Gotta say, in 50 years of watching politics, I've never seen "the House" called before individual races for the House have been called.

We have 200 "Smith vs. Jones" races out there that haven't been tallied. LS

I should add that looks like the House is now 156-156, and the beating ain’t over yet.

NYT is showing:

HOUSE
161 Dems and 162 Reps
Dems gained 20 and Reps lost 20 currently

SENATE
42 Dems and 50 Reps
Dems lost 2 and Reps gained 2 currently
That would leave 8 undecided

but we'll never get that wall Trump promised.

regardless, NO TSUNAMI.
they might gain some lame duck power, as they cannot push anything through the Senate without Trump or get Trump to sign anything without the Senate.

The Judiciary path to forcing americans to comply... is now officially dead. Mission accomplished.

And yes, the 700 billion for the military could be used to build the wall. There is no law needed to allow the wall. just the decision to declare it an national defence item, as soon as one “refugee” launches a bottle rocket at our concertina wire.

That should occur sometime in the next three weeks.
Sessions will be retired, rosenstein will fall into line because trump and him made a deal on the plane.

I hope the dems vote to impeach with their 218 seats. as it will mean NOTHING. but it will bring out the crazies.

disappointed I am that the black american vote that likes our president did not show up to vote in great numbers, of 30 percent or greater.

but not surprised.

Ryan converted the house to a planned coupe d’etat lame duck session.

the man is human trash, when it comes to serving we the people.

I want to hear from all the those that screamed wait until after the midterms to fire Jeff Sessions and Rosenstein. Well too late now.

When I went to vote it wasn’t packed, only 4 people in line in front of me, but the workers said it was a big turnout. The four people in line in front of me were all women, and women in the voting booths when I walked in easily outnumbered men 3-1. It was just a 10 minute snapshot of one polling place, and in a dark blue ocean of voters, but I still did my duty and hoped the rural areas of the state would make up for it...

Seems like GOP ran some really terrible candidates in key races.

Someone has to vet these people better and get better selections in the primaries.

There is no way to disguise this disaster.

Disaster? When was the last time a president's party gained seats in the house in a midterm election? I'm thinking 2002 and 1998. Otherwise, it has only happened once since the Civil War (1934).

This is a typical ebb and flow of US national politics with a surprise in that the president's party added Senate seats.

“The trend just isn’t with us.”

take it to a higher level.
we have had the trend with us for 230 plus years.
and especially the last two... to be honest I feel like I won a four year “season tickets” package for about 300 million of my closest friends to disney land, magic mountain and Knots Berry Farm...

These newly empowered idiot-dems will do nothing useful but act out like babies who have no power. they will politically poop their pants. run around in dirty diapers and scream for whatever they want. they will riot, revolt and pillage inside the only box they have to play in... one where they can do nothing with out DJT and a Senate who has just confirmed about 80-100 conservative judges for LIFETIME, plus two or more supremes... about which they will continue to have NO EFFECT OR POWER to impact, for at least another 2 years and likely 6.

We get to watch them self immolate... and most likely be repudiated next cycle... after their “we got the power” laps around their own back yard full of doggie doo wearing their big leaky and stinky baby diapers!!!

Trump will have a field day with them and so will we... because we just flushed 40 diaper baby rhino (really democrats) and replaced more than half of them with adult, trumpian conservatives.

Now, taking that into account, when it matters, we now have more trumpians in the house than we had after the last election.

And with their help, we as a nation with trump driving the boat, will make them look like the clowns they are.
Real america will see it.

We do have some hard lessons ahead. Women in America are going to have to learn what happens when they become blousey ford followers... and that lesson will probably come from events beyond human control personally and at the direction of an almighty God.

We must stop killing the babies or God will smite us as a nation. Women are going to have to end their perverted love affair with government, sex outside of marriage, abortion as a means of birth control... and find a love of marriage, faithfulness, and being the sexual gatekeepers in our culture.

Ozzie and Harriet, and leave it to Beaver... ain’t as bad as liberals made them out to be.

I would trade some Senate gains for holding the House.

How is McSally doing?
