2018 midterm gameday thread

[Bama Chick 28596]

Women went to Democrats by 20 points and independents went to Democrats by 12 points.

I think they said both went to Trump by 4 percent two years ago.

Y’all thank a woman tomorrow.

PS - Rick Santorum is still a frothy cum spewing choad.

Was Abrams supposed to lose by this much?

Considering the election was rigged, yes.

Crazy night...... House is going hard for the Dems.  Senate hard for the Pubs.

Biggest surprise of the night

Tester winning by 10 points.

I need Steve King and Gianforte to lose to take some of the sting out of the Beto loss.

How bizarre.  The one national institution that represents the actual electorate by one person one vote goes hard dem.  Meanwhile, the "great compromise" has resulted in two republican presidents who got fewer votes than their opponents, and a Senate that is disproportionately represented by red states.  I get the need for the compromise at the time, but we're headed to another civil fucking war if a party continues in power with a minority of votes.

Massachusetts just elected its first black woman ever
Kim Davis was defeated
Colorado just got its first gay governor

I'm sad Beto lost tonight.  But didn't Abraham Lincoln lose a senate race to go on to win the nomination?

I like the parallel, and I'll leave it at that.

"You disagree with me therefore you are a rrrracissst!!"

You aren't doing much to dispute the trope that progressives don't genuinely care about racism and just use accusations of racism as a political tool to secure power.

IS MJ Hegar going to pull this one out in US DIstrict 31?!

Hegar 50.2%

Carter 48.4%

60% reporting

Is Hegar still ahead in TX-31? That would be an upset, right?

Good riddance to Pete Sessions and John Culberson.

Baby blue & Pink wave I say, which is the trans flag colors.

So. Obama was right. Red States Blue States and even purple states is a notion of yesteryear.

The words "you disagree with me therefore you are a racist" has never been typed from my account.  

You as a republican don't care about racism. 

[Gap03 3304]

Anyone watching what's going on in TX-31?  MJ is currently up by 4k votes over Carter right now.

[Murfdogg21 4412]

If this thread is indicative of the Congress and the country, so much for a hope of returning to bipartisan cooperation. R’s don’t have a lot to gloat about and shouldn’t be. D’s should stop calling all people who voted R racists and rapists....the economy is the biggest issue for many, more so than wanting more illegals in the country or wanting nothing short of socialized healthcare.

You aren't doing much to dispute the trope that progressives don't genuinely care about racism and just use accusations of racism as a political tool to secure power.

And you aren't doing much to dispute the trope that Republicans stoke white grievance and fear of minorities as a tool to secure power.

Kornacki calls it 25 folks, the House has flipped

[Js1 85310]

MN-2 flip. I think that’s #23

The biggest thing to remember, especially with the dems taking the House, is that we should hear from Mueller in the near future. If he comes out with major things it may be too big for even a Republican Senate to ignore. 

and if he doesn't have bupkis which is likely then what? a do over?

Why does it have to be a wave? This election followed historical norms for a midterm. What is the fascination with a wave? 

[Celery Man 20934]

to be clear - as a republican tonight if you are celebrating (broadly) because Ted Cruz got a win in Texas, narrowly, that is the moral victory

So so so many subpeonas from the House. Enjoy Trump's dirty tax returns bud.

What numbers are you watching? That'd be another nice silver lining to Beto's loss.
