into the massive criminal wrongdoing on the part of donnie and his gang.

1. Thank-you. They even said that at the beginning of 2017

2. This highlights the need in voting for even conservative or moderate Democrats over Republicans.

Each and every Democrat elected will count towards the Democrats controlling that house of Congress along with its agenda and power. I hope the Left can manage to better grasp this concept.

3. Yes, those are the races we have to target and not have anymore of...

so-called more progressive Dems going after incumbent Dems like we had earlier in this campaign year.

Those internecine fights gained us nothing but division in the party, certainly not seats in Congress or state legislatures.

By all means we need to go after repug seats.
