ELECTION NIGHT, Part XI


Cooper: ...Folks, this is huge. Not as huge a projection as the Presidency, but this will be very important for Democrats. With most prescints in, we can finally call the state of Texas- and we're projecting it to President Barack Obama. This means that Texas will vote for the Democratic nominee for the first time since 1976.

King: Yes. It's indicative of a larger trend, with Democrats increasingly doing better in this state, but also of Trump's weakness as a candidate and Huntsman's strong third party bid. We've also seen South Carolina and Indiana flipping tonight, something they wouldn't do under normal circumstances. And Missouri and Mississippi both might flip, too.

Blitzer: Speaking of which, as almost nothing remains to be counted in these two states, we can now make two consecutive projections- Donald Trump will narrowly hold onto Mississippi, while President Obama will win Missouri, by a very narrow margin. Republican states voting for the President one after the other.

United States 2016 Presidential Election Map


Alaska Presidential Election (32% Reporting)- TOO EARLY TO CALL
Jon Huntsman (I)- 40.8%
Barack Obama (D)*- 30.5%
Donald Trump (R)- 26.2%

Idaho Presidential Election (70% Reporting)- TOO CLOSE TO CALL
Jon Huntsman (I)- 39.4%
Donald Trump (R)- 38.1%
Barack Obama (D)*- 21.0%

Iowa Presidential Election (70% Reporting)- TOO CLOSE TO CALL
Barack Obama (D)*- 44.8%
Donald Trump (R)- 41.0%
Jon Huntsman (I)- 13.3%

Kansas Presidential Election (99% Reporting)- TOO CLOSE TO CALL
Barack Obama (D)*- 32.9%
Jon Huntsman (I)- 32.8%
Donald Trump (R)- 32.7%

Missisippi Presidential Election (99% Reporting)- REPUBLICAN WIN
Donald Trump (R)- 44.6% ✓
Barack Obama (D)*- 44.2%
Jon Huntsman (I)- 10.5%

Missouri Presidential Election (98% Reporting)- DEMOCRATIC WIN
Barack Obama (D)*- 41.5% ✓
Donald Trump (R)- 40.5%
Jon Huntsman (I)- 17.1%

Montana Presidential Election (71% Reporting)- TOO CLOSE TO CALL
Jon Huntsman (I)- 35.3%
Donald Trump (R)- 31.9%
Barack Obama (D)*- 31.1%

Nebraska Presidential Election (72% Reporting)- TOO CLOSE TO CALL
Jon Huntsman (I)- 37.9%
Donald Trump (R)- 37.1%
Barack Obama (D)*- 23.7%

Texas Presidential Election (99% Reporting)- DEMOCRATIC WIN
Barack Obama (D)*- 42.6% ✓
Donald Trump (R)- 41.2%
Jon Huntsman (I)- 15.4%

..........

Blitzer: ...So indeed, we can right now project Iowa for President Obama. Iowa will go to the President, a relief for Democrats who would definitely not want to lose a swing state in such a good night. Still, the relative closeness here is indicative that Trump has performed well with this white working class demographic, just that it was overshadowed elsewhere. Perhaps  if Mr. Trump ran a competent, scandal-free campaign, and if someone else, like scandal-plagued Hillary Clinton, was the Democratic nominee, we'd be having a very different night.

King: We can additionally project Alaska, which will comfortably go to Jon Huntsman tonight. You can attribute it to a combination of various factors- the state's fondness of independent candidates, the sheer amount of time Huntsman spent around the state with surrogates like Governor Bill Walker and Senator Lisa Murkowski, and the depressed pro-Trump turnout in this state as results from the rest of the nation got increasingly bleak for him.

Cooper: And another projection, this one will probably make Mr. Trump's supporters even less happy- we're calling Montana for independent candidate Jon Huntsman. Yet another traditionally Republican state voting for another candidate tonight, and this time Huntsman wins 3 more electoral votes, bolstering his status as a very successful third party candidate.

Donald Trump (R)- 36.9%
Barack Obama (D)*- 23.8%

..........

Blitzer: And now, folks, it's very late into night, over 4 A.M., but we can call two of the last states- Idaho and Nebraska will both go to Jon Huntsman tonight. This is an impressive string of western victories for him, and goes to show just how strong his candidacy was.

Bash: For sure. With his popularity in his home state, I can definitely see a future for Huntsman- perhaps a Senate seat in 2018, when Senator Orrin Hatch might retire. Now, what's happening in Kansas? It's a very conservative state, but after Governor Sam Brownback's hardline conservative policies backfired, it seemed to be moving in a more moderate direction. Will it vote against Republicans tonight?

King: Most likely, yes. It's interesting because there are very few ballots left there, a thousand votes at best. The two major candidates exchanged leads throughout the night, and we almost called this state for Obama recently, as he had a narrow but comfortable lead, but then we've seen a surge for Huntsman, and now, for the first time tonight, he actually holds a lead- several hundreds of votes, close to a thousand, I'm told.

Cooper: Very interesting. Kansas has 6 electoral votes, more than any state Huntsman won tonight save for Utah. If he wins it, this will mean that...

Blitzer: Hold on, Anderson, because we have a projection to make, our last projection of the night. Jon Huntsman has narrowly won Kansas, by a little over a thousand votes.

Kansas Presidential Election (100% Reporting)- HUNTSMAN WIN
Jon Huntsman (I)- 32.98% ✓
Barack Obama (D)*- 32.90%
Donald Trump (R)- 32.87%

Nebraska Presidential Election (99% Reporting)- HUNTSMAN WIN
Jon Huntsman (I)- 38.1% ✓
Donald Trump (R)- 36.7%
Barack Obama (D)*- 24.0%

Cooper: And this is it for tonight, folks. For those of you still awake to hear the results from Kansas, you can go to sleep now, because our election night coverage is officially over. This fascinating election had an even more fascinating result- an overwhelming landslide victory for President Barack Obama and Senator Tammy Baldwin, making him the first President since FDR to win a third term in office, with 442 electoral votes, a big blow for Mr. Donald Trump and Governor Chris Christie with only 71 electoral votes, and a very impressive result for independent candidate Jon Huntsman and running mate James Stavridis, with 25 electoral votes. Thank you very much for tuning into CNN's election night coverage- I was Anderson Cooper, and these were Wolf Blitzer, Jake Tapper, Dana Bash and John King. Good night.

Sorry, this is not my area of expertise Tongue You can ask about specific races and I'll decide whether they're included in the flipped ones (though please don't ask about like 20 races, lol).

Huh, Dems might actuall have enough of a pad to hold the Senate in 2018 (WV+ND+MT+MO+IN+OH+FL is only a tie)

Remember that a special election is coming in Wisconsin, too Wink But yeah, Schumer and Obama must be very happy with the 2016 gains. A bit like the situation in 2010- though, I can't confirm that the midterms will be all that linear. There might be some races that surprise you, likely in both ways. What I have in mind is actually quite exciting imo, so I'm probably going to start the next part soon, without any freezing.

Thanks! Smiley And don't worry, while I won't deny that this was friendly to Democrats, it's not going to be hackish- they'll have some tough times ahead.

If anything, this would start a second Republican revolution where they leave conservativism for moderatism so people like Rubio and Cruz are immediately out, but there will still be a no-establishment feeling around, so no Bush or Kasich either. Also, I realistically forsee Governors rising in popularity but not Senators (unless they are great at their job) but I do expect a full Republican Victory to control Congress in 2018 once more as we see more populist moderates take control of the GOP.

For the Democrats, I predict a split happening in OTL rn, where the party is divided amongst Sander-itez and Obamites, leading to either Obama ending his 12 years in disgrace or with the Democrats purging the Sanderites. Either way, a piece of the Democratic base can be absorbable by the Republicans by 2018.

For Huntsman, we could see a Neo-Reform Party form around him but unless the GOP nominate another Trump, it's going to like a relationship gone bad: Exciting and Passionate in the beginning, but completely dead by the end.

YMMV, but I predict that at the very least that we see a very Progressive Democratic party and very Moderate GOP for the foreseeable future.

I predict 2018 to be a disaster than for the Democrats


GOP gains 40 seats in the House


and 10 seats in the Senate(MT,MO,ND, IN, OH, FL, WI, WV, VA , and MN Special)

I doubt there would be the incentive among Republicans to shoot for a false misconduct allegation without the possibility of derailing an Alabama Senate race.
