      1. This Bret Stephens column has been dunked on by experts like @NateSilver538 but there's a little more to be said. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/08/opinion/midterm-results-2020-democrats.html …

      2. "The 28-seat swing that gave Democrats control of the House wasn’t even half the 63 seats Republicans won in 2010." Stephens spoke too soon and now we're in the neighbourhood of 35-40 seats. But there's more. https://www.axios.com/democrats-2018-midterm-elections-house-congress-20ad294d-c608-4f70-af89-97d683757ed0.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=twsocialshare&utm_campaign=organic …

      3. It's not just Dems won maybe 40 seats, 7 governorships & hundreds of down ballot races but also that in the places where they narrowly fell short there was gerrymandering and voter suppression (ahem, Georgia)

          4. If there was no gerrymandering & voter suppression, Dems would've picked up at a minimum another 6-10 seats. But does Stephens factor that in? No. But it gets worse.

          5. Here's the kicker: although he works now for the Times, Stephens made his name at the Wall Street Journal, which is the most influential publication around supporters voter suppression as a tactic.

          6. For years and years, Stephens worked alongside people like John Fund, leading advocates of cracking down on voting as a way of shoring up GOP power. Instead of bemoaning size of Dem wave, Stephens should reflect on his complicity in creating this mess.

          In GA, FL gov races we put up the best candidates imaginable against avg/subpar opponents- outspent them by a mile and still lost. If what has transpired in the past two years hasn’t turned someone off from voting R, I’m not sure what changes in the next two years. Real Concern

          Flipping 7 governorships & ending many state trifectas will go a long way towards redistricting in 2021. GOP has been playing the long game on state level since Obama won. Dems were asleep at the wheel but no more. #ProtectOurVotes #EndGerrymandering #BlueWave #FlippedTheHouse
