I was 12 in ‘94, so I didn’t know much about politics, but it’s always good to throw the bums out. A certain health care plan was a big reason for the win, and they want to bring it back.
It would be hard to overstate how incredible that victory was. At the time it occurred, it had been 48 years since the Republicans won Congress from a Democrat President (1946). Flash forward 2 years and when we won a majority for a 2nd time in a row, that was the first time that had occurred since 1926 and 1928 (although we technically won a very narrow majority with the 1930 elections, the Dems organized the House — although Tory Democrat Speaker Cactus Jack Garner was so Conservative that he’d make most of our most Conservative Republicans today look like Socialists).
In my own state, we went from a rodent Governor and 2 rodent Senators and majority rodent House delegation (6D-3R) and almost completely flipped it (we fell short of a 6R-3D breakdown by only a very narrow margin), a total revolution... or so we thought at the time. :-\
