Dems really need to shift out of the fringe issues and start getting a candidate groomed that wants to help a majority of people instead of these fraction of a percentage of the population issues.
Looks like Montana went blue, so potential pickup of 4 depending on Arizona.
TwoScoopsOfSpaceForce saysFor posterity:
So, let's recap. As I tried to tell all of you, Nate was almost perfect. Dems are expected to win 38 seats when all is said and done and votes are done counting in CA.
The RCP polling average is going to be pretty damn close as well with Dems +7 or +7.5
My favorite--GA6 went to Dems this go around. Just needed a better candidate than Ossoff.
And as I tried to tell McGee--Republicans have lost suburban soccer Moms for a long time. Dems consistently won all types of suburban districts.
Typically, the party out of power wins in the midterms because the other party doesn't show up to vote. in 2018, Trump got his base out and they voted. But he has alienated so many ...
Dems have now gained 40 seats, more than almost anyone predicted. Dem House candidates will end up with almost as many votes in a mid-term election as Trump received in a Presidential year. And ended up +8. It was a complete rout.
So, while I'm certain Goran's mind wasn't changed, there is no doubt it was a blue wave.
White Men
Trump is going to be re-elected in 2020, and the House will swing back like it did in 2010. IF the Republican State legislatures crack down on Fraud and Illegal Voting. If not, we will be swamped by an Elitist-Third World alliance that will destroy the American Dream forever, and blame it all on White Men.
Long term I think Trump will be great for the Democratic party, but short term it really hurts the country.God save us. I'm embarrassed for humanity when people truly believe socialistic ideals are the way to go. We're slowly killing the human race.
roads private, close public schools, close the post office, disband fire, police and the military all socialistic idealsThese aren't socialism, they're called infrastructure and public services, funded through taxation, common to every municipality. The only exception is public schools, a perfect microcosm of what the Soviet Union would have created and funded. And yes, in virtually every instance with the schools, private outperforms public.
Sad. You must be so proud.

I’m generally happy.
Election is over. We were both off the mark. But still no blue wave.
No blue wave? Lol, did you welch on your bet again?

Yesterday former Bill Clinton advisor Dick Morris told radio host on New York's AM 970 that he believes the "blue wave" that Democrats are expecting to give them back the Senate and House will not materialize, and polling has backed him up.
Last week, CNN's mid term poll showed that Democrats only had a 3 point advantage, well within the margin of error, and considering that CNN is known for "oversampling" Democrats in its own polls, this is troubling for the DNC.
Additionally, a recent poll from Reuters (left leaning) has shown that Millennials are leaving the Democrat party in droves. Democrat membership in the 18-34 demographic (the bread and butter of the DNC) dropped 9% over the past 2 years, most of them becoming "independents".
"I think that [Democrats] see fool’s gold in these scandals," Morris said. "They’re putting everything behind the Stormy Daniels scandal and Michael Cohen … and the country doesn’t give a damn."
That's when Morris dropped his prediction.
"There is no blue wave coming," Morris exclaimed. "There is a red wave. And what makes it red is the blood of the Democratic Party."
Here's my official take. I believe the GOP will LOSE seats in the house but will not give it up to the DNC. I believe the GOP will GAIN seats in the senate, keeping their majority. This will mean that Trump will have both houses of congress for his entire term.
