two major factors as to why that turned

62
00:01:14,750 –> 00:01:14,760
two major factors as to why that turned

63
00:01:14,760 –> 00:01:16,960
two major factors as to why that turned
out that way and it’s one is just

64
00:01:16,960 –> 00:01:16,970
out that way and it’s one is just

65
00:01:16,970 –> 00:01:20,060
out that way and it’s one is just
traditionally the off year elections and

66
00:01:20,060 –> 00:01:20,070
traditionally the off year elections and

67
00:01:20,070 –> 00:01:20,870
traditionally the off year elections and
by off year

68
00:01:20,870 –> 00:01:20,880
by off year

69
00:01:20,880 –> 00:01:23,990
by off year
I mean non-presidential so during off

70
00:01:23,990 –> 00:01:24,000
I mean non-presidential so during off

71
00:01:24,000 –> 00:01:26,240
I mean non-presidential so during off
year elections in the after the first

72
00:01:26,240 –> 00:01:26,250
year elections in the after the first

73
00:01:26,250 –> 00:01:28,160
year elections in the after the first
two years of a president they pretty

74
00:01:28,160 –> 00:01:28,170
two years of a president they pretty

75
00:01:28,170 –> 00:01:30,080
two years of a president they pretty
much always his governing party always

76
00:01:30,080 –> 00:01:30,090
much always his governing party always

77
00:01:30,090 –> 00:01:32,420

loses seats so it’s just sort of one of

78
00:01:32,420 –> 00:01:32,430
loses seats so it’s just sort of one of

79
00:01:32,430 –> 00:01:35,450
loses seats so it’s just sort of one of
the you know ways that it just tends to

80
00:01:35,450 –> 00:01:35,460
the you know ways that it just tends to

81
00:01:35,460 –> 00:01:38,830
the you know ways that it just tends to
work so it happened in this case

82
00:01:38,830 –> 00:01:38,840
work so it happened in this case

83
00:01:38,840 –> 00:01:41,960
work so it happened in this case
the other aspect of it was you had 45

84
00:01:41,960 –> 00:01:41,970
the other aspect of it was you had 45

85
00:01:41,970 –> 00:01:47,080
the other aspect of it was you had 45
incumbent Republicans retire so the the

86
00:01:47,080 –> 00:01:47,090

00:01:54,180 –> 00:01:56,690
swing to the majority and they got well
well over that in the higher 20s is was

92
00:01:56,690 –> 00:01:56,700
well over that in the higher 20s is was

93
00:01:56,700 –> 00:01:58,580
well over that in the higher 20s is was
a I think they’re still kind of figuring

94
00:01:58,580 –> 00:01:58,590
a I think they’re still kind of figuring

95
00:01:58,590 –> 00:02:00,109
a I think they’re still kind of figuring
out how the final score is with some

96
00:02:00,109 –> 00:02:00,119
out how the final score is with some

97
00:02:00,119 –> 00:02:02,179
out how the final score is with some
close races but it’s gonna be in the

98
00:02:02,179 –> 00:02:02,189
close races but it’s gonna be in the

99
00:02:02,189 –> 00:02:03,950
close races but it’s gonna be in the
high 20s it’s what they totally they’ve

100
00:02:03,950 –> 00:02:03,960
high 20s it’s what they totally they’ve

101
00:02:03,960 –> 00:02:05,959
high 20s it’s what they totally they’ve
got so they they took the majority but

102
00:02:05,959 –> 00:02:05,969
got so they they took the majority but

103
00:02:05,969 –> 00:02:10,010
got so they they took the majority but
not by very much and those 45 seats that

104
00:02:10,010 –> 00:02:10,020
not by very much and those 45 seats that

105
00:02:10,020 –> 00:02:12,110
not by very much and those 45 seats that
were left vacant by the Republican

106
00:02:12,110 –> 00:02:12,120
were left vacant by the Republican

107
00:02:12,120 –> 00:02:13,380
were left vacant by the Republican

108
00:02:13,380 –> 00:02:13,390
income

109
00:02:13,390 –> 00:02:15,180
income
was a real blow because there’s just so

110
00:02:15,180 –> 00:02:15,190
was a real blow because there’s just so

111
00:02:15,190 –> 00:02:17,460
was a real blow because there’s just so
many of them that that that decided to

112
00:02:17,460 –> 00:02:17,470
many of them that that that decided to

113
00:02:17,470 –> 00:02:19,320
many of them that that that decided to
retire all at the same time

114
00:02:19,320 –> 00:02:19,330
retire all at the same time

115
00:02:19,330 –> 00:02:21,480

now the reelection rate for an incumbent

116
00:02:21,480 –> 00:02:21,490
now the reelection rate for an incumbent

117
00:02:21,490 –> 00:02:24,449
now the reelection rate for an incumbent
in the house is about 93 percent so if

118
00:02:24,449 –> 00:02:24,459
in the house is about 93 percent so if

119
00:02:24,459 –> 00:02:27,480
in the house is about 93 percent so if
those 45 had stayed over 40 of them

120
00:02:27,480 –> 00:02:27,490
those 45 had stayed over 40 of them

121
00:02:27,490 –> 00:02:28,440
those 45 had stayed over 40 of them
would have would have kept their

122
00:02:28,440 –> 00:02:28,450
would have would have kept their

123
00:02:28,450 –> 00:02:30,420
would have would have kept their
position very likely and not lost the

124
00:02:30,420 –> 00:02:30,430
position very likely and not lost the

125
00:02:30,430 –> 00:02:33,120
position very likely and not lost the
election certainly the majority of them

126
00:02:33,120 –> 00:02:33,130
election certainly the majority of them

127
00:02:33,130 –> 00:02:34,199
election certainly the majority of them
would have and that would have been

128
00:02:34,199 –> 00:02:34,209
would have and that would have been

129
00:02:34,209 –> 00:02:36,390
would have and that would have been
enough to keep it a Republican majority

130
00:02:36,390 –> 00:02:36,400
enough to keep it a Republican majority

131
00:02:36,400 –> 00:02:39,810
enough to keep it a Republican majority
so that was a huge factor in it so it

132
00:02:39,810 –> 00:02:39,820
so that was a huge factor in it so it

133
00:02:39,820 –> 00:02:41,430
so that was a huge factor in it so it
wasn’t an in the press here in the

134
00:02:41,430 –> 00:02:41,440
wasn’t an in the press here in the

135
00:02:41,440 –> 00:02:42,990
wasn’t an in the press here in the
United States they kept talking about

136
00:02:42,990 –> 00:02:43,000
United States they kept talking about

137
00:02:43,000 –> 00:02:45,990
United States they kept talking about
blue wave and the color blue is used to

138
00:02:45,990 –> 00:02:46,000
blue wave and the color blue is used to

139
00:02:46,000 –> 00:02:48,210
blue wave and the color blue is used to
represent the Democrats and the color

140
00:02:48,210 –> 00:02:48,220
represent the Democrats and the color

141
00:02:48,220 –> 00:02:52,610
represent the Democrats and the color

142
00:02:52,610 –> 00:02:52,620
red to represent the Republicans and so

143
00:02:52,620 –> 00:02:54,960
red to represent the Republicans and so
that was kind of really the basis for

144
00:02:54,960 –> 00:02:54,970
that was kind of really the basis for

145
00:02:54,970 –> 00:02:58,110
that was kind of really the basis for
the change there was no great you know

146
00:02:58,110 –> 00:02:58,120
the change there was no great you know

147
00:02:58,120 –> 00:02:59,810
the change there was no great you know

00:03:03,150 –> 00:03:03,160
basically split those 45 seats and that

151
00:03:03,160 –> 00:03:05,310
basically split those 45 seats and that
was that was the majority of the the

152
00:03:05,310 –> 00:03:05,320
was that was the majority of the the

153
00:03:05,320 –> 00:03:08,250
was that was the majority of the the
impact of why that the lower house the

154
00:03:08,250 –> 00:03:08,260

00:03:10,360 –> 00:03:13,290
did
far more important now basically that

160
00:03:13,290 –> 00:03:13,300
