I suggest reading lessons. 
TWDuke stated back in post #43 "10 Senators, which would be fewer than 1 out of 10 Democratic Senators at the time, "
Captain Carrot responded “how is 10 Senators of any party less than 1/10th of the Senate?” This, of course, presupposes that the Senate was entirely filled with Democrats.
To this, TWDuke replied “Math is hard.” Since there was no sense of apology in his statement, I took this to mean that TWDuke was saying to Captain Carrot that Captain Carrot had failed to properly calculate “1 out of 10”.
My response establishes that 10 Senators would not be fewer than 1 out of 10 of the whole Senate, let alone that part of it which was Democrat at the time. In short, TWDuke’s math is suspect, as Captain Carrot pointed out.
