Um, and they lost seats in the house.

It was the first time since 1994 not one Republican incumbent lost, and we beat 15 Democrats.

So how do we win then and lose now?

That means President Trump did very well, but the party didn't.

And if you take it a step further, in the last 70 races for the Senate in the presidential year, 69 of the 70 states, however they vote for president, that party wins.

But this time, President Trump won Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, but the Republicans didn't win those Senate seats.

And then when I'm watching the highest number of retirements kind of in modern history, the number of times we're losing discharge petitions, in three weeks we lost more discharge petitions than we have in 30 years.

And you've got to understand what that is.

It's a rule that if you get 218 members of either party to sign a discharge petition, it's about one bill, that bill automatically comes to the floor.

When you do that, you're turning the floor over to the minority.

In my entire political career in Congress, only one time did a discharge petition go, and the speaker at that time, Republican speaker, wanted it to happen.

Now, they just had a discharge petition that Bill passed that was offered by one of the AOC crowd.

So that's a bad sign you're not working together.

And then when the Democrats shut down the government, you're only given 24 months to have a majority.

If I'm in the minority and the House shuts down, the minority is winning because you're not passing.
