And flipped 13 seats in Virginia's House with one more undecided (in VA they call them
Delegates).

The Dems went from a 51-49 to 63-35 majority with 1 pending. Folks that's a rout.

@MoveAlong It's Virginia, a suburb of DC.

@IronHamster Tell yourself whatever you want to hear but it's 13 Republican seats that are now Democrat. Also PA Democrats took all 3 Supreme Court Justice seats that were up for grabs maintaining their 3-2 majority. The Republicans spent a fortune trying to take just one of them.

@MoveAlong It is sad. This problem goes all the way back to Reagan. Reagan was looking for ways to cut expenses and Democrats proposed giving crazy people psychotropic meds and shutting down the asylums. There's just enough of these poor people, a danger to themselves and others, to tip some elections.

@IronHamster Yeah Reaguns was a real piece of work. He cut expenses alright.........on the rich. He was the first Repube prez to cut taxes for the rich. Then when he saw the shortfall in the treasury..........which was not paying off the huge debt he was racking up.......so he was the first prez to tax Social Security to make up for what the rich didn't pay for taxes. The Iran-Contra Scandal.....condoning drugs being flown into the U.S. on Air Force planes.......to pay for arms and munitions to be sent to Iran...........that later became the roadside .bombs that killed our kids in Iraq. Our hero.

@anythingoes477 Reagan? You do not remember when gasoline was so scarce the Feds mandated odd-even days for fill-ups, and double digit inflation from bad government policies, much less growing up under the threat of nuclear annihilation from the evil empire. Reagan's policies rebuilt our economy and collapsed the Iron Curtain.

Reagan's economic policies were derided as "trickle down" but the fact of the matter is that innovation builds the economy. It worked. Unlike when Democrat politicians game the system at our expense, real businesses created jobs for hard working Americans. Compare that to Obama who literally told us we were going to HAVE TO get by with less.
