We won the House twice. In 2010 and 2012.
How stupid is he to throw out such a meaningless line like that? He needs a better script writer.
They didn't win the house vote in 2012
So the Democrats took control of the House in 2012? Really...

BTW if anyone would like to have a Constitutional Amendment for non gerrymandered districts, I would happily join with you in support no matter what party you belong to. I think it's ridiculous.
seems like the only meaningful elections are those the republicans win.
We did win elections. That's why we have control of the House of Representatives. Because we won more federal elections than Democrats did.
If we had a proportional representative system what you posted would matter, however we vote to the house via districts, and the any votes over the 1st vote past winning are thus wasted inside the distrcit.
The proportional shift you describe is most likey due to high overvotes in urban safe democratic districts, that often see no real challenger, with a 80-90%-10% vote tally.
Obama to GOP: 'Win an election' to change policies
that could be because Clinton was a much better leader and knew how to deal with those who did not agree with him......just sayin....seems like the only meaningful elections are those the republicans win.
Both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton lost the House in the first mid-term of their Administrations. Clinton responded by moving to the center and working with the GOP. The result was a balanced budget and a thriving economy. Obama responded by not moving to the center at all and not working with the GOP House. The result has been political gridlock and a stagnant economy.
That isn't partisan hyperbole...that's a simple statement of fact. The reason that this country is mired in the mess we're in...is that the Democrats chose to ignore the mid-term elections of 2010 and do business like they still had super majorities in the House and Senate. I'm sorry, L.K. but Clinton played it correctly...and Obama did not.

High overvotes?
What does that even mean?

you left out the part where Dems got more votes. The GOP'ers held on because of redistricting
Republicans Win Congress as Democrats Get Most Votes - Bloomberg
A majority of Americans disapprove of the Republicans in Congress, yet the odds remain in the partys favor that it will retain control of the House. One big reason the Republicans have this edge: their district boundaries are drawn so carefully that the only votes that often matter come from fellow Republicans.

But did you win the Senate and POTUS? No you didn't so you don't get to hold the gov't hostage if you don't get your way.

Which is funny because there were more aggregated Democratic votes for Democrats then Republican votes for Republicans.
Be that as it may, your folks control little over 1/2 of one house of Congress, and use that control to squash dissent in the house..or any minority opposition.
Give that behavior, do you believe that the majority in the Senate and the President should act any differently? (And in the Senate, they do, the Minority still have the filibuster)
WOW! This guy is the President? Must be about the dumbest person on earth. Way to go libs. You elected this moron. He does realize how these people got into office right? Scary how low of a standard we have set to be President of this country.
