in indiana, david dennis, who also opposed impeachment lost to philip sharp. >> in indiana, david dennis lost. david dennis' seat in indiana was one of 48 seats republicans lost the year that nixon resigned from office. including a bunch of other republicans who, like david dennis, had spent their time in congress wholeheartedly defending nixon right up until the very end. so a really, really big loss for the republican party that year, 1974. biggest midterm loss for republicans in modern political time. since 1974, republicans haven't fallen anywhere near that level of defeat, until now. this year they lost 40 seats in the house to the democrats. it was the biggest midterm loss republicans have seen since that extraordinary election in 1974 that happened after nixon had to step down. the republican president had just resigned in disgrace. this was their worst performance since then. and it was the democrats' record setting gain that was true in 1974, and it's true right now too. one of the things that democrats have been swimming upscream against since 2010 is that it's actually very di

congressman david dennis is a republican from indiana.prosecutor for wayne county, indiana. as member of congress, david dennis sat on the house judiciary committee, which at the time probably seemed like a great gig, right? former prosecutor sitting on one of the more prestigious committees in congress. it was probably an awesome gig, until it meant having to decide whether the republican president of the united states should be impeached. republican congressman david dennis was on that committee, and the matter came up, and he took up the challenge. and he took it up with
