The NYT needle is projecting this as a D+9 wave. What the hell is going on?

The systematic bias and rigged nature of the US electoral system is what is going on. The Senate is a fundamentally undemocratic system and must be fundamentally reformed, and/or new states added, etc. This was clear to me before, hopefully it will now also be clear to other Dems as well.

Plus in the House, gerrymandering and such.

My guess is Manchin switches, especially if R's win either or both AZ and NV.   

Why wouldn’t he have jus ran as an R?

Yea Dems have flopped even if they take the house. Forget Blue Wave, Dems never expected to lose FL, or lose  IN, ND or MO by 10-15%. All these were supposed to be single digit losses at worse & perhaps a win or 2.

Florida is deeply disappointing. FL will now have a GOP Racist Extremist Gov. with 2 GOP Senators. Dems will be losing atleast 30-40 seats with a margin of 5-7% & under & they could have won most of these seats under the right conditions.

This is not a wave. Despite freakin' Trump, Dems will narrow sneak a House Victory while losing key Senate seats.

Tonight basically comes down to #Polarization.

Rural Areas vs. Urban & Suburban Areas.

Democrats flipping the House is the key.  Taking the Senate would have been fantastic but was always a very unlikely shot.  Now we'll finally get to see some real oversight of the Trump administration.  Say hello to Intel Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, for one.



It's good, but even if Dems couldn't flip the Senate, we're going to be in a deeper hole for 2020. Not great. But may have been unavoidable given the Senate's bias to rural states and could have been even worse.

Meh, they purged the moderates from the Senate.  Time to move on from them

Could Democrats win 45-50+ seats, while losing the Senate by 2-3 Seats?

What the hell...

Sessions loses in Texas. Dems didn't even field a guy in 2016.

Unfortunately it doesn't look great for Slotkin at this point, despite her strong second NYT poll.

How come nobody is talking about the Arizona?

Do people here know that there's actually a senate race there?

It's been called for Cramer. Republicans hold the Senate.

Scott is now up 1.8 in FL.    DeSantis up by 1. 

There might not even be a recount.

The NYT House map of Iowa is the exact inverse of the incumbents' parties.

Checked in on Bill Mitchell's feed and he's whining about Fox calling the House so early.  BTW, this is his pinned tweet:

Salt Lake City. R gerrymander splits it into multiple districts.
