Funny how you left out the bolded word in your thread title. Why was that?

Republicans did even better than expected in Florida. That's about the only state that you can say that about.
Don't keep up I see.

This is hysterical!

I have lived in Florida for 22 years and the beach is still the beach. No houses have been lost to the ocean except during a hurricane. Aren't we half way into our 20 year max until we are completely covered in water? Things like what you are predicting take millions of years. You climate alarmist are pretty funny.

The Supreme Court's stance on abortion is the only reason Democrats avoided a red wave.

No one ever said we’re going to be flooded in 20 years.

Seeing how fast the icecap in Greenland and Antarctica are thawing, it’s inescapable that sea level will eventually rise and flood out many cities. I considered this before I bought beachfront property in Florida. Then I found out the ocean is rising 5 millimeters per year. That’s 2 inches per decade. Yes, I will be long dead before it affects me.

I don’t think it had anything to do with it really. There was still an unprecedented and unforeseen anti Trump/not FOR Dems vote. As long as that exists the Dems will outperform every cycle.

So only the candidates that Trump endorsed lost?

Many did but bottom line is GOP cannot win a high turnout election ever. In a midterm if Trump wasn’t a topic of discussion we’d have seen a much much lower turnout than we did

But would there have been a red wave if Trump retired from politics and never endorsed anyone?
I seriously doubt it.
Majority of America is pro-abortion, and that is at odds with the Supreme Court, and that is why there was no red wave.

"No one ever said we’re going to be flooded in 20 years."

Dems have such short memories!

"Dec, 1, 2008
"Some of the most memorable images from Al Gore’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth"

"His narration tells the audience that, due to global warming, melting ice could release enough water to cause at 20-foot rise in sea level “in the near future.”

https://scienceline.org/2008/12/ask-...venient-truth/

"When co-anchor Katie Couric asked Al Gore on the May 24, 2006 Today show “What do you see happening in 15 to 20 years if nothing changes?...Even Manhattan would be in deep water”, he replied: “Yes, in fact the World Trade Center Memorial site would be underwater.”
Earlier, in January 11, 2006 on the same show, Obama Science Czar John Holdren’s prediction was even more terrifying than Gore’s: “There is an even greater threat that scientists can only speculate about. As global temperatures rise, they may cause the massive West Antarctic Ice Sheet to slip more rapidly. Then we’ll be facing a sea-level rise not of one to three feet in a century, but of 10 or 20 feet in a much shorter time. The Supreme Court would be flooded. You could tie your boat to the Washington Monument. Storm surges would make the Capitol unusable.”

Now back to the topic at hand. Remember when all you leftists and the media you control claimed Florida was doing it all wrong and as a result, DeSantis was killing all the people who would have voted for him?

How did that turn out in Florida?

We have 435 house elections , Republicans net win is maybe 3 seats , and I don't even mean their net margin in Congress

I mean without redistricting, your net win was 3.
