Of course they would have to be delusional to think that they could win the LA Senate runoff, but that they were. You should have seen the crap they wrote on Daily Kos regarding the race and how the DNC and DSCC were cowards for not supporting the RAT, and how all of these Kossites sent money to the RAT with no chance of winning. (I only visit Daily Kos to see if they’ve updated the post with the presidential vote by CD, and I go directly to that link, but sometimes I can’t resist clicking on other posts in the sidebar out of pure schadenfreude.)
They’re gonna go extra bat$hit crazy if Heitkamp accepts Ag Sec. Kevin Cramer can start measuring for the drapes in his new Senate office.
Anyone else hate how irrelevant third party votes disrupt mathematical purity? I loved how OK had no 3rd party votes for President recently until Johnson made last year’s ballot.

1,404,903 margin for Trump outside Cali
For math reasons the order not exactly the same as % margin of victory including all candidates. Utah for example shot up a couple places.
Only 10 of 50 states (and DC and NE-2) saw a decrease.
IL (F you very much DuPage County), MA, CA, MD, AZ, TX (Iowa inched ahead of them!), WA, UT, GA, and VA (suspicious, Kaine or no)
Biggest loss, Utah, though Shillery barely improved on Obama’s total vote share obviously with the McMuffin vote Trump didn’t do as well as Mormon Mitt. McCain’s 2008 2 party vote % was 64.53%, so it was only a little worse than that. Idaho stills sees a gain despite the McMuffin vote there.
Biggest gain in any unit was Maine-2, the biggest gain in a State, North Dakota, land of my ancestors. Iowa the biggest gain in a swing state.
Rhode Island gets out of the basement. Cali worse than MA and VT. OR was alone seeing a gain on a the west coast, though a very small one, they were a fringe swing state but didn’t quite beat out DE.
WV gets the silver medal. They have come a long way. Everywhere but Governor.
