Election Day 2018

My guess is that there is a large percentage of people who vote republican that don’t like trump but like the republican on the ticket for senate, gov or house. So that while polling for trump sucks, it’s best not to strictly apply that distain to all the republicans running - even if that person is supported by trump.

But it’s highly likely and becoming more likely that the Republicans on the ticket loves Trump.
 
Someone tell me how a Harris/O'Rourke ticket isn't a powerhouse in drumming up enthusiasm in 2020. I'm all in on it at this point.
 
So, Republicans do support what Trump is doing. Glad we can put that "anyone but Hillary" myth to bed.

Ted Cruz has to lick the King’s boots to win after he insulted his wife, his father, and everything about him. Republicans love Trump because he effectively represents their core values. Time to face facts, Wrangor. Learn the lessons of 2016.

If you buy the assumption that this election is a referendum on Trump, then it’s hugely disappointing that it’s not blowout city. It’s disappointing how normative the worst parts of trumpism have the potential to become.

+9 is a pretty big blowout. Should be more, of course, and the system is pretty fucked, so the gains aren’t what they should be.
 
Don’t totally understand why Dems are jaded tonight. I agree, I was hoping for a 2007 New England Patriots style blowout as well but 2 years ago BKF and Moonz were rubbing our noses in a big orange turd and declaring the end of the Democratic Party. Then we all knew the Senate map was downright awful.

Now we’re looking at a win in the house, some good governor pickups and hopefully some downballot races. The resistance holds the line.

Oh and now we have Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff in place of Devin Nunes.

Tonight’s a good night for the republic.
 
The races Trump invested the most in key states for 2020, he won. That’s pretty discouraging.

Exactly. And if you live in one of those states, it’s extremely discouraging.

Trumpism is a viable election strategy.
 
Everyone giddy about house control with investigations after this election should realize you are dealing with a fucking insane cult, if you find anything it will be dismissed as fake news because the orange shit stain say it is. You can subpoena his tax returns and show the guy is poorer than a coal miner waiting for his job to come back and being held together by Russian debts but the psychopaths will still say he a good businessman.

It's not like Trump went to campaign in the toughest races. He goes where rubes eat up his Golden Corral of political dumb.

Dems got spooked by the early Florida results - understandable after 2016. This will look a lot better in the morning than it does right now. The midwest came through big time, and even with Beto losing the down-ticket wins in Texas are legitimate.

Near-misses are still losses, but it was a harder mountain to climb than certain media outlets wanted folks to believe.

Also, they at least think they can appeal anything to the Supreme Court.

Every real estate investor looks like they lose money. Because you get to depreciate things that appreciate. His tax returns getting released is going to be a complete shitshow of donk opinions.
