However, this shows a very close race...either one of them sucks, but...and I can't believe I'm saying this - I'd rather Feinstein than deLeon:

Rather than leaving it blank, I held my nose and voted for Feinstein. The other is so far left, she's off the planet.

They can't win statewide elections.

Because Republicans never gerrmander....LOLOLOL.

I agree. McCaskill thought she could squeak through like she's done in the past.

Did anyone see Panama City county had like 200,000 less votes than 2016? LOL. Florida shouldn’t have even been as close as it was

Really all it shows, at least IMHO, going by all the bickering that the US is more divided than ever. Who's at fault for that.... well same answer as to who will claim victory in these elections. I'm so tired of Reps and Dems.......

It's quite clearly a victory for Democrats and a huge problem for Donald Trump.

He's enjoyed two years of sycophants in the House giving him a complete pass on everything he does. The days of zero accountability are over. Life is going to be much more difficult for the White House when it has to contend with representatives who are interested in exposing the truth rather than burying it.


The only silver lining for him is that the senate stays Republican so he's unlikely to actually face removal from office.

Sure. Meanwhile the (former) chairman of the House Rules Committee just went down in flames. And by 6%!

Actually the courts redrew the maps here in NC to make them more DNC Friendly. It's looking like 0 Democrat pickups. This after they spent a stunning $7M to win just one congressional district. That's 5X what the GOP spent. The TV adverts here in Charlotte were relentless on that one. Constant for the last 2 months.


By all rights that should have gone to the Democrat. 4 majority Black counties and suburban Charlotte.

Then there's a befuddled-looking Jake Tapper: A lot of Republicans who voted against the president....they are being defeated. Yup, Jake, they are!.

Democrats Heitkamp, Donnelly, and McCaskill, who voted against Kavanaugh, were all defeated, too. And Manchin, who voted FOR him, was re-elected.

It's good to drain the swamp.

Feinstein wins. She will probably die on the Senate floor when she goes.
