Never mind Martha McSally or House Republicans finally clinching their biggest majority in eighty-six years - the GOP won an election recount? Seriously?:
Republicans clinched their 247th U.S. House seat on Wednesday when GOP challenger Martha McSally officially unseated Representative Ron Barber (D-AZ2), bringing to an end the final unresolved congressional election of the midterms and handing the GOP its largest majority in the chamber since the Great Depression.
McSally’s narrow win, which came after a recount, means that House Republicans will begin the 114th Congress with a 247-188 advantage over Democrats. It is the largest GOP majority since Republicans claimed 270 seats in the 1928 election.
“We’re grateful to everyone who devoted their time and resources, especially during the extended vote and recount processes, to get us over the finish line,” McSally, a retired Air Force colonel who lost a close race to Barber in 2012, said in a statement.
No, really, we won an election recount? That's the first one since Bush v. Gore.
Maybe the Democrats really are slipping.
