Since we're making up popular votes that don't actually exist, shouldn't we look at much lower races nationwide to see if their popular votes lean towards dems? What other popular votes can we create to give democrats false hope for 2020?
I see you are still working through the tremendous loss of the house. It may take a while for you to process it all.

6 - 12 months ago I fully expected a ~65 seat loss in the House and a ~7 seat loss in the Senate giving Dems full control of Congress along with a sweep of State governorships. I live in Texas and had to mull over the idea of Beto winning. I expected Kavanaugh to be Trump's last SCOTUS appointment... hell last judicial appointment ever for that matter.
It indeed will take a while for me to process what took place during the midterms, I'm still shocked at what happened in FL and ATL. Considering the hype around these midterms and what was "supposed" to happen, I'm downright happy and you fools sound ignorant as hell trying to project this BS onto me when we all know you fully expected these midterms to be a whole lot worse for Republicans.
Dems have been talking about this massive inevitable blue wave for most of 2018 and you lost ground in the Senate.

Uh huh, sure. You'd be the only person in the world to have expected that.
Not remotely to the degree you just described. Nobody in the world except maybe you thought the democrats would GAIN 7 seats in the senate, and almost nobody in the world except you thought the democrats would gain 65 seats in the house. Basically you just made up the numbers in your reply to Ringo1 in a transparently fake attempt to make it look like you were relieved at the results rather than disappointed.

I am relieved, I think it's pretty evident that most conservatives like myself are quite relieved that dems only gained control of the lower house of Congress. Things could have been disastrous at best but baseless, retaliatory impeachment of the President has basically been taken off the table and he's still easily able to appoint judges to the bench.
But hey just ignore all that, ignore what I'm saying, act as if I'm not even replying to you and just make more ignorant statements about me coping with a crushing loss, just ignore all logic and say what makes you feel better.
Are you telling me, you took all this time to try and find an article that actually backed up your claim, and the best you could do was a Vanity Fair article where they quote FiveThirtyEight and their highest prediction is a Democratic gain of 35 seats ?????????????????
Quote:
he best macro-analysis of whether Democrats will take back the House comes from national polling models developed by outfits like FiveThirtyEight, which currently shows Democrats with an 81.8 percent chance of winning the House. They need to pick up 23 seats to do so. But Micah Cohen, the managing editor of FiveThirtyEight, said that while their analysis could indicate a blue wave, “the data also suggests that Dems could gain a dozen or so seats and that would also be in line with the data.”

The safest thing to say is that Democrats might take the House, and they probably won’t take the Senate.

You're joking right? The media has been pushing the idea of a massive blue wave for a year or more now, we've seen the left talk about it here daily.
