Plus Texas is recruiting all the California businesses, which economically is great, but they bring their communist bs with them. Actually hope Amazon doesn’t pick DFW for its 2nd HQ.

Real Clear Politics has the Dems up 24 seats and it looks like our RINO congressman Rob Woodall is losing to a Few with 87% reporting.

Small victories?!? If NV and AZ hold this is as good as you could have hoped for. Not to mention the deadwood we got rid of in the house and Senate. Coulter was on Breitbart and had exactly the right take on this. It’s basically a red wave as far as the Senate is concerned. IF those two states hold.

Its not conservatives fighting RINOs, its RINOs fighting conservatives. They are the ones who betray us, they are the reason we don’t stand as a voting bloc.

They are the reason we lose elections, the establishment.

I still don’t think it’s over. I’m still skeptical we have truly lost the House. Maybe that’s irrational but that’s where I am.

We have a weak Democrat House and a strong GOP Senate.

This is the best of all worlds in the sense the Dems won’t have much leeway with their agenda.

Its DOA and Trump has a strong GOP bloc in the House. Even Reagan didn’t have it.

Democrats will wish they had lost tonight.

Basically, we live to fight another day.

We are in MUCH better shape than this. A President ready to take on Pelosi, a Trump Senate with a larger majority, and a President who knows how to use his pen and phone.

Plus ... think of the judges!! The dozens and dozens of judges. :)

I don’t know. Once it was thirty days before the election the media would have screamed bloody murder. I have no idea why it wasn’t dropped six months ago. Probably a “deal”.

Cruz led the never Trumpets in the 2016 election. Trump may have forgiven him but a lot of voters didn’t.

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

That’s still scary and a bad omen. Cruz had better thank President Trump for saving his butt.

I don’t think the loss of the House had much to do with Trump, as much as it was the poor GOP candidates, and it was a historical norm with the Party in the White House taking the hit.

As was pointed out, the Republicans that did the worst were the ones who went against Trump.

Curbing the social media monopoly through legislation will be rendered impossible if the Democrats take the House of Representatives. Other than having loons like Schiff, Waters, and Pelosi attempt to subvert Trump through endless investigations, the failure to impose political neutrality on Big Tech is the greatest danger coming from a Democrat takeover of the House.

Word is they won’t impeach, at least the leaders don’t want to cause they know there is no crime. But they want to investigate him and the entire administration to death to soften him up for 2020.

It looks like Olmsted still has precincts out. That’s not good because Feehan has been doing good there. But Winona and Blue Earth are in. That is good news.

Dodge (Hagedorn winning there) still has seven precincts out.

Mower (40 precincts) has reported nothing. That’s a bit scary with the labor unions there.

Freeborn (Hagedorn wining slightly) has seven precincts out.

Yikes!

I hope President Trump will find a place for John James in his administration! Pres. Trump has said James is a rising star! Hoping he will bring that “star” into his team!

I miss the days when we weren’t concerned about an imminent civil war.
