YOUR SIDE LOST AND LOST BIG.

Not in Minnesota. Your side got 28% of the popular vote. He lost because the public knew he'd follow through with his promises. Our side didn't do as well as they might have because the public didn't trust them to follow through on theirs. Got to work on that.

<<YOUR SIDE LOST AND LOST BIG. >>

If you're talking expectations, you're right.

If you're talking reality/facts, you're wrong. The repubs won 223 of 435 elections, a majority. They keep all leadership posts, including Speaker.

From a power/agenda standpoint, absolutely nothing has changed in the House.

The only thing repubs lost was the expectation game, and if they don't act now, they'll lose the house in 00. They have 2 years to fix their problems and rebuild momentum.

So no, they won.
