1. Dude, every two years every House seat is up for election. Republicans won. Young voters were energized by the Dodd decision. Shit happens. A narrow win is still a win.Dude there is nothing impressive about the republicans recapturing the House. Given the dynamics of the number of seats up for re-election and where, it was basically a given republicans would easily take it back. Maybe you’d have a small reason to gloat if you narrowly took back the senate, but there’s a good chance that won’t happen. If you take back the senate, it will come down to one seat in your favor. There is just absolutely nothing impressive about republicans’ performance in this race. Like Joe said, it’s the worse midterm showing since 2002 as far as a party getting its power back.
2. 2022 is a bad year for Republicans as you say, and 2024 will be bad for democrats with more seats to defend. Again, if Repubs take back the Senate in 2022, even by one seat, that's still a big win.
