US PoliERA 2018 |OT11| The Hunt for Blue November

I honestly don't think that Trump has even thoroughly looked at the results from last night.
So, IF (and it is a fucking if) Sinema and Tester hold on, we are looking at 47-51 currently. Nelson and Scott are probably going to runoff recount which could flip for us and MS special election will probably land hard for R. I choose to be hopeful so best case, 48-52. Not ideal, but it would make the road to a 2020 majority much easier.

There's a good chance that any found votes will benefit Nelson more than Gilum due to split ticket racists.
This is for his cult. They will love him denying the truth to own the libs.
Imagine how it was for Obama after 2010. Like that.
Really curious how alternative universe President Rubio would've fared in these midterms without hyped up racists and outsized dem turnout. He also probably would've gotten more awful shit passed in Congress so who knows.
There are no runoffs.
If Scott is ahead after the recount, that's it.
I love that Jason Lewis' concession speech didn't mention his competitor, and instead he ended his speech by quoting Barry Goldwater
Jesus. I'm waiting for him to tell someone from the foreign press to "Learn to speak some real english, OK?"
Honestly I wonder if somebody explained to him what losing the House actually means. For all that the President isn't supposed to be an emperor, the GOP controlling everything meant he got to get a lot of what he wanted or was able to zoom in on an individual or two who wronged him (see: him still bitching about the McCain healthcare vote.)
So maybe Somebody had to explain to him today that his agenda is basically a non-starter in the House and the margin is large enough he won't be able to pick a person or two to pin it on.
He sort of hated having to pretend to govern before; finding out it just got worse is hopefully making his life hell.
Is a Gore-Bush 2.0 Supreme Court ruling coming?
Why does Florida always have to be so difficult?

With any hope his cult of racist personality would die with him and turnout would drop for the GOP.
Green Party should start a go fundme to challenge the election results, just in case.
This tweet was posted a few hours ago.
Wow. Gillum's camp now says the two candidates are only 15,000 votes apart which, if true, would trigger a recount and maybe we can get to the bottom of this.
2020 will change that thanks to Michigan voters approving nonpartisan redistricting:

It was always bullshit to drum up last minute votes. They could pass the tax cut right now, this afternoon, if they really wanted to.
We're still going with "How Nancy got her gavel back" I believe
Of course he would have done worse. Any republican would have. The ones that won did so by bowing to the cult of personality.
From an electoral standpoint Trump isn't the worst Republican. He's the best. They'd be lost without him and they even struggle hyping up rural turnout without him hand guiding them on how to do it.
Re: Gillum and exit polls
Those are exit polls. Notoriously unreliable. And how would they point to anything fishy? They aren't actual votes.

So 53-47 or 54-46, depending on Arizona. Probably the latter.
It sucks about losing those seats but this could also have been worse than GOP +3.
