FROM FREEPER willk:

First midterm election for new President:

Clinton 1994

House -54
Senate -8

Obama 2010

House -63
Senate -6

Trump 2018

House -30 (roughly)
Senate +4 or +5”

Obama and Clinton didn’t have to deal with 40 anti-Trumpers retiring. Otherwise Trump would have probably maintained the house too.

CA sucks ostrich eggs. At least the great Tom McClintock won.

I wouldn’t say it isn’t a win.

It is, however, a massive underperformance on their part. And the Dem party has lost control of its crazies. They won’t be able to stop themselves from self destructing.

56 is short of the high water mark of 58 in 1928. Its an excellent result.

Yes it is. :-)

That being said... how is Martha McSally doing in AZ??

The libs are tweeting this about Wisconsin:


Astead Herndon Just now
The uncounted Milwaukee votes include 45,000 mailed and in-person ballots in the city, plus over 7,000 from Wauwatosa, Journal Sentinel reporting.

I would assume the same type of issue exists in every county and not just there. It could be awhile before this is decided.

Okay, why is Fox even reporting the Dems “expect” to end up gaining 35 seats (+ 12 majority) in the House or “they predict” without actual votes counted?

Do they want to act like the libtards in 2016?

Thanks.

But I’m done with this. I only have a few precious years left on this good Earth, and I sure as hell ain’t gonna spend them screwing around with this BS.

See y’all later!

I want to repeat this: early in the night Fox called the House for the Dems. The polls were still open in many places. If the dem majority truly is two (2) seats, then tell me how Fox could possibly have made that call, that early, with any credibility?

Collusion?!?! It ain’t Russia.

Really? Does that change the tally of Repubs and Dems in the US House?

“When will California finally experience the economic collapse as a result of their policies?”

It would happen overnight if the Big Tech Companies tax base moved out of State. Of course that won’t happen. But the next recession they will have their hands out to Rat Politicians for more tax breaks to keep them from moving.

The biggest mistake Cruz ever made was running for president. He alienated a lot of people.

Yes, he did. I fully supported Ted when he ran for the Senate in 2012, and felt a bit tricked when he chose to run for president just two years into his term.

I got over that, and began donating to his campaign, but switched to Trump some time in July of 2015. Over the course of the primary, Ted really lost me. Took me a long time after his "vote your conscience" moment at the convention to get on board with him again.

We lost the house because of ethnic voters Republicans are weak at gaining. Look at Florida and Texas ...should not have been that close......... Then you have all the libs from California going into Colorado.

Oh great... just heard on Fox News that Stacy Abrams may be speaking soon. About a RECOUNT in Georgia!

Also worried about the McSally-Sinema race, Tester-Rosendale, Scott Walker in Wisconsin. And in my own state of Connecticut: Stefanowski vs Lamont (gubernatorial).
