Yes, losing 35 seats constitutes a wave.

just read an interesting post on dailymail that I think pertains to many dem house wins.

(((Glad she won, a clueless democrat is better than a politically savvy democrat, who is part of the machine. It’s not like the south Bronx would ever have a republican congressman, so I’m glad to see the democrats take 1 step further away from reality and effectiveness.)))

P.S. Senator Mike Braun (R) wins in my state of IN.

Just trying to share some good news!

But the longer-term problem seems to be too many democrat ex-Californians have moved into Nevada to get away from the problems caused by democrats in CA.

I suspect they’re infiltrating Arizona, Montana, Colorado (which is gone now anyway), Texas and other states. It’s a very worrisome trend.

Cali is only part of the problem. The locusts originate from everywhere they’ve already ruined. Like NYC, NJ, Mass, etc.

This is what *was* done *to* Cali several decades ago. Now, the locusts have fed and grown fat and laid waste to their surroundings and now fly to new fields upon which to feed.

Completely Californicated.

It has been a fast transition. The entire west is fast heading towards socialist majorities. Vegas is every bit as far left as Seattle or Portland.

You don’t know much about history. Definitely NOT a blue wave. It’s a very narrow majority in the house for Dems and Trump will have succeeded in a +4 pickup in the Senate, best in history for a sitting president! Look at Obama and Clinton. Those were historic losses.

>> My district just went from a centrist Black Democrat (who was 1% more Conservative than Dickerson (!)) to a loon. <<

My Senate district has a similar de-evolution a few election cycles back, going from a centrist Lipinski type Democrat (the solidly pro-life and anti-illegal alien Ed Maloney) to a worthless Mike Madigan yes-man (Bill Cunningham). Of course, Cunningham won his first Senate race in 2012 by CLAIMING to be a Lipinski-type RAT (ran campaign ads with cute family photo ops walking out of church services claiming to be "Your average Catholic dad") and then promptly voted to legalize gay marriage shortly after being sworn in, and went full moonbat after that.

Of course, Maloney himself was a downgrade from what we had in the late 90s/early 2000s: a Peter Fitzgerald type suburban Republican (Patrick O'Malley). Then O'Malley retired to run for Governor in 2002, and the RATs redrew the district to be majority RAT. Since the district was still 80% suburban, they ran "conservative Democrat" Maloney.

It just shows you the continued leftward creep of Illinois overall. Now even the collar countries have fallen to marxist RAT control. Look who Randy Hultgren just lost to, in what USED to be Dennis Hastert's district. I think we might only be left with a handful of Republicans way downstate when the dust settles.

I’ve been saying for years that URBANIZATION had a much bigger impact on political trends than immigration. Go to any coffee shop or diner in any city or suburban town in the U.S. and listen to the conversations around you. It’s pathetic how incapable these people are at managing their own lives. They expect government to do simple sh!t that normal humans would have done themselves as recently as a few decades ago.

Tailback posted this on another thread and I agree with him...Something really stinks.

“There is something seriously wrong with the Oregon vote totals The Oregonian newspaper endorsed the Republican. A couple years ago a ballot measure to prevent illegal aliens from getting a drivers license passed by 68% A anti sanctuary state ballott measure fails? No. This is all fraud. It doesn’t make any sense. I can believe the R candidate losing. I REFUSE to believe the result in the sanctuary ballot measure.

I think we are arguing about semantics. We took a beating tonight. And we may only get two Senate seats out of it.

The MSM had Florida in the Dems pocket and Carville knows that. All the Dem senate All-stars fell tonight. Dems poured in hundreds of millions of dollars to win Texas, Florida, Georgia, NC house races that remained Rep. Blue Wave was meant to take over governor-ships etc. Hasn’t happened.
