Through much of 2018 and especially in the weeks following the midterm elections, many opinion writers and other political pundits enthusiastically declared the Republican Party dead or at least relegated to life support.
The commentary was eerily reminiscent of the post-2006 declarations that the GOP was finished … over … no longer a viable political party.
Four years later, House Republicans were back in the majority.
When it comes to the GOP’s 2018 loss of the House, perhaps a little historical perspective — one based on numbers, not opinion — might be in order for both Republicans and Democrats, and the media, too. CONT.
