The GOP lost the House, but not by the margin I had thought.  I wonder what words of wisdom we'll hear from Ryan if any?

Ryan will tell us it is his fault for not getting real legislation passed and enacted while he had the chance.......no. Not really. He will blame Trump and immigration from behind the large brick wall he built around his mansion to keep people out.

I saw a tweet from Karen Monahan that she and her son were having to move out of state because of all the threats they were receiving.

Guess Dade and PB didn't turn up as Blue as Broward so it's a discrepancy.   *****rollingeyes*****

County         Scott        Nelson      Rpt.
Miami-Dade 309,779    474,561     100%
Broward      188,967    419,827   99
Palm Beach  235,794    329,074  99

Not surprised...I was expecting something like this to happen.  Is he demanding recount yet?

ABC News projects Democratic wins in seven House races — CA-13, CA-15, CA-17, CA-18, CA-19, WA-7 and WA-9.

ABC News also projects Republican wins in MI-1 and UT-2.

ABC is showing two of the seats they had as "Likely Republican" went Democrat.  Does anyone know what they were?

 :rolling:   I really like DeSantis --- too bad they reigned him in and wouldn't let him oust Rubio in '16.  Extremely happy to have him as my new governor!

Average win for opposing party in midterms, since WW2, is 30, so it shouldn't be a surprise.

ABC is now projecting 34.

Wouldn't that be ironic if the Dems taking the House is THE thing that gets Trump re-elected in 2020?

2 years to make complete asshats of themselves while the Senate just laughs.  Repeal tax reform?  Yeah, good luck.  Impeach?  Please, just try it.

Dems +20 in House now.

Well, Nancy, if you win, welcome to uselessness for the next 2 years.  Nothing you pass will make it past the Senate and Trump will write executive orders you can't do a thing about.

Investigate all you want. America will hate you.

Tomorrow will be a new day in America  - Speaker Pelosi   8888crybaby
Checks and balances she says. 

Power checks were promised to me by the GOP.  The GOP didn't seem to have their hearts in it. 

Thank God the American voters sent a clear and unambiguous message.

I'm holding my breath on CA-48.  Dana Rohrabacher is in trouble there.
