Got high hopes for Iowa when the polls close in 20 minutes. We could go from one dem congressman to 3 dem congressmen (maybe 4 if Scholten pulls off the upset!) plus a democratic governor. Course, we swung righter than anyone expected in 2016 so maybe I should keep my hopes down.

Folks, so long as we take the house this is a win.

Don't get mired down in hopelessness just yet.

There are reasons to be disappointed though.

Florida is being a huge disappointment tbf.

I honestly thought Gillum was going to win.

And they refuse to get ride of Rick Scott for some reason.

What was supposed to be Big "Blu" Wave if not winning house? I mean Senate was always close to impossible. Governors are looking good. So far only Florida and Georgia are disappointments. I feel like I'm missing a piece of narrative.

Regardless of the final results, these are not "Blue Wave" numbers. More like an average midterm shift. That's not good enough.

Honestly there's been some decent outcomes tonight. I'm willing to celebrate the small victories for now.

As shitty as Santorum is he basically nailed it - you can't have a wave when both sides are energized. The blue wave assumed dems would be much more energized than the GOP. But GOP turnout/energy is higher than expected.

That's true. It is a divided nation and GOP capitalized very well on 2016 results. 2020 is a freaking enigma, especially if Dems won't be able to find a strong candidate.

Congrats, Ms. Cortez, and thank you NY!
We're lucky to have you!

I'm really glad it looks like Dems are gonna grab the house, and facking jubilent at the possibility of Beto doing it, but Gillum (and probably Nelson as well) losing it in FL is a crushing blow. I really thought we could turn it around.

Nice to see dog racing get banned and #4 passing is REALLY good, but man...
