-Trump lost popular vote by 2.9 million

-Senate Ds got 18 mil more votes than Senate Rs in 2018

-Senate GOP represents 15 mil fewer Americans than Senate Dems

-House Dems won largest midterm margin of victory in history

1. They just make up shit

Whatever suits their quest for power and having red state theocratic mentality ruling over the majority of the people who otherwise oppose nearly EVERY issue at hand (gay rights, choice, business power, money in elections, environment, etc) then so be it. Even if the Dems had picked up Senate seats it wouldn't matter.

And I am sorry dickbag Republicans, you don't get a mandate when only 1/3 of the Senate was up for re-election you stupid feces.

2. I don't know why they bother.

Just say you have the opportunity and you’re taking it. Why even make things up?

3. This is who they are.

In business, politics or social environments.

4. They probably do have a mandate, but not from the citizens they are supposed to represent.

I’m thinking v more and more they’ve signed on with something. Not sure what, they don’t really like trump, but they are doing everything to keep him in power. They know their reign is over, so they’ll do anything to stay in power.
