55. I594 had a 7-to-1 spending advantage & only passed 60-40

I594 proved the "90% approve background checks" was bunk.
Meanwhile Gabby's district went GOP, Tom Harkin's (last New Deal Dem in the Senate) groomed & hand-picked successor got beat by an unknown tea partier, Iowa's white working class voted GOP for the 1st time, 2 Dem Senators were recalled (1st recalls in Colorado history), 33% of Dems in Colorado supported the recall of Dems,1 Colorado Senator resigned, the governor of Colorado--who had the most secure seat in the nation until this nonsense won an expensive race by 1 point (his seat will never be secure again), the GOP won seats in the House, took the Senate & is now in the majority of the most state legislatures since the Great Depression.

That's not neutral.
That's an ass whipping.

An issue that makes 33% of a Democrats support the recall of Democrats isn't neutral.
Gun control, unquestionably, played a part of 2014....and 2014, like 1994 was an unmitigated disaster.

Winners have results. Losers have excuses.
And the results were in on Nov 4th.
