When President Bill Clinton saw his Democratic Party go up in flames in the 1994 midterm elections, losing the House of Representatives after a four-decade reign, he acknowledged defeat and pledged to do better. When President George W. Bush lost both chambers to the Democrats in 2006 on the back of an unpopular war in Iraq, he admitted the “thumpin’” and committed to bipartisanship for the remainder of his term. And when the GOP wave in 2010 drowned 63 House Democratic candidates, a humbled President Barack Obama talked about the election as a learning experience.

President Trump isn’t Clinton, Bush, or Obama.
