So assuming Sinema holds on, the Senate will end up R+1 or R+2 depending on Florida (which I refuse to make any predictions on at this point). I expect that most Democrats would have taken that along with D+~35 in the House if it was offered to them a week ago!
I’m getting a what could have been feeling. Florida is going to sting for a while.
And the realization that literally nothing Trump does is going to change the mind of the rural cult following is depressing and honestly makes me think he can win in 2020 and that’s sobering enough to overshadow the good things from this midterm
lol, your act is getting old.
It’s not an “act”. I’m thrilled at the house results but it’s worth considering that for the past two years I’ve told myself that a lot of people supported trump to try something new but after seeing the way he really is, his support would significantly decrease - to see that his supporters are more emboldened is scary to me. I would’ve bet the house on him being a one term President, now I’m not sure.
In a normal political environment where voters held the President responsible - Missouri, Indiana and Florida would have been Democratic wins. It’s sobering to see that not be the case.
I’d gladly take 53-47 for a Senate result, Florida will sting though because that one extra seat probably puts the Senate out of reach for 2020.
Dude, it is an act (a tiresome act as well).
Tuesday, you considered the election a disaster for Democrats. Now that things are looking pretty good for them, you are now trying to save face by shifting the narrative to 2020.
Hell, your pessimism doesn't even make sense. Republicans won in states that Trump carried in 2016, but lost ground in the states that put him over (WI, PA, and MI). If anything, the election showed that there is a path to 270 in 2020 if Democrats play they cards right.
