Democrats aren't getting anything meaningful done anytime soon until a crash happens.

Neither are Republicans.

Welcome to America.

CNN projects Republicans will be under 200.

Big! This is definitely a blue wave in the House, a Tossup in the Senate and a Blue trickle in the Governors races.

Kind of an embarrassing way to win the night. There are my two cents.

HOW.

Democrats are winning in KS and OK!

Isn't that a massive R wave? Or a typo?

Embarrassing. Lol.

Well, either way. I'm happy with tonight.

This feels alarmingly like 2010. Trump could get a 2nd term.

Democrats 40+ feels like 2010?

What?

It's almost like you have no conception of the local politics as either. Following the tenure of Mary Fallin, I'm stunned the Oklahoma Governor's race wasn't closer. I had expected both Kansas and Oklahoma to be the two closest races - now neither is close yet in opposite directions. My final "prediction" on this site has these as two of five gubernatorial toss-ups (with South Dakota, Ohio, and Iowa). Winning a single house district is just about the least special thing in the world. It's like a Republican shouting, "we're winning in New York" - except they have better reason to shout that about their own governorships in New Hampshire and Massachusetts and Maryland and maybe even Connecticut.

I literally cannot believe you are more than an overeager high schooler with how much you are moving the measuring stick just to remain excited about unequivocally negative result.

Not at all, my overexcitement as a Democrat has been extremely tempered tonight.

I simply see a clear realignment in the age of Trump, - and I think it favors Democrats.

Narrowly, but enough to be solid. And in the age of polarization that's all that matters.

Red D's on here are the worst. We might win 35-45 seats and some of you are still upset?

LOL, I couldn't care less if Dems "underperform expectations" or not. They won the House. Therefore they won. Enjoy the "optics" circlejerk conservatives, I'll be enjoying killing the Trump/Republican agenda for at least 2 years.

A Democrat hasn't held Ok-5th since the 70's ( !! ) -- I'm prepared to say this is a Blue Tsunami in the house.

Which makes the Senate and some of these Governor's races all the stranger.

TX-31 20% Reporting
John Carter 50.1%
MJ. Hegar 48.4%

Oh, wow! This is close! I'd almost take this as a consolation prize for McGraths loss.

I think Connecticut would be a bigger upset than Kansas, by a small amount.

Wow. Honestly, as a Democrat, we all have A LOT to be happy about.

Our strength in the house continues to grow with multiple surprise victories. Kendra Horn in Ok ( !! ), Lucy McBath in GA ( !! ), and more.

We've won 7 governors seats and, let's be honest, the RINO Governors in many blue states aren't really a danger to a Democratic agenda.

It increasingly seems like we'll keep Republicans to a single seat gain in the Senate, - or maybe even keep it to the status quo. That's a HUGE victory. Nevada was won easily. Arizona looks like a likely gain. And Florida is increasingly looking like a surprise HOLD while even the Governors race could, in a recount, flip!

This will make retaking the Senate in 2020, imo, LIKELY.

And if we take the Presidency in 2020, bam, you have Democratic control of all 3 branches of government.

This was entirely a blue wave, maybe not everywhere -- but in enough places to matter.

American ballots are, frankly, horrible. I understand, many races are run at the same time and having a separate ballot for each race may be somewhat impractical, but these are monstrosities. I mean, have you seen a Mexican ballot?



It is nice looking. Can you not cross party vote in Mexico though?

How can you argue that this should be counted?

Given the vote that allowed GOP to retain the VA CoD...

If that was counted, this should be too.




Hypocrites.
