    On a more dour note,  the losses in Florida and Ohio,  in a democratic year,  tells me these states may be lost.  Turning into Missouri...

    Cordray hasn't lost yet,  but it's not looking great. 
    no official totals yet but turnout was 50% or so..... wwhich for Ohio means approx 4 million stayed home.

    I am confused here, news reports are saying Democrats won, so why is Trump tweeting the following?

    I watch this from afar and I don't understand  a lot if it. 
    So basically  not as many changes as you all wished or has it gone well? So far
    It went very well.

    Ot went fairly close to what all the polling and models said was most likely.  It is good because we were fearing another big bump over the polling numbers for republicans.

    Ideally, i would have preferred a bigger wave of people who cant stand a cartoon character as unchecked president.  And some bad guys did win.  If there is another supreme court seat, it is all but a slam dunk.


    But control of the house was always the focus and goal, and it was accomplished.  Its a big deal.  Any major legislation will need to go through the house. It is no longer a trump rubber stamp.   They can subpoena records from trump and his corrupt cabinet.  Get the tax returns.  They will form committees and panels and make things much more difficult for trump.

    I also took gender into account this year (and for the last few elections).  While it wasn't a deciding factor like it was for you, it was a factor.  And I think that I did vote for a women in each office where one was running.

    Well, we all knew how he would spin this.  However, I do think some of the results were unfortunately favorable for Trump.  The Senate is even more R isn't it?  There goes impeachment.  Florida and Ohio went way more Red then I had hoped.  This was a mixed bag election.

    Yup, that's important for sure.  Looking at the vote difference throughout the country in the contested races...man, split as a nation.  There is no Mandate for a senator elected by 70,000 votes...governors by thousands.  It really shows where we are.  We truly need a leader that brings people together again and I fear that won't happen without a HUGE national tragedy at this point.  We certainly won't get it from this Admin.

    Colorado elected the first openly gay governor. Good on them.
    He was my congressman for many years. Very approachable and happy to talk to constituents out in the real world.

    It really is dependent on the candidates. MN re-elected Klobuchar for Senate and she's probably the only state wide candidate to win anything substantial in the rural districts.

    She’s Team Trump Treason’s boogeyman but I tend to agree. Time to move on but she knows her way around congress and rounding up votes. Be tough for someone else to beat her for the speakership and Dems need unity.

    I don't know that I've heard anyone say they want Pelosi in charge, but it seems that is how it's going to be. Why does the House Speaker always have to be a complete doof?
    It's a hopeless situation...
