No idea what that has to do with anything. I can't figure out what "40 years of Republican leadership" means in this context?

Democrats controlled the House last in 2010 and the Senate in 1993.

Senate was tied in 93, because some dude "switched parties"

And Democrats held the House and Governorship. Seems like a pretty strong position for Democrats.

your realize how silly that argument is right? the ONLY reason the Senate was Democrat is because a R wanted to make a statement and switched his party affiliation resulting in tie... he wasn't a democrat and didn't vote like one.

​

The last time Democrats held an actual majority was 1979, and they only held it during the 70's,

​

Democrats have only actually controlled the senate for 10 years in the states history

Not as silly as claiming the Republicans have controlled the PA government for 40 years.
I really don’t give that much of a shit.
