How the hell is FoxNews calling the House for Democrats?  Half the races are done and Dems are ONLY +2 seats.

I was born in Illinois and am so grateful I no longer live there. With these results, the state will be a total $h!thole in no time.

So ... what's going on really?  FL and TX could both be in trouble with Socialists giving the GOP a battle of a lifetime.

If we lose Texas our country is gone.  Not to say that it's not gone already.....

We haven't lost Texas.  The Governor was reelected in a cakewalk.

I don't know what the hell's going on in the Senate race.  I'm assuming the R districts are not yet in the mix.

My state has Pocahontas, a terrible Rino governor, and a host of other horrible initiatives (which I assume all passed).

Florida's always been a bit psychotic.  But based on Abbotts easy win, Texas is still red.

Yes!  If they didn't have bus loads of illegals voting he would be up much more.

Are you suggesting the Dems are taking the House because Trump supporters were turned off by lack of progress on those issues? By all reports, Republican turnout has been good. I think what's actually happened is the media has been successful in its propaganda campaign against Trump and Republicans.

I agree.  The MSM played on the abject ignorance of our electorate, an ignorance that the MSM has been cultivating in collusion with the Socialists for decades.  The MSM is arguably the second most dangerous element in the Deep State's covert war against our Republic.

On the other hand, it ain't over 'til it's over.

Fox is using a whole new kit of algorithms to crunch numbers. It would be great if they're wrong about the house. Polls are still open and the conservative midsection of the country hasn't done counting ballots.

That's why I took a break.

Even IF Cruz wins TX and DeSantis wins FL; both races are extremely close in what should have been very easy wins.  My hunch -- millennials and their love for socialism.

DeSantis still ahead, but Gillum just gained 5,000 votes on him.  Still less than 100,000 votes separating them.

It's not a great night to try to give up coffee.  Or smoking.  Or drinking.  Or sniffing glue.

But be of good cheer.

Go Ted!  It's still hard to believe that someone like Beto is on his coat tails.  Disgusting really and very alarming.

So FoxNews waited to call PA until 100% of vote was in but call House for Dems with 50% in and them only up 4?
