The "We Should Have a Midterms 2018 Discussion Thread" Thread
Dems might pull this out yet house wise. Good gubernatorial results.
Brat may be going down here locally which would put me in a big mood.

I'm feeling 98% that we'll take the house…but by possibly less than 5 seats
that's not a referendum on trump at all
makes me fell most Americans are ok with trump
ugh and the just called Cruz
within seconds of this post…they called the house
I should be excited, but I'm feeling deflated
the NBC news staff took a big sigh when that was announced and got a little more peppy in their commentary
jez looks like the senate might get to 54…this is a disaster

We get House they keep senate…not that bad
I wanted more but the house is important
It is all about 2020 now….Trump has FL and OH almost locked down. a very few states will determine 2020…

Virginia did amazing
Brat bites it
to think this is the guy who took cantor out (always wanted to thank him for that)
Gillium concedes…
at least In Florida, Amendment 4, which restores voting rights to those with prior felony convictions, has passed

Nobody should be surprised by the Senate….

senate will flip blue in 2 years, if history holds, so he has 2 years of unfettered power.
33 Senate seats up for grabs.
23 are Democrats (including FL, IN, MO, MI, MN, MT, ND, OH, PA, VA, WI, WV)
2 are Independents who already Caucus with the Dems.
8 are Republicans in AZ, MS, NE, NV, TN, TX, UT and WY.
This is definitely an election one can look at as glass is half full or empty
McConnell did what he wanted with 51-49 so I don’t see Senate results having impact…democrats were unlikely to flip…
The check in House is important and a new reality
Looking to 2020 we see a pretty clearly defined map with FL and OH going Trump leaving election to be fought in very very few states that should favor us like PA MI WI but don’t count out Trump…he has political skills and has to be considered favorite

Virginia and Michigan really had great nights
Michigan, all the top statewide office holders were won by Democratic women, along with three new Dem women being sent to Congress. To top it off, the voters in Michigan voted to completely legalize marijuana, outlawed gerrymandering, enacted same-day voter registration and created a transparent auditing system to ensure all the.votes are always counted correctly.
I'm going to have a serious sit down with those in OH and FL tho…
Ok…it's over, not how I wanted it to go..but we actually now have leverage to stop the insanity that is going on at the Federal level
we've elected the most diverse congress in history…that will have an impact for generations
word is there is going to be a Cabinet shake up and Sessions won't make it to christmas

Would've preferred a few more House Seats and another Senate seat (Texas was achingly close) and getting at least one of the GA/FL governorships would've been nice. But all and all, a good night. Not a colossal knockout but the Dems made gains and have a real check on Trump. Positive movements in suburban areas in MI/WI/PA (and VA but it doesn't matter) portend well for 2020 if we run a Biden type.

well one is 75 and one is 46
but I will concede on type…I just think most people won't draw that conclusion since he's new, he's blue and can raise a shitload of $$$
I just think why you say Biden-type…just sounds like old school/establishment Dem
I feel (with out a lot of facts) that he's the face of the Neu-Dems (enough of the 70 year olds…we need new blood)
I'm actually not in love with Beto (yet), but he's ticking off all the right boxes for a contender for 2020
Kinda expecting GGW to gloat a little more

How does he stay relevant for the next two years? People will forget his concession speech right after Thanksgiving dinner…

true…but the guy raised $70 million in a mid term…a force to be reckoned with.
also now name recognition across the nation is through the roof
I think people didn't even listen to his concession speech
all about optics

Please do.
Well with the decent but less than thrilling results, the question for me is:
Do I cut a few inches off (what my wife would prefer), just cut the dead ends off (what my daughter would prefer, does that really count as a haircut?), or not cut it at all?

There is only one Biden….I think he would help in Pennsylvania which is critical but damn he is past his shelf life
The primaries are going to be nuts
