McSally appears headed for a win to keep Flake’s seat.

Good news. Now let's hope she doesn't vote like "a Flake".

BREAKING: Republican @DevinNunes wins re-election to the House in California’s 22nd congressional district.

Nice *tiny* bit of good news out of The People's Republik of California.

Thank you for sharing that it took you a long time to get over that moment at the convention. Admittedly it was the first time ever a political candidate ‘hurt’ me as was when he didn’t support the winner.... Which for that learning the hard lesson of not going in that hard with any candidate....I was just absolutely convinced and sold on Cruz...even after he lost because I expected he’d do the right thing for the country....he didn’t. It was a very sad moment.

Yeah, more to come. NV only about 12% in. Tester race close. So many votes not reported.

No sign McSally is going to win. Essentially a tie vote right now.

Well the Prop was written by people who wanted to repeal the gas tax, so I think the vast majority of voters knew that Yes means voting for repeal. But what they don’t understand is that most of the dollars raised by the tax DON’T go to maintain roads and bridges—it goes to pay for bureaucracy and high pay and benefits for public employee union members. The whole thing is a big scam.

Well at least here in AZ the people voted overwhelmingly against the renewable energy mandate (Prop 127), supported by a CA billionaire, which would have increased our renewable energy requirement for electric power generation from 15% to 50%. That proposition was completely crazy and impossible to implement because of the huge night-time energy demand for home air conditioning in AZ during the warm half of the year. (We can’t run AC off of solar power at night...duh!)

Last I checked, NO was winning with 70%. We definitely sent a message to crazy climate change alarmists in CA to not mess with the electric power system in other states. ;-)

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

From listening to the local reporting, yes. Bordeaux (D) was predicted to win 7th Congressional District, now she will not.

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

True. True.

The good news is that now, most of the Republicans are on-board with Trump. IN that past, the Democrats has their majority plus the RINO's. Now, their overall power is not as strong. This can be manipulated with someone who has that ability...

We lost the house because of ethnic voters Republicans are weak at gaining.

GOP needs to actually go into urban areas and talk them over to our side. Do they even have a ground game?

yep, I’m in CA and while we have more conservatives in this state than any other (cuz of largest population base) we would be pleased to be able to get any Republican elected. We didn’t even have a choice of a Republican for Senate, our primary was changed to top 2 vote getters and we had Feinstien and an even more radical lefty to chose from

“Great, so you got rid of a bunch of RINOs, and now you have Pelosi as a result. That’s supposed to be a victory?”

Well, we teach the Republicans a lesson...by f-ing over the country, I guess?

Sorry, but I too cannot understand the logic of the PURISTS here.

Abrams doesn’t sound like she’s conceding.

Going to wait another day, look at lawsuits, etc.
