Nothing emphasizes Obama's narcissism more than that pic.
Recaptioned "destined for oblivion."

With vote totals flooding in early in the night, it was painfully obvious to the liberal media that the so-called “blue wave” they’ve been hyping for a year crashed against red breakers. It was early in the nine o’clock hour when CNN anchor Jake Tapper admitted “what's going on here tonight, this is not a blue wave. This is not a wave that is knocking out all sorts of Republican incumbents.”
His evidence was Democrats failing to take Kentucky’s sixth district:
Now, there are all sorts of ways Democrats can regain the House without Amy McGrath having defeated incumbent Congressman Andy Barr, but the fact is she did not. And if she had, that would have been an indication of a big, powerful blue wave. The fact that she did not, and it is a district that he won two years ago, Congressman Barr, by more than 20 points. This was a target. Democrats did hope to win Kentucky sixth.
But Tapper held out hope Democrats would take the House by a very narrow margin. “That said, Democrats still have a decent chance of winning back the House. They still have a number of seats that are very competitive where Democrats are in the lead, and that could still happen,” he explained.
A few minutes later, CNN chief political analyst Gloria Borger declared “there is no tsunami. There's no tsunami coming.” According to her, Democrats could win the House by one member “but there's a lot of disappointment I'm hearing from people.”
In response, bitter liberal activist Van Jones tried to keep up morale saying “people need to stay out there and continue the fight”, but admitted “this is heartbreaking, though. It's heartbreaking.” Jones then kicked up the hyperbolic and divisive rhetoric by equating Democratic efforts to unseat Republicans to “antibodies” fighting off an “infestation of hatred and division”.
“That does not seem to be happening tonight. It's not a blue wave, but it's a blue war,” he proclaimed. “We have to continue the fight forward. But I think that sense of helplessness, that has really fueled a lot of this outrage and outpouring from Democrats may still be there tomorrow even if we have the House.”

Recaptioned "destined for oblivion."
Anyone with a realistic outlook and knowledge of history expected us to get a far bigger butt-kicking in the House than we did.
It was not reasonable to expect otherwise.
The liberal failure to make notable gains with virtually unlimited resources is a massive liberal defeat, not a victory.
Has any rat candidate escaped the smell of death when Obama or Bill Clinton campaigned for them?
The liberal failure to make notable gains with virtually unlimited resources is a massive liberal defeat, not a victory.
Not according to historical standards. A repudiation of a sitting president normally turns into a larger vote margin in the house. Yeah, the dems managed to take control, but not by much.
Hopefully that will give the GOP someone to run against in 2020 and swing control back to the GOP. In the mean time, keep your powder dry.
All the negative marches, energy with Trump Hate, negative
bias reporting, gained very little for Dems. All the Stars and Obama campaigning for people who lost, was a big waste of money and resources. They lost the Senate and Trump is still President!
How much money did Dems. waste on this election?
So much for the power of the MSM.
But GOP lost the house. What difference how many seats beyond 218 matters when Pelosi in charge & Dem Chairmen.
