No Republican wave in House elections; it already occurred, in 2010

Michael Barone reports:

I think a good Republican year in House elections would be a gain of more than 8 seats, a number that looks within reach but by no means inevitable. Between the 1958 and 1992 elections, Democrats never won fewer than 243 seats. Those low points came in the Nixon and Reagan landslide re-election years of 1972 and 1984. Between the 1948 and 2012 elections, Republicans never won more than the 242 seats they won in 2010. That’s looking like a historic barrier and crossing it would be an historic event. It might not seem like a big gain from the 234 seats Republicans won in 2012. But it’s a huge gain — one I think just about no one expected six years ago — from the 178 seats they won in 2008.

Yet, the liberal media claims the Republican party is the party of the past!
