AHAHAHAHA!!! How's that RED WAVE workin' out for ya, Jow Forums?
>Trump suffered the worst midterm loss in a century, says JP Morgan
>...JP Morgan Asset and Wealth Management’s Michael Cembalest took a look at the vote results (pdf). Adjusted for the strength of the economy, he says they represent the worst performance for a president’s party since 1918...
>“There have been large midterm swings before, but usually when markets were bad, when the economy was bad, or both,” Cembalest writes. “The chart tells the story: midterm House seats lost since 1910 are shown alongside changes in inflation, employment, equity markets and home prices. Based on the hand the GOP started with, they should probably have been able to retain the House. Sometimes, however, money can’t buy you love.”...
>You can also see in the chart that voters respond to more than simply economic fundamentals—see 1994 or 2006. But it’s surprising to see a loss of more than 30 seats at a time when economic indicators suggest boom times.
Trump shat the bed in the midterms despite having the best "fundamentals" for victory in a long time. This is an established fact according to the data. /po;/ will defend this.
Imagine having to manipulate statistics so hard just to try and make a pathetic attempt at making Trump look bad at the mid-terms even though the Republicans lost fewer seats than most in history.

I mean, I don't know what this is supposed to be. That all of the Republican's critics are morons because the economy is doing great, perhaps?

The best increase in senate seats in 100 years. You win some you lose some. Moron.

Bush gained 2 senate seats during his first midterms in 2002. But unlike Trump, Bush also MAINTAINED control of the House.
Noah Wright
Hmm, I wonder what event in 2001 caused Republicans to maintain control of the House in the next cycle?
Perhaps it could have had to do with something about 9/11 and being at war.

For blatant cheating they did pretty horribly.

I'm not sure what you're implying here. Both parties condemned the September 11 attacks. I doubt it benefited one party over another. That was more of a "national unity" moment than one of political division.
