It is my birthday today, so I get to post the live thread. :)
Some places to watch:
Politico SenateReal Clear Politics
“We already have 53 seats, minimum - a gain of 2”
Didn’t we gain 3, Florida, North Dakota, Missouri?
Candidate Party Votes Pct.
>>>Jon Tester*
Democrat
142,239 48.7%
Matt Rosendale
Republican
141,191 48.4
Rick Breckenridge
Libertarian
8,524 2.9
291,954 votes, 52% reporting (348 of 669 precincts)<<<
The Libertarian and the suckers who Vote for the Libertarian strike again.
And yes, I consider myself a Conservative with Libertarian leanings.
I’m hanging in there...I don’t know how much longer!
Would you quit your whining? Leave if you want to, become a hermit. The dems are waiting for all of us to die since they have indoctrinated those under 30. The only hope is we can fix things and turn them around before it’s too late. If you want to give up, the hell with you!
So you're in Horry County... Did Arrington lose?? Who won? Sorry, I've lost track of this race other than I wanted Arrington to win.
Cool. Trump beat Reagan’s record of 26 seats in 1982 if it holds.
Well she sure was hyped up in a bad way....
Ok - they are preparing for a recount. Thanks for that link.
He was counting two of those already. So far it’s 4, FL, MO, ND and IN.
True. Just heard on FNC that Brian Kemp may be speaking soon...
We might lose Nevada
Heller isn’t looking too good. We need to get Tester unseated.
53 seats, minimum is GREAT.
As I see it:
50 Seats: We’re stuck with having to please the worst RINO of the bunch, Murkowski. We’ll have trouble with a number of nominations, even well-qualified ones. All it will take to slow things down will be an accusation of leaving bubble gum on a chick’s chair in 3rd grade.
51 Seats (where we were with Kavanaugh): We can usually push through (Collings is pretty reliable on judges), but there will be times it gets messy, as we just saw. She still feels that she has to answer to the tribe.
52 Seats (before Roy Moore lost): We can almost always push anyone through, although it can be tough once in a while.
53 Seats: Pretty solid for getting nominees through. Only really far-out ones will fail, and Trump doesn’t nominate those types.
54 Seats or More: WE OWN IT. Every nominee to every office or judgeship will sail through.
54 was my goal tonight; 53 I could live with; 52 was still an improvement. But give me 54 and I’ll be in the STRATOSPHERE for the next 2 years!
As to the House, they can SHOVE IT. They elected Paul Ryan as Speaker when there others who supported Republican VOTERS (you know, the people like us who wait an hour to vote). They deserve to take orders from Pelosi now.
To claim victory, I hope.
Right, but 3 races are not yet decided and two of them are currently GOP held seats that have not been decided. The very minimum number of seats we would hold if we lose every remaining race is 53 - a gain of two. If we win the remaining races, we would have 56 seats, a gain of 5.
We gained 4, IN also.
65% in and Tester slightly down. Only 22% counted in NV.
You usually are.
Dean Heller*
Republican
93,994 49.8%
Jacky Rosen
Democrat
85,437 45.3
Clark County, Heller might lose
