Think about it.... Governorship of Florida - W - Gillum defeated (UPSET) Governorship of Georgia - W - Abrams defeated Governorship of Ohio - W - Cordray defeated (UPSET) Florida Senate - W - Nelson defeated (UPSET) Missouri Senate - W - McKaskill defeated Indiana Senate - W - Donelly defeated (UPSET) North Dakota Senate - W - Heitkamp defeated Arizona Senate - W - Sinema defeated The Republicans would've felt great picking up two senate seats but it looks like they are going to be picking up THREE. The Senate looks like it will be in republican hands for the foreseeable future, especially with Doug Jones going down in 2020, which will help protect against future republican losses. All this Kavanaugh confirmation delay now only seems even more silly in hindsight. The Dems need to reset and come up with a new identity if they want to prevent 4 more years of Trump, which is almost guaranteed anyway.
Trump is here for eight. We have enough rednecks and college flunkers in the US to ensure that.
It is a fact that uneducated areas vote red
Agree with OP. Pelosi can be happy to take the house but the wins which would have given an emotional boost to dems are actually republican wins... Add to the list above Beto’s loss in Texas against Lying Ted.
Pelosy win gives Trump a target to win in 2020. People will come to hate Pelosy so much they’ll happily vote red.
Agree but even without pelosi who is there who could get the work done and give trump a good fight ?
We will have Trump win 2020. Dems have no one. They had to rely on Obama for this campaign, lol. Pelosi, Maxine Walters, these fossils in the house? Good grief. In 2 years Dems will be at an all time low.
Exactly. Pelosy and Waters just guarantee that Trump will win 2020.
Obama wasn't even relevant. Everyone he campaigned for lost. Meanwhile 9 out of 11 people Trump campaigned for won. And it was almost 10 if you count the close Montana senate race
The polling had Gillum up 7 points. Talk about Dems fake polls.
I liked how on CNN last night they said, “well I guess some people when asked said they’d vote for Gilliam but didn’t”. Gee I don’t know why. Maybe when you spend 8 years declaring all criticism of the president is due to your racism and claim the entire campaign of this guy’s opponent is racist dog whistling you’ll get people who aren’t comfortable admitting they don’t want the socialist to win.
On the contrary, I think yesterday’s results should worry republicans. I was surprised to see how many votes Beto got in the red state of Texas. In Florida, ex cons are now eligible to vote. Florida and Texas will vote blue in 2020.
The Republicans did a great job losing their majority in the house and making no meaningful change in the senate - having 51-59 votes is essentially equivalent - while in a year where mostly vulnerable democrats were up for re-election. Single party rule is finally over.
That's a meaningful change due to the existence of RINO. Repeal of Obamacare would have passed if not for McCain. Judge K confirmation would have been easy.
54 means adios Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, we don’t give a f about your litmus test.
The trump train wasn’t stopped, but it definitely has some brakes on it now. And Dems are in control of most of the brakes on the train. Anyone on the right who is celebrating is just in denial.
Best peacetime midterm showing by the President’s party since the Carter administration.
Lol, you mean Trump’s going to be OK because of the best midterm since a one-term President?
The democrats need to get their hippie liberalism in check if they ever want to succeed again.
Make Democrats Sane Again!
Amen!
