The Republicans have retained control of the Senate and the Democrats are projected to gain control of the House.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens on Wall Street today.

Five takeaways from a divisive midterm election

[Nateman]

Anybody know about the State House’s and how they went? Article V is sounding better all the time! I know on my ballot a bunch of RAT’s were totally unopposed but Arizona has already signed up for Article V.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Freakin damn coasts. Good going morons, record eeconomy and record low unemployment and that’s all gone as democrats do everything they can to destroy it to harm Trump reelection chances.

Thanks to Christine Blasey-Ford and her horde of harpies for the big Senate majority. Now we don’t have to put up with noise from their kind, when the next several keystones of the patriarchy are appointed to the Supreme Court. ;-)

You do know that a new constitution would be a disaster right?

Goodbye bill of rights for starters.

[Nateman]

I absolutely disagree with you. Article V got put into the Constitution by the founders for exactly what we face today . Up till now only Congress has submitted any amendments to the states and guess what? Those cursed additions to the Constitution have Centralized power in Washington. It's way past time the the State Houses got a shot at coming up with a few of their own counter offers. Don't forget whatever comes out of that Convention still needs a 3/4 vote of the States to pass. The same hurtle Congress had to cross . If there is anything to worry about it's that some good amendments won't get ratified!

I live in a traditionally “safe” district (6) Georgia. And we lost. And I came from an incredibly “safe” district (7) Texas. And they lost. These districts are increasingly wealthy and liberal. Our world changed tonight.

> Article V is sounding better all the time! <

I agree. As of now, most states are under GOP control. So we still have a chance to reign in the power of the Deep State. We still have a chance to control the flood of illegal immigration.

Will we still have that chance 10 years from now? I’d rather not wait to find out.

[arderkrag]

Everytine someone mentions a new constitution or a convention of states, I roll my eyes. Both are disasters waiting to happen.

[Nuc 1.1]

Utter nonsense.

[PIF]

These A5ers must be all ‘kumbaya’ and ‘can’t we all get along’ types sporting Coexist stickers on their electric cars. A real convention would eat them alive.

However, it is no use telling them that the founders assumed that people today would be educated at least as well as they were.

No use telling them that they would be too busy to attend, too complacent to understand that socialists would dominate the AV convention.

No use telling them that all too many socialists are very wealthy and all too many conservatives are relatively poor and must work, precluding any year long A5 attendance.

An A5 Convention will fix all the wrongs they perceive with the current Constitution. Afterward say hello to your new masters like O-C and her ilk where we will all get along in the shiny new country on the hill called the United States Socialist Peoples Republic ... or else.

Disaster is too gentle a description ..

[Shery]

You totally misunderstand the article V process. It was set in the constitution by our forefather to make needed corrections when the left had gone too far. It CANNOT overturn the Constitution. It is a godsend in that way. Quit listening to Phyllis Schaffly because she is being misdirected by people who don’t want her support for it, because it would expose the democrats for what they are.

[PIF]

Same in Wisconsin. Our world changed ended tonight.

[Pollster1]

Don’t forget that it’s still not over. Most very close races currently have us leading, but often by small amounts. This is when the democrat lawyers and fraud experts step in to steal a few seats.

The socialists lead for CT governor by 600 votes with 99% counted.
Real Americans lead for Mississippi 2 Senator by 7300 votes with 99% counted.
Real Americans lead for Arizona Senator by 15,00 votes with 75% counted.
Real Americans lead for Florida Senator by 38,000 votes with 99% counted.
Then we have House races in Ca 10 (we lead by 700 with 100% counted), CA 45 (not yet called), CA 25 (we trail by 400 with 57% counted), CA 39 (not yet called), Minnesota 1 (we lead by 1500 with 98% counted), GA 6 (we trail by 2,000 with 100% counted), NJ 3 (we lead by less than 2,000 with 97% counted), and NC 9 (we lead by less than 2,000 with 97% counted).

We all know we will play fair and the thug party will cheat on those races if they can get away with it. Stay alert, and if you’re in the area, stay involved.

The Dems delayed the impact of ObamaCare for 5 years (allowing Obama to win re-election); I don’t know why Trump’s tax cuts weren’t implemented sooner, so people could see the positive results. In high cost areas, propaganda convinced people that the loss of the “unlimited” property tax deduction would kill them - although many would still come out ahead due to the doubled standard deduction. The Republicans ceded the House in NJ, NY, and CA because of this.
