It would be mystifying if Republicans won more seats in the House, retained the Senate, and picked up state legislative seats, all while the same voters voted against Trump.
Since Joe Biden was picked to be the Democratic Party’s presidential puppet, we have been told he would win the presidency by a blowout. Political media has been speculating eagerly about another “blue wave” that would wash over the nation in line with their preposterous polls showing Biden winning by as much as 17 or even more points.
A week ago, the Washington Post, citing its new poll, reported that Biden had a 17-point lead over Trump in Wisconsin, 57 percent to 40 percent. What an utter, complete, total embarrassment. Current actual difference: 7/10 of one percent. https://t.co/2tRwanTn5n pic.twitter.com/8D5ZT37yF9

Two weeks before the election, the “nonpartisan” Cook’s Political Report predicted an expanded Democrat majority in the House, a “net gain of five to ten seats to a gain of between five and 15 seats.” On election day, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrat campaign chairwoman Rep. Cheri Bustos predicted Democrats “would not only defend gains made in 2018 but flip districts thought to be in safe Republican territory.”
Last week, Democrats told the Washington Post, which described the party as “awash in cash,” they expected to flip as many as 15 House seats on Biden’s presumed presidential coattails. That didn’t happen at all. In fact, the opposite did. Now as localities run by Democrats “count” votes under suspicious circumstances, we are supposed to believe that voters selected coattails detached from a coat?
Republicans have flipped seven U.S. House races so far and Democrats flipped two, according to RealClearPolitics. That narrows Democrats’ hold on the House from 232 to 227, nine more than the majority, even if no more are flipped. Republicans could even ultimately flip 15, as many as Democrats had hoped to.
Republicans had twice as many Senate seats to defend this election than Democrats did, and they currently appear to retain their Senate majority. So far, Democrats have flipped one seat. Far poorer-funded Republicans retained seats Democrats literally spent hundreds of millions of dollars to flip, such as Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
Amy McGrath and Jaime Harrison raised a combined $199,004,686 and lost to Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham by a combined 35 points.

At the state level, USA Today reports, Democrats also failed to flip seats they had targeted, again usually with more money than Republicans. The only gubernatorial flip went from Democrat to Republican, in Montana. In congressional and state House races in Texas, Republicans also retained their majorities despite massive outside funding and high-profile targeting from Democrats.
“Democrats had methodically targeted seat pickup opportunities in several legislative chambers to flip party control in Arizona, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas,” USA Today says. “While some statehouse seats are still being tallied, Republicans held onto control of many of those places, notably in North Carolina’s state House and Senate. Texas, considered one of the biggest flip opportunities, also stayed red. Republicans likely will hold key voting majorities in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan ahead of reapportionment next year” (emphasis added).
Politico, the voice of establishment Democrat wisdom in DC, headlined its Wednesday Playbook newsletter, “What blue wave?” “Tuesday was an abject disaster for Democrats in Washington,” it said. “…We fielded text after text from Hill Democrats Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning with existential questions about their leadership and the direction of their party. Democrats told us in the weeks and months leading up to Election Day that they were on track to win the majority in the Senate, and they don’t appear poised to do that” despite setting forest fires to campaign cash.
In the end, “Republicans could have a net gain of 10 House seats,” Politico claims, squeezing Democrats’ majority. So far, the only two Democrat House pickups in the country are from redistricting in North Carolina. Republicans will win every “expected to win easily” seat, haven’t lost a single “expected to win narrowly” seat, and are ahead in all but three of the 27 “tossup” races.
Meanwhile, Republicans have already flipped three seats that were supposed to be narrow Democrat wins and are ahead in several others, and may even flip one of the “easy Democrat win” races.
That desk claimed last night that Democrats would net 5 additional House seats. As of right now, the GOP is +5 in the House, with only 48 seats left uncalled. And of those 48 races, Dems are leading in only 16, of which 14 are already held by Democrats. https://t.co/FsGSVaz6db

This all means we saw an amazing night for Republicans on Tuesday. Toss atop that eight months of destabilizing coronavirus psychological operations on the American people designed to steal the presidency after other coup methods failed.
Then look at some odd differences between this amazing night for Republicans in downballot races and the incongruent results for Trump in just a few key states — key states that happen to be the ones everyone knew would be crucial to Trump’s path to victory, and all of which began to have “voting irregularities” and pauses in vote counting as Trump appeared to command the lead while closing in on final vote totals.
Biden was projected to win by a significant margin in all of the states on which the election now hangs (all these vote counts were as of Wednesday night and according to RealClearPolitics). There appears to be no relation to polling averages versus actual election night returns — the current vote tallies are in bold at top, to compare to the wildly inaccurate polling averages in the graphs below.
So that GOP doesn’t complain as much. But Elections are meaningless after this.
I would bet that Cocaine Mitch and most of the other GOPe are quietly very pleased with the prospect of President Biden...
Back to the trough immediately...
These parties just take turns siphoning from the American taxpayer....
But Elections are meaningless after this
For Republicans and Independents that vote Republican.
Democrats feel just fine.
They sure are.
The GOP hasn’t figured out that without Trump they’re dead.
I’m sure GOP bigwigs are dumb enough to think people will keep voting for them, after this.
Agree. Elections are meaningless and the Rats and RINOS care omlyabout Power and not the American people as well as this country. So black and white now.
It is also odd that only certain critical swing states are having counting issues.. Funny that New York and California, Alabama and Mississippi were able to count their votes.
Nope it’s only Wisc.Michigan, PA, Nevada and Georgia are having all of this extra time to cheat the voters out of the true result.
The Wall Street Journal is nothing but a propaganda paper.
It’s not that shocking. We all know there is a small but vocal minority of anti-Trump Republicans who probably split their ballot, and, with record turnout, there was probably a good number of people who don’t care about politics and normally never vote but turned out specifically to vote against Trump.
Maybe it was fraud, and there’s certainly evidence that there was some fraud, but fraud is not the only explanation for this outcome.
The old RINO Senate club could care less. It's the younger Republicans who will suffer because there is no infrastructure.
and the media wont have anything to say. Hate for Trump has been their sole source of revenue.
I keep thinking, how could the republicans win so many house and senate seats and President Trump not win! There’s no way, this is voter fraud and another attempted coup. The rats are running scared.
If Trump had the personality of Reagan or even Pence, and accomplished the things he has accomplished, he would have won 45 states Tuesday. As much as some of us love his style, many more despise it. Just a fact.
Of course, it is shocking when voter enthusiasm overwhelmingly in polls, even rigged ones, favored Trump.
what about all the idiots that claim the Ds didn’t win the Senate means there was no fraud for Biden?
“The GOP hasn’t figured out that without Trump they’re dead.”
GOP better get out there and fight for Trump. If not, I am done with the GOP.
NATIONAL PRAYER GOING ON RIGHT NOW .....................................https://www.facebook.com/AdamWyattSchindler/videos/2762771744010226
MAYBE in Maine I can see people not voting for Trump but voting for Collins, but everywhere else, no way would people vote for their GOP senator, or GOP congressperson, but NOT for Trump, NOT possible
The ultimate in gaslighting. We are watching in real time as an election is stolen through fraud.
