"The data is enough to show the weaker claim that losing this many seats is not all that unusual for a 6th year president or a sign of total collapse."

It is unusual in that there usually is a reason for it, over and above it being the 6th year. Again, the Great Depression dragging on, civil rights and Watergate. It is intellectually dishonest to pretend that it is decoupled from that. These things don't just sail out of the blue, it is the electorate trying to send a message. Losing some seats is common in a mid-term election. Losing 30 isn't. Unless there is something else going on.

Damn.......and they accuse us of whining.
