quote:As of the 111th Congress (2009-2011). the Dems had a 79 seat margin. They lost all of that in the aforementioned first midterm election slaughter (two-year curse). Conditions aren't identical and redistricting efforts will shore up some Republican gains, but I have a hard time believing anybody is holding a 20-50 year majority any time soon. FDR's democratic coalition held on for as long as any in US history, and even its 63 year run had a couple of interruptions. Maybe one party will make it through 10 cycles at some point, but I wouldn't count on it. 50 years? No way.
The difference is far too wide.
