"The GOP is poised for the biggest take over in Congress in history."
I do love it when you are so unbelievably stupid.
Ok, the largest swing in the Senate EVER was in 1958, when the Democrats picked-up 29 seats, in the middle of extremely popular Ike Eisenhower's 2nd term. This made for a +29.59% shift in a Senate of 98 seats.
The second largest swing in the Senate EVER was in 1946, where the GOP picked up 27 seats and took the Senate for the first time since 1928. Shift: +28.13%
The third/fourth largest swings in the Senate ever were in 1928 and 1930, where the Republicans gained 26 seats in the Senate and lost 26 seats in 1930, going from R+1 in the Senate after the 1926 elections back to R+1 after the 1930 elections. The shift in both cases was +27.01%.
The GOP is likely to pick up 6 or 7 seats in 2014, which will be a shift of +6 to +7%.
In the US HOR, the largest swing was in 1874, where the Democrats picked up 155 seats in the US HOR, a shift of +67.92% in a HOR of 333 seats.
The second largest swing in the HOR was in 1891, where the Democrats picked up 160 seats, a shift of +48.05%.
The third largest swing, officially, was in 1864, where the GOP picked up 76 seats, a shift of +39.79%. However, about half of the congress was missing due to secession and Civil War. So, this statistic is hard to really compare with any other cycles.
The next largest swing was in 1895, where the GOP picked up 136 seats, a shift of +38.10%.
The GOP shifts in 1994 and 2010 were "just" +24.83% and +29.90%, respectively.

There is no sign at all that the GOP will come even close to any of these statistics.
The GOP may, just maybe pick up 11 seats in the HOR, a +2.52% shift.
Furthermore, 2 weeks before the mid-terms in 2010, generic polling was showing GOP at at least
+5 and as high as
+14.

Huge difference to 2010.
So, back to your quote:
"The GOP is poised for the biggest take over in Congress in history."
NO, you stupid ****. Not even close. And also, this has nothing to do with the Latino vote or Ann Coulter, which was the OP, you stupid ****.
