I'm sure Trumplings will continue to delude themselves but the numbers are what they are

The raw vote margin, which is slightly over 9 million, is the largest gap between the two parties in the history of midterms, according to Wasserman. And the 8.1% spread between Democrats and Republicans is, according to Princeton professor Sam Wang, a larger percentage-point differential than in any recent wave midterm election including 1994 (R+7.1%), 2006 (D+8.0%), 2010 (R+7.2%) and 2014 (R+5.7%)
Given those raw vote numbers, you might be wondering why House Democrats didn't pick up even more seats earlier this month. And the answer, in a word, is redistricting.
