Again - We're Hearing About The Demise Of The Repug Party.....

10. Incumbent Party losing seats in the midterms is not "tradition"

It is the historical trend. It has not always happened but most of the time it has. That is why it is being reported.

If there were 50 lollipops and 5 of the fifty were blue and the others red. Would you bet that you would most likely receive a red lollipop or a blue one?

The Republican Party, at least the modern Republican party, has always had fewer numbers than the Democratic Party. What they have that makes up for that deficit is A LOT of money, major advantages in media, AND they cheat, in both legal and illegal ways and they don't care. Democrats want to govern by the will of the people by showing that government can work to help people. Republicans don't give a shit about governing by consent. They want to stay in power and do what they need to do to accomplish that goal.
