You really are in denial about what's going on right now. It's all going to shift to the left

And they are still republican at heart, but trump's views on trade and government bothered them.
The suburbs in America cannot stand the democrats.

How many Dem districts did Trump win?

You'll retain control, but I don't think by a lot.
Hard for you to use the same logic when it doesnt fit your narrative aint it?

WAIT WAIT WAIT are you supposed to feel good about this? People voted for other Republican candidates at a higher rate than they voted for Trump. There wasn't a coat-tail effect this time.
You do know the Republicans won all House races by a vote total of 63.2 million to 61.8 million?

I'll ask Anderson Cooper to lock the # down so we can give you a precise answer. But for shits and giggles we'll go with 12.

Why will this happen? The likes of Clinton or Ellison being the lead in the democratic party?
The ill wills of Farrakhan bringing the party closer together?
Hot damn can someone give a logical reason why any person in there ever living heart and mind could justify the ideas of the left?

Damn, you really have the blinders on. Your party's platform has been rejected at almost every level of government, and you really think...

He predicted a landslide for Hillary.

You gotta love these Prog tards coming back here and making these predictions after they were saying Hillary was going to blow Trump out for a year and a half. They lost every ounce of credibility they have. In other words.. shut the frick up.

The Tea Party was well organized and stood behind a principle. Whatever this is now is a disorganized mess that stands behind misguided feelings, not principle. Much like the Democratic Party as a whole. They're a mess.

The tea party did not start this soon. They started much closer to the mid terms. Also the tea party where issue driven, this is oppose trump driven. I doubt this level of emotion can be maintained for two years. They are gonna turn off the independent voters by then.

A couple of things to consider that aren't in your simplistic evaluation.
1. Midterms are not like a pretty presidential election in terms of turnout.
2. What is the normal D-president, R-representative discrepancy? I would imagine it was worse when Obama won by a larger margin in 2012.
3. What is the R-president, D-representative discrepancy from this past election?
4. Historical changes in the house.
Congressional Election Data
By my quick count 12 of 34 (~35%) elections had an absolute change (not just swing) greater than 24 with average change of 22 and median change of 14.5.
In addition, since 1950 the President's party lost more than 24 seats in 8/16 elections with an average loss of 24.6 and median loss of 22. So a 24 seat loss for the Rs would be about average.
Regardless, you should probably provide a bit more information that the D-president, R-representive split. It is not very informative.
