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

Oh, I know! I live in Connecticut. I've seen the 'RAT hordes from Massachusetts invade formerly Red New Hampshire, and seen thousands of my fellow northeasterners move to Southern states. I was referring to the western states near California in my previous post.

Yes, losing 35 seats constitutes a wave.

Call it what you want, but put it in context:

2010: Obama's first mid-term -- lost 63 House seats and lost 6 Senate seats.

1994: Clinton's first mid-term -- lost 54 House seats and 9 Senate seats.

So in perspective, tonight is a "wave" in the House only -- big or small?

In the Senate a wave also -- a GOP wave.

And they are coming to middle Tennessee. They move far and wide.

I see more tall, thin, long homes being built about 8 feet away from an exact home next to it and on and on down the block.

Looks like the Bronx or San Francisco housing. Then add the large apartment buildings in Nashville that are 20 stories tall and you have to take an elevator home carrying groceries.

The locusts are here.

We had some victories as well, but we also took some tough losses as well. We have to see if we can hold on to Ariz and win Montana. I am very concerned about the Southwest, it seems to be turning as blue and Calif.

As is turning Blue. In the next ten years it will be like NV.

Crap! I guess it's official: Scott Walker loses in Wisconsin.

those were giant waves, but losing 35 seats is nothing to shrug off. And we may have only netted two seats in the Senate if we don’t hold Ariz.

Can’t believe Arrington go beat in SC!

I've seen it called on othre sites 52-48 with 100 percent reporting. I don't know where they are getting their numbers from, but the Sec of State Office only has 80% reporting as of now and have it at 50.96 - 48.26. It is strange since all the other districts have reported 100 %

Well, if you look at the overall returns tonight, open borders and nationalized single payer healthcare have a lot of electoral support. The trend certainly doesn’t good. Open borders and socialism appear ascendant. Georgia and Florida almost elected socialists. Colorado and Nevada went hard left across the board. And in Arizona, an open borders supporter of the Taliban is running very close to a mainstream military veteran of some renown.

I don’t like the outlook here at all.

We’ll hold AZ for now. The McCain held by Kyl will likely go D in 2020.

Damn. Walker loses (but he says he wants a recount). Heller now conceding in Nevada.

Brian Kemp speaking now!

Mike Madigan live interview:

(I'm really not surprised though, since our worthless GOP "opposition party" in Illinois didn't even BOTHER to slate candidates in half the races)

Did Nancy Facelift just say “Let’s hear it for pre-existing conditions?” Why does she favor pre-existing conditions? That's a horrible thing to wish upon people!

When you think about it, the Democratic Party is just about a national preexisting condition...

Arnold the Cali Nazi’s pro-rat gerrymandering ballot initiative passes in Michigan. They also bring back straight ticket voting, if I am reading correctly.

Yup. And I don’t think Trump can change the underlying trend even if he wins re-election.

America as we have known it, is nearly gone.
