How's the election result?
SUPER TIGHT result. Was supposed to be a blow-out. The PATTERN for first midterms after party takes White House is from 40 to 60 bloodbath in Congress. That is the pattern we should have seen. But there was NO RED WAVE
It is razor-thin, can go either
In Senate the Georgia race goes into a run-off. Senator Warnock won his first runoff. He got more votes against the Fake Cop Herschel Walker. This is FAVORED to go our way. We won't know until Dec, but if we hold Georgia, we hold Senate. So Trump wiped Mitch McConnell out - again
The Nevada vote count is not finished and we have a good shot at Senator Catherine Cortez Masto still winning re-election in the Nevada race. In that case Georgia runoff will not even matter
We cannot call the Senate yet. But we have significantly better chance of holding it
In the House it SHOULD have been a blow-out. 30 seat gain AT LEAST, and could have been 40-50 seats. GOP was running against an 'unpopular' sitting President, and the newsmedia was hyping 'inflation' as the boogie man. Yet Congress may be gain of 3-9 seats to GOP. AND..
AND it is still very plausible we hold the House. The final math favors the GOP but only barely. And these last counts could well go our way. We are IN IT to KEEP the House. The only reason for this catastrophic election day failure by GOP is... Trump
#LetTrumpBeTrump
Can you imagine how stupid it would have been, after Nixon resigned, for the Republican Party to have let Nixon be their public face going into the NEXT elections? That would have been catastrophic
But that is what GOP is doing now with Trump. They are stuck with their monster
You will see a lot of pundits, and some Republicans try to proclaim the party has to move past Trump
They CANNOT. Trump OWNS the BASE of GOP
The Maganutters will obey Trump, destroy anyone on GOP side that Trump hates (see Liz Cheney). Trump cannot harm us. He will damage GOP
