What Red Wave?

A brief history of midterm elections.  All references from Wikipedia.  GOggle it yourself.

 In 1994, Republicans wrested control of Congress from Bill Clinton, by picking up six Senate seats and 54 House seats.

In the 1998 midterms, Republicans retained control of both the House and Senate.

In 2002 under George W Bush, Republicans had a net gain of 2 in the Senate and gained 8 in the House.

In 2006, the Democrats gained 6 Senate seats and 31 seats in the Hous3.

In the 2010 midterms, during Obana's first term Republicans picked up 6 seats in the Senate and picked up 63 seats in the House.

In the 2014 midterms, the Republicans picked up 9 seats in the Senate and the House picked up an additional 13 seats, giving Republicans the largest majority since 1928

In 2022 as I write this, the day after the elections, we are simply not sure who controls the House or the Senate.  No red wave materialized, in defiance of the pollsters and the history of midterm elections.  Generally, the president's opponents gain seats.  Right now, we're not sure, but even if we gain a slim majority in the House and hold the status quo in the Senate, we can say that the Republicans failed to meet expectations. Biden won this one.

Both Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell should immediately step down as party leaders.  Along with whomever is the head weenie at the RNC.  They failed completely.
