That’s exactly Paul Krugman said in his column today. Says that we are Poland and Hungary if the Dems don’t win. Welcome to surly Professor 

The stakes are enormous.

And yet, the Vampires still win.

If she had won, tonight would be a bloodletting for Democrats in Congress.

As it stands now, they are probably going to flip the House.

They were never going to flip the Senate.

Prediction markers basically calling the house 50 50. It seems pretty clear to me that they will take the house but the blue wave appears to be a purple ripple. 

This is my read. Deepening divisions basically.

Only you with your deranged mind is saying that. Focus on the results big guy

I'm not sure what you think I'm deranged about.  Do you even know what deranged means?

You've admitted it in more ways than one.  Just own up to it.  You are who you are.  Just still not sure how you root for anyone on the football team though.

Krugman is brilliant but he's a freaking kook on politics. Read his economic takes - ignore his politics. 

He said the stock market and economy would tank the night that Trump was elected.

Hi guys. Not sure if y'all remember my thoughts on Beto vs Lizard Man, but I said he'll take Wilco and Hays. Tarrant is the real tipping point for this state. And, yes, I realize Harris is still out and I still have hope.

Man, this is disheartening.  Fear is a hell of a motivator.

I don't get this. Tonight is going pretty much exactly as expected.

They need to call Florida Governor. Gillum isn't making that up.

Ehh, not really.  Only thing is I had Gillum and Nelson winning. 

Never had a "wave" but did have Dems winning the House. 

Pretty much doing what they should be doing. 

Dems need to find a candidate and message for 2020 and start in the morning.

Dems have GOT to get rid of Pelosi somehow. 

NOt sure why Rs (hard r as well) don't like her, Pelosi makes them come out of the woodwork. 

[Captainant 28,389]

Upshot of Gillum losing, is that it appears that Florida passed an amendment restoring voting rights to felons, which is going to be a monumental shift in the state's politics

[Celery Man 21,076]

anywhere we can see results for Paxton/Nelson?

Yep.... she's more unpopular than Trump.  She'd be a good whip but she's a terrible face for their party.

Yes, this is like adding another state to the electorate.  I'll take it.

If they win the House, she's going to be the Speaker of the House, and rightly so.

She's a master politician.

Then let her whip.... she's a terrible face for them on the legislative arm.

I agree.  I would also like to see a qual/quant research study on how she's caused Ds to lose races as well because I believe it's there. 
 

She can fund raise behind the curtains.

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

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