My fellow Americans:
When in the course of human events, a political setback befalls a noble leader — a man of pious mind and body, with a virile heart, who, through his boundless courage on the battlefield of life, and dignified endurance in the face of treasonous aggressions perpetrated by a hostile press, has secured a litany of savage triumphs on behalf of freedom-loving souls from sea to shining sea — it becomes necessary for citizens of decent respect and supreme intellect to articulate an explanation of these events for the edification of our nation's children.
I'm talking, of course, about the midterm elections.
As I'm sure you've heard by now, the Democrat Party has taken control of the U.S. House of Representatives for the first time since 2010. Nancy Pelosi, who is old enough to have witnessed the birth of her political lodestar, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, aka Lenin, is probably going to be speaker again. The last time she held the gavel, she passed Obamacare and supported Hillary Clinton's attack on our embassy in Benghazi.
The fake news media drooling all over itself with glee. No surprise there. They're going to tell us the House defeat is a "repudiation" of President Donald Trump, but they won't even bother trying to investigate the validity of the election "results." They'll be too busy writing headlines about how Bob O'Rourke could "skateboard his way to the White House."

I just tell ‘em: “Evil exists.”
LOL!
I told my 9 year old that it wasn’t that big a deal and while I’m disappointed, it’s not productive to get angry and dwell on things that I have no power to change. You know, like a grown up.

Can’t improve on the classics.
It was “Red Shifted”.
David and goliath.
Well, Son, you know the people who are under the Democrat Party? They’re just like what you see under the dog’s tail. They both produce the same thing.
“Beto” would have to change his nick to something more palatable to nationwide liberals, including black women with Oprah support, while also continuing to cater to his “fellow” Hispanics...
something like...
“Betosha”
Has a nice ring to it: Betosha O’Rourke.

Why even discuss politics with a 9 year old?
.
Tell them demonrats hide in their closets and under their beds and eat little kids who don’t mind their parents.
Yes...your thought was my thought...let children be children....sheesh.
Read to them Karl Marx book explains it all.
This was never going to be easy. No political revolution ever progresses in a straight line. The American system – the Constitution itself – strongly agitates against rapid, radical political change of any kind.
In the first two years of the Barack Obama Administration, Americans saw rapid, radical political change and rebelled against it, turning the House over to Republicans in 2010 and then the Senate in 2014. Americans again saw rapid over the past two years, as President Donald Trump reversed about 90% of the Obama era from the history books, and reacted last night by turning the House back to the Democrats.
This is not only nothing out of the ordinary, it is exactly how the nation’s founders consciously wanted the system to work. No one on either side has to like it, but it is important to recognize this reality of the American system and work to affect change within its confines.(emphasis added)
I'd rather have this system of checks and balances that gave us this midterm result BUT also Trump AND also the 2012 midterm result, versus a removal of these checks and Madame President Clinton.
Kids are resilient. They will survive.
I don’t remember my parents ever telling me what happened in Congress.
