Speaker 1: With the drive by media in election analysis overdrive, Politico
Speaker 1: has just noticed another reason for Democrats to be unhappy now.
Speaker 1: So far, Democrats didn't take over the Senate as they
Speaker 1: believe they would. They did not expand their reach in
Speaker 1: the House. There was no blue wave. But there's more
Speaker 1: bad news for them. Political reports the Democrats performed horribly
Speaker 1: in the state legislative races and that the state power
Speaker 1: deficit is going to impact American politics for at least
Speaker 1: the next ten years. Political warns this could ultimately mean
Speaker 1: more Republicans in both Washington and in state capitals across
Speaker 1: the Fruited Plain. Not remember something, folks, Because of Barack
Speaker 1: Hussain Obama, the Democrats posted horrific losses in many state legislatures.
Speaker 1: The country was so disgusted. After the first two years
Speaker 1: of Obama, Democrats lost over seven hundred seats everything from
Speaker 1: dog Catcher to the Senate. Republicans took over the majority
Speaker 1: of state legis slaters, and ever since the Democrats have
Speaker 1: been trying to get those back and they've failed. And
Speaker 1: the predicted blue wave that never materialized totally demoralized them
Speaker 1: because they failed again. Now there's the census and the
Speaker 1: Republicans are going to control most of the redistricted seats
Speaker 1: for the next five election cycles, and they ought to
Speaker 1: use that power to the fullest extent possible without apology,
Speaker 1: because elections do, indeed have consequences.
