Let's be honest here. The only reason to not call this a "Blue Wave" so far is freaking Florida.

It's not even close to a wave, it's a tiny blue ripple. Far smaller than the red wave midterm for Obama. It's pathetic and sad, but it's what I expected. The current democratic party is toothless, and so are too many of it's voters.

Fucking Lee Zeldin going to win my district. I HATE my red NY county.

I think the point that I saw earlier was that Beto was missing his bench marks, how much did he need from Houston?

Vic_Viper · Nov 6, 2018

So what does it mean that the Dems have won the House, but Reps still hold the Senate?

Cubans.

EDIT: Not to generalise an entire group of individuals, but Cuban Americans tend to vote more towards Republicans and Miami has an awful lot of them.

But I got a hopium shot that said displaced Puerto Ricans were going to turn FL blue!

Can you guys not throw tantrums and destroy the site? Thanks.

Totally a blue wave. BETO/OCASIO-CORTEZ 2020

Fucking predictable.

transience · Nov 6, 2018

I don't understand how I came in expecting to take the house and lose the senate, most likely getting that, and yet am still disgusted at these results.

Duxxy3 · Nov 6, 2018

Well Florida and Texas failed us, but it looks like the mid west is pulling through. GOP got wiped out in New England.

ody · Nov 6, 2018

reset stop dying pls

JigglesBunny · Nov 6, 2018

Obligatory "fuck you" to Ted Cruz.

Halbrand · Nov 6, 2018

CNN called Texas for Cruz

MilkBeard · Nov 6, 2018

Sad about Beto. He should run in the future.

However, Dems taking the House is still a decent win. I'll take it.

This thread is very confusing to a non-America so I'll ask a simple question. Have you guys unfucked yourself or are you still fucked?

Dems controlling the house hamstrings Trump passing any legislation whatsoever.

But they have have gained seats in the Senate, which sucks cause our Collins/Murkowski wall against really terrible shit is meaningless now.

SharpX68K · Nov 6, 2018

CNN projects Republicans keep control of the Senate - Ted Cruz wins in Texas.

I did my part though this is in Nebraska.

A shame about Cruz winning Texas but we all knew it would be a longshot.

Milky Way · Nov 6, 2018

CNN just projected Cruz.

It's over +8%. The fact the Senate is weighted towards rural areas is not the fault of the voters but the way our government is set up.

Beto 2020 either way.

He and Gillum can still do a lot of good nationally.

Yep and Beto doing that well in TX State race at least gives him a chance to win TX vs Trump. A slim chance probably

Time for CA to bring this home.

Lots of booing and lots of cheering. Hard to keep a handle on what's going on while working.

Where's this at?

Fuck Cruz.

Well, whatever they try to do has to go through the Senate, which Republicans have actually gained seats for tonight. The nominated speaker is gonna have to convince Republican senators to vote on shit.

None of that matters. Trump is now, officially speaking, a lame duck president. The only things that will get through are routine bills like the budget and his administration will be investigated out the ass.

Bigger picture.

A Dem nearly wrestled the senate seat in Texas.
An openly gay woman was elected.
Kansas turned blue.
Illinois turned blue.
A lot of races that Trump won in double digits either lost, or won by a smaller percentage.

The Dems just landed a gut punch to Trump by winning the house. Investigations are going to flood this Presidency.

It's been a good night.

Didn't Trump insult Ted's wife and hes still on stage with him acting all buddy like? How are woman okay with that?

https://www.thecut.com/2016/11/9-women-on-why-theyre-still-voting-for-trump.html

"I heard that he said something about groping women, and I'm thinking, Okay, No. 1, I think that'd be great. I like getting groped! I'm heterosexual. I'm a woman, and when a guy gropes me, I get groping on them! I grope them back. Groping is a healthy thing to do. When you're heterosexual, you grope, okay? It's a good thing. Try it. I wonder if Nixon groped Pat."

So is it a lock that the Dems won the House? Can I go to bed and not worry I'll wake up to shit?

Not a lock but it's very positive

BriGuy · Nov 6, 2018

Dems winning the House is pretty consequential all things considered. That's one less firewall surrounding Trump; there will be real investigations launched into his wrongdoings and conflicts of interest now. I didn't get everything I wanted tonight, but I take solace in knowing the orange turd is going to be that much more miserable for the next two years.

The expected result happened. Dems can block all legislation and start investigations. Pubs can confirm whoever the fuck they want for anything.

I mean I'm pissed too but we took the house, that is a wave

KuroNeeko · Nov 6, 2018

FACKING CRUZ, Scott, DeScamto, and probably Kemp in one night?
I'm not going to make it, Era...

Myradeer · Nov 6, 2018

Meh I never trusted Florida, but loss of Beto stings :(

rokkerkory · Nov 6, 2018

Beto did this thing for the house Ds in Texas

Charpunk · Nov 6, 2018

I am super bummed about Beto. Fucking hate Cruz so much.

Deleted member 33057 · Nov 6, 2018

Collin Allred beat Pete Sessions in TX-32. That's a huge pickup.

Beto died for their sins

... yeah? Your initial response to me seemed to be you disagreeing with me calling the Blue Wave bs. And it was. Everyone that said the Dems were gonna kick ass and take names like the GOP in 2010 was delusional. All I'm saying. Agree with your above post.

Ok. We agree to agree then, lol. Maybe I read something wrong the first time, I can't remember. I'm tired :-P

Psamtik · Nov 6, 2018

Yeah, Trump's legislative agenda is fucking dead, and that's fantastic.

Beto should get cracking on that 2020 campaign immediately. Nothing energizes a Democratic base like young and handsome.

Take the wins and keep moving forward. We got the house and other things. Whining about not winning every race is insane.

This really makes me fearful for Trump's chances in 2020. Shy of something truly mind blowing from Mueller I just don't think he's going to lose given the fact that we fucking lost Senate seats.

CrazyDude · Nov 6, 2018

There really isn't anything stopping republicans from railroading a bunch of legislation through before January. I'm expecting health care to be repealed before January and whole bunch other stuff to go through before they lose the house.
