Demagogue

In the current issue of The Hill, Jonathan Kaplan and Aaron Blake write:

For months, Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-N.Y.), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), has said Republicans would keep their majority in the House because they have the advantages of “members, money and message.”

House Republican incumbents have socked away more money than their Democratic challengers in 34 of 52 competitive districts ...

History shows that money has its limits.

In 1994, the last time an anti-incumbent wave swept the country, Democratic incumbents out-raised Republican challengers but Republicans picked up 52 House seats and won a majority in the Senate, too.
