Message to Democrats: Consider it a victory we were able to get beyond midterm elections.

If we can recall, it was a very weird time just before Trump came into office. He acted as if he was already the President. General Flynn was talking to the Russians and lying about it. It was unbelievable! Sally Yates made a special trip to the White House to warn them of the situation. They ignored her. Then they fired her.

For anyone looking at the situation seriously, it looked like Donald Trump was colluding with the Russians but we did not know what for? More and more evidence popped up to confirm the suspicions as time passed. He was passing top secret information to the Russians in the White House, without any American media around. Only Russian media. Then he had his traitorous meeting with Putin in Helsinki, in secret, and proceeded to take the dictator's word over the word of our own Intelligence!

And on and on, the evidence stacked up.

It was a desperate time for Democrats, and all of America, actually. Democrats were hoping to take back the House in the midterms so there would at least be a cop on the beat. It was vitally important that someone have oversight of the renegade and, seemingly, traitorous White House.

The gods were smiling. The Democrats won the House by a landslide. Voters wanted someone to watch over the madman and possible Russian asset.

We won that very important victory and we are here today because of that.

Americans should be very thankful that someone is minding the store.
