If after Trump won in 2016, you were shown the 2020/21 results, how would you react?

Did one of these before but decided to do another one since pretty much every race has been called now and we know Senate control.

You only know as much as the images tell you. You don't know any specific canidates or any specific margins in specific races.

I think it's interesting because Democrats underperformed polls across the board on election night, but 4 years, most would've seen flipping a trifecta on it's head over the course of 4 years quite an impressive feat. It makes this election a very mentally mixed one for people on both sides I think.

I initially expected Trump to lose reelection, so I wouldn't be too surprised.

Only difficulty would be figuring out the 50th senate seat for Rs. Could be FL, OH, MT, AZ, or possibly WV / NV. 2018 obviously would’ve been a big D wave in the house with a solid D performance in the senate, and 2020 would’ve signaled an embattled incumbent who was unpopular but still had a broad base of support. I think a lot of this was pretty easy to forecast initially, if I’m being honest.

The strange thing about it, that D's were nervous about Bernie losing FL and Biden lost FL anyways

The Democrats somehow having a seat in Alabama before the election would probably be the biggest shocker to me.

In terms of the Presidential race, Georgia flipping before Florida would be mildly shocking.

The Democrats somehow having a seat in Alabama before the election would probably be the biggest shocker to me.

I mean, "shocker" in the sense of "how the f**k did a Democrat manage to actually win in Alabama?," sure, but given that a Cabinet spot for Sessions was guaranteed after Trump's victory, it wouldn't be at all difficult to infer that the Democrats must've won it in the resultant special election.

That's what I meant. It would be shocking to me at the time that Democrats managed to win it in a special election.
