That was one of the positives. ALL the candidates supported by Hollywood celebrities like Obama, Oprah, and Taylor Swift LOST

More Supreme Court justices will be brutal to the Left. We already just got a guy who is now red-pilled because of the Dems schemes; one or two more and there will be a decades lock on the judiciary.

As for Brokaw and Jones being upset, sure, we would have loved to get a lot more, but that is how elections and horse races go. With the House win, we will be able to do a lot toward protecting Americans from the Republicans just doing whatever they want.

You can bet Donald Trump isn't smiling much this morning (not that he EVER smiles anyway).

Exactly. And to those who think strategically, the decades of service newly seated Constitutionalist Judges/Justices will now have in the Federal Courts, including SCOTUS, will FAR outlast 2 presidential terms (8 years).

Trump kept his eyes on the prize, and let the Dems wring their hands over winning the hogtied House (which will be smacked down by the Senate on any foolish legislation they might try to pass ). Smart man.

I'm sure he isn't. He's a lying shill who turned NBC News into the mess it is today and who sees it losing the ability to control the narrative. Only idiots believe them now.



Make no mistake about it. As much as they like to spin it otherwise, this was a very bad night for the Democrat party. They blew everything they had, and basically managed to put Nancy Pelosi back in front of the camera for the next two years.



It's a gift to Trump. He can get anyone he wants confirmed for the Senate, and he's got Pelosi and Waters, instead of the hapless Ryan to use as punching bags now.

EH I think Dems lose this. While they're trying to subpeana Donald's old McDonald's receipts with the House

Trump will just Executive Order everything and he will be supported by the judiciary for the next 2 years.

Plus the economy will continue to roar and boom in his favor.

Arbrams, O Rourke and Gillim all lost. --That's the Dems big loss right there. They were the future.

Now they're back to courting the fossils of the party with Warren, Biden, Sanders, Bloomberg and other depression era candidates.

There were many more candidates who benefited from Trump's support than those who didn't, more Senate pickups, and a clear defeat delivered to Heitkamp, Donnelly, and McCaskill, all of whom voted against Kavanaugh.

Brokaw's not alone in foreseeing the Assembly clown show, while Trump continues to appoint more conservative judges (beyond possibly nominating SCOTUS picks) to have them handily confirmed by the Senate, and continues governing without them. Even CNN's Van Jones is "heartbroken."

Good times.
CNN's resident Communist is "Heartbroken" how sad
