Our House campaign really was a pretty big fail

yes, the House was going to be a very heavy lift but we are hearing basically no gain for Democrats. If those are the numbers hold up this was a major, gigantic fail and not all of it could be blamed on gerrymandering. Net gain of one seat in NY, net of 4 in Illinois, net of two in NH, no loss in MA. Net gain of 3 in Florida. Yet even with those gains we end up losing seats. If that is true that is just terrible. We couldn't beat a guy in TN who despite running as a Conservative Christian on moral issues had slept with and tried to force a patient of his to get an abortion. Really, we can't beat that kind of hypocrite. Someone's head should be rolling over this.

Anyone thinking otherwise is uninformed. The majority of the RWNJ were voted in only two years ago. It's a four year cycle.

We did MUCH better than expected. I'm thrilled!
