Didn’t a bunch of D candidates say they would not support Pelosi for Speaker? OF course their word wouldn’t mean too much, but it’ll be fun to make them squirm.

"219 for the Dems...hmm. Not a strong working majority for the Dems. If any Dem mounts a serious charge against Pelosi the Pubbies can join in and deny Pelosi the speaker ship."

As much as we dislike smarmy Pelosi, at least she is a known quantity and not one of the crazy up and coming communists in the Democrat party.

Thank you for that from Sen. Graham.

Yes we have had a GOOD NIGHT in the Senate....

And in the GA Governor’s race and other governors?

Does anyone have a list of the GREAT WINS we have seen tonight?

>> If you are pro 17th amendment then you are and anti FREE REPUBLIC! <<

Hmmm. Founding father James Wilson was the one who first proposed the direct election of Senators. He did so at the 1787 constitution convention. He was a signatory of Declaration of Independence, twice elected to the Continental Congress, one of the six original justices appointed by George Washington to SCOTUS, and considered a brilliant legal theorist and major contributor in drafting the United States Constitution as we know it today.

But I guess that guy was "ANTI-FREE REPUBLIC" since he disagreed with you about how U.S. Senators should be chosen, right?

Totally agree. Many things should drop - FISA included.

Why was this not done before the midterms? It would have helped our side.

I agree..it’s a great disadvantage that must be remedied.

Our TV only warms up for football on Sundays now ( hubby has a pool with his family that his mother always wins) the rest of the week it just collects dust. Haven’t watched Fox since O’Reilly left.

tonight we saw Ted Cruz come within a couple percent of being defeated - in TEXAS!

Ted is officially 6% ahead of Beto in the vote count, and they're still counting votes in west Texas.

Scott Walker has finally taken a slight lead over Tony Evers in Wisconsin by about 200 votes. I hope he can get that margin up to a few thousand to avoid a recount. Next to Trump Walker is the other Republican who’s put up with tons of Democrat s**t and survived. Hopefully, he does it again.

I am positive that Trump and others could have put out one heck of an October surprise(such as Declass). They decided to sit on them until after the election. Very bad decision.

Another big mistake is allowing Soros to keep interfering with elections in every way that he does. Without Soros then the dems would have lost for sure.

Jocko-
As far as I know, the ballots RECEIVED (INCLUDING early voting) are what we’re seeing. For most, if not all the states, if your absentee ballot is postmarked by the date of the election, it will be counted. So, any absentee ballot received AFTER election day SHOULD be counted. I do NOT know what the rule is for military ballots. One hopes they are counted as well.

Basically, we live to fight another day.

2020 is coming, sooner than you think.

And Texas rejecting Beto!

><><

True enough, but it was too close for comfort. It’s scary how well Beto did in Texas.

no one wants to count on his vote in a clinch
