18. For the mid-terms....the last votes...almost all Senators voted to repeal.

They were re-elected.

That's the point I'm making.

Saying that one thing that is common among members of a group, does not mean that one thing caused something that happened to the group. Especially when you find out that that common thing is common to an even larger group of the same subgroup.

There is always something common among members of all groups. Just making a statistical point. The fact that 33 Republican House members who had brown eyes weren't re-elected does not mean they weren't re-elected because they have brown eyes.
