Good grief. Stop with the party line already. The economy is booming in spite of Trump not because of him. He entered office with a 4% unemployment rate. He seem to forget that every time he speaks of it, however. Anyway, the races went pretty much as expected. House flipped to Democrats, and the GOP maintained control of the Senate. I'm looking forward to seeing Trump's tax returns
And what does the election and his returns have to do with anything? And exactly what you need his returns for?
The popular vote total is a stunning rebuke of Trump. It also validates the polls showing his popularity is pretty upside down. Just as important is the overwhelming blue vote in PA, WI, and MI - the midwest states that put Trump over on the electoral vote. He's got his work cut out for him there.
The turnout really was something, particularly among younger voters.
People can and will scoff, but if the huge number of unaffiliated voters continue to lean left and Trump continues to lose women, 2020 will not be a repeat of 2016.
It's interesting. They couldn't seem to admit Scott won in Florida last night even when it was obvious. Now they're doing the same thing with McSally in Arizona. I can understand not calling Mississippi or Montana yet, but at least call the ones that are obvious.
Looking very likely that the Republicans will be +5 in the Senate. Even with the obvious +3 it makes the 2018 mid-term a completely mixed message.
Feel free to ignore senate results if you wish. In the house, *every* seat was up for grabs. And as noted in the OP, dems out-voted reps by 9.2%.
That's not how it works, and not all of the seats were contested. For example, in California Feinstein (D) ran against another Democrat (de Leon), so it was (D) vs (D). There was no Republicans in that race.

You quoted a post of mine where I said it was OK to ignore the senate if you wanted, and then you go and tell me something about the senate.
The midterm elections are about a month away, but the Democrats have already nailed down 40 seats in the House of Representatives compared with the Republicans’ three, simply because no one from the other major party is competing for those seats.
