Openly gay man was just elected governor of Colorado and Florida is about to elect a fucking race baiting Trump felcher Governor 

Is that really surprising?

Florida is awful in every way.

If Texas gets Beto and the Dems get House, tonight is a win for non-Trumpists.

Agree.  And I still want to burn everything down because how the fuck did we even get to this point?

As a Texan, this is the most realistically hopeful outcome. Fucking disappointed by FL but that would be somewhat offset by an Abrams win.

Instead of a "wave", I think we're seeing a transitional realignment of the national map begun in 2016.

Voted for Nelson. Fuck Paxton and Patrick

[Bama Chick 28596]

CNN is really overplaying that there was overwhelming expectations that Democrats would take the senate.

Holding serve/loss of a seat or two and taking the House was the projection.

There was some wishful hoping on a few senate seats but Tapper is acting like it’s the end of the world that the Democrats will “only” win the house.

Shit, there were serious predictions not long ago that Manchin and Menedez would lose.

Shitttttttt Governor MeeMaw won.

Fear, hatred of others, racism, hypocrisy, lack of accountability, and fake Christianity - the principles of the GOP.  And it works.  Disheartening indeed. 

Get used to it. And it will be dialed up. Because it works. And because that’s who we are.

I have wondered what his pre game prep is like. Probably had the interns loaded a bunch of scenarios to keep him on his toes. 

I was wondering if he has access to data from previous elections that would let him game play a full election night in preparation.

In his free time, I bet he listens to old David Brinkley broadcasts from 1960s/70s elections.

Does this place they're at on Fox News not allow minorities in?

Erik Paulsen is out in MN-3. Democrat pickup

[LongestHorn 759]

Fox News projecting Dems win back the house.  Very early call, IMHO.

[G650 14272]

Looks like this shit is right about expectations to me.

 

Though Luria is leading Taylor by 5,000 votes here in VA02 with 11 precincts to go. That is way out of left field.

MI-11. Pickup

KS-3. Pickup.

Down to 17 more to pickup for Democrat control of the House.

Apparently saying overtly racist things in Florida gains you some votes.

[Longhornmaniac8 255]

I think Beto is running out of steam. I don't think the 16% reporting in Harris County is indicative of the outstanding vote. Vote totals look WAY too high to just be 1/6 of total vote in that county.
