Exactly how I felt about it. Like eh they took it back but lose 3 senate spots which makes any other scotus member dying/retiring not much of a fight tbh

i had him from +1 in senate to -3. im slightly surprised he gained 3 but not shocked.

the house flood is about what i expected, but its even a bit underwhelming considering the flood narrative was so strong.


that blue wave was serious.

The strongest headline for democrats was Beto losing to Ted Cruz. All of the democratic money and support couldn't even beat a very disliked Serial Killer.

SAD!

sometimes a loss is a win. the forced Ted to spend his partys money in texas, TEXAS. texas is generally just a fund raising behemoth for the rest of the country with 70% wins for the GOP across the board. Beto wasted money, from one perspective, but also had lesser candidates win at unthinkable levels for democrats and they rode his coattails big time.

i'd call it a draw, the dems didnt get a senator but they did get a viable candidate they desperately needed and forced Ted to open his wallet.

Agree’d. Robert, a Democrat, just barely lost to Raphael, in Texas. In fucking Texas. That’s definitely disheartening for the GOP.
