I believe that is the home district of the Son of a Mailman -- probably the #1 Anti-Trumper in the USA.
He still has a lot of power in that district ..... and is almost certain to primary President Trump in 2020.

Oh YEAH! The Famous BIG BLUE WAVE
Republicans have ZERO chance to hold the House and will probably LOSE the Senate.

Everyone needs to Remember - in Leftist Speak

A WIN is a LOSS (for Republicans) - we learned that with the Queen who failed to get her crown and we learned that lesson again tonight. A Win is a LOSS and anything less than that is just SPIN.

I'm still SPINNING the WIN and failed to be a LOSS in 2016.

I’m talking about this particular seat. Why are you going on a tangent about a different election

Only, its not spin.
I said it before counting even began-
"I hope Republicans win by 1% so it motivates them into a big voter turnout in November.
An easy win is the worst result for Republicans."

Whoa... organized labor unions get a landslide victory in Missouri: Right-to-work law was demolished 67-33. Anti-union Republicans really got smacked hard here. Could be that workers are getting fed up with stagnant wages while the 1% have been making money hand over fist.

I love how liberals keep spinning it as "It doesn't matter if he won, the race was close, you should be worried." A win is a win.

Its a mute point. Supreme Court already ruled on this so why waste time voting to keep it when the law of the land has already been laid down on it? LOL...

It shows a Pattern - Politics is an ugly game and it can't be taken for granted.
That said - it's NOT Horseshoes and close doesn't count except in Horseshoes.
No question that the Democrats outspent the Republicans and had a GREAT ground game.
90% is a huge turnout .... at this point, it wasn't enough. It will be weeks before we know the certified result.

Turnout for the GOP was 50% of general election while it was 90% for dems. The Left were really desperate for that win and got denied (at this point at least) - for whatever reason, 50% of the Republicans didn't vote (or may have voted in the mail in ballots (about 5,000 of them to be counted) or even in the 3,000 or so Provisonal Ballots.

Which ever way it goes after all the votes are counted (this isn't over YET) then a WIN is a WIN for this round and round 2 is in November with the same 2 Candidates.

It's really not worth all the Drama about a "WIN is really a LOSS" ... just as it wasn't worth it in 2016.
We have lived with almost 2 years of Hysterical Meltdown over that business and Normal People are FED-UP with the nonsense.
