Midterm Elections Live Thread

[Mr KLC]

I know how you feel, but you knew it was coming, I believe the reason the right lost the house is because they did not check in anyway the executive.

I have to disagree with that. The Democrats won the house because historically that's what happens. They held serve.

[vitterd]

The minority party picks up an avg of 23 seats in the midterms. Pretty much happened as average. If they win the two senate races they are leading the total pick up for this midterm will be 24.

You could not have hoped for a better result if you are a repub.

Dems are happy today. If not for an incredibly favorable red map in the senate....it would have been real ugly.

[Mr KLC]

That list you posted...Trump did the 4th worst that's really bad. When you baby boomer hard heads die out, the Republican party will cease to exist. Trump losing in 2020 if he goes up against Bernie Sanders. . After 2020 Republicans will not be relevant and Coorporate Democrats will be few. The people will win.

I agree with you on when us older guys die out that the Democrats will probably have free reign. By that time I'll either be dead or have forgotten who I am, and you can have your shitty Utopia then.

If the Dems have half a brain they will put Orourke up in 2020

Bet your a big Pence Man

I just want money out of politics and this Gerry manderring shit sorted out so it's fair to everyone. I only vote Dems because it's the lesser evil. If I had a third progressive candidate, I would vote for them every single time

that's why it changes, historically the people don't like what the president is doing, a lot of voters interviewed in exit polls, said the main reason they voted Dem was because the repubs gave Donnie free reign. There will be a check now.

[wikkidinsane]

Orouke is a week bastard. He ran a good campaign but if he wasn't such a man poosey he would have probably won

[L8night]

Well Repubs have 2 months left, to pass whatever?, will we see a whirlwind?

Whatever they try to do, it will be guaranteed that the Democrats will cry out telling them to wait until January because it's against the will of the people.

In a Presidential Election there is no competition vs Trump

There is no popular candidate like Clinton, most of these wins by Dems were in smaller areas where people know them

Now if Trump was smart he will work with Dems next 2 years

maybe, but McConnell has said SS and medicare are next up and since tax cuts they have been silent, working behind the scenes.

Very Liberal plan

We’re slowly moving to a democratic liberal society in America which is going to make it the beginning of the end for America I feel sorry for young people

So the Dem's took the house. Will they do the right thing & stop funding these BS wars? Will they cut the military budget & start funding shit that needs to be done here at home? Infrastructure, schools, SS, Healthcare, & a green New Deal.

Don't hold your breath, Asshole Nancy wants to work with Trump. She's in the same pockets he is. The MIC rules this country, & will be the death of it.

Permanent war economy

The concept of permanent war economy originated in 1944 with an article by Ed Sard (alias Frank Demby), Walter S. Oakes and T.N. Vance, a Third Camp Socialist, who predicted a post-war arms race. He argued at the time that the USA would retain the character of a war economy; even in peacetime, US military expenditure would remain large, reducing the percentage of unemployed compared to the 1930s.

I like Ike, gave US all the Warning.

I like IKE also. At least he did the right thing at the end.

[jjgold]

Both parties work together it is their best interest to win in the future

[keely85]

in a perfect world some of the GOP will find a voice to knockdown some of Donny's sillier ideas (they don't have to fight him on everything just his lies and shit about the media would be nice) and position themselves for reelection or 2020, then we will see some bipartisan workings

hoping too that a lot of these new dem won't care as much about the nonsense that the old guard is spewing

[L8night]

Is anyone reading Donnie tweets this morning, go back about 7 hours, this guy is the biggest narcissist on the planet.

[The Kraken]

Lot of bipartisan talk going on now

“Hey guys, I know we obstructed Obama for 8 years and for the last two years we crammed our agenda down your throat, but we should think about working togeter now”

[khicks26]

The Dem's don't need to work with Trump & his fascist agenda. The power of the people is there for the taking. The only question is" Will they take it?

[The Kraken]

2020 Dems will likely reclaim the Senate.

I’d give them a less than 50% chance at the WH.

After these midterms, I have to believe the Dem field will be packed with women, and maybe their beat chance to take Trump down.

Lol. He’s a sick man. I don’t think anyone has told him what happened in the house.

[Kermit]

Moonlight Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof won for Nevada legislative seat last night.

He died 3 weeks ago.

If yesterday is as good as Dems can do I don't know why you think that. The '20 map is favorable to Dems in the senate but they will give back the House if Trump is on the ballot.

Don is gonna play the moral victory card

Reality is this, two days ago there was a republican WH, senate and house. Today they have the WH and Senate (which they were fully expected to keep, but they lost the house and it wasn’t even that close.

2020 dems will control both the house and senate, and Id say there is a good chance trump gets re-elected.

Yesterday was not a win for trump in any fashion, but he has to spin it as such. Thats politics

It actually wasn't that bad and everything went pretty much according to the predictions.
