"To each his own. I'd like to point out that if someone was flipping a coin and it went 50-50 more or less for a long time, and then they got six tails in a row, I'd wonder whether the coin had been replaced."

Fair point if we’re talking about losing a chamber. By that measure the old record is closer to even and six straight is unusual. But the coin didn’t get swapped. The president’s party has lost House seats in 38 of 41 midterms since the Civil War. What changed after 1994 is that majorities got much thinner, so the usual midterm losses are far more likely to cost control.
