That Beto freak lost more money in a senate race then any candidate has in history against a very unpopular Ted Cruz.

And the media is trying to spin that into some sort of great victory.

You're giving the edge to the fascists because you are one.

Heres the reality. 51 is already a majority. Unless you gain 60 in the Senate it's no difference at all.

Dems gainer the house. Trumps agenda is dead.

We gained governorships just in time for the census and redistricting along with several ballot measures against gerrymandering.

The states we picked up bode very well for 2020. When the Senate map also strongly favors Dems.

Dems won tonight and will continue too. Particularly as our demographics grow and yours decline.

We’re gonna have two years of CRs and Pelosi/Waters screeching. Basically, a standstill.

But Senate gains make up for all of that so when Ruthie finally takes that last nap in the dirt, we put another strong Conservative on the bench.

Change 2020 to 2010 and this is the EXACT shite that I was hearing 10 years ago.

Remind me...how long has it been since the Democrats had majority control in D.C.?

It's funny how you deny facts with non-substantive arguments. Trump won by a slim margin in a few states that all went blue today.

The Senate map favors Democrats by far as well.

Rest assured this has no resemblance to 2010 which was a midterm in your favor. Majority control will be in the hands of Democrats.

Also to those clapping their evil fascist hands at the prospect of owning the court with conservative activist judges intended to enforce your will on the majority. Look up court packing and expect it soon.

Means a lot actually.

In fact its worse than that. 2 senators represent the same population that 48 other senators represent.

That's mob rule. You just support it because it benefits the mob you want in power.

Additionally we have US territories with more population than several states with no representation at all.

Republicans won especially if the 3 races still open hour way . Democrats will be lucky to get senate backin 2024 at this point. That looks great for republicans winning the Supreme Court.

Democrats will retake the Senate in 2020 when the map favors them and the presidential favors them.

Republicans always benefit from turnout in midterms.

The court is a non-issue. Dems will pack the court.

Dems lost 63 House seats in Obama's first midterm, 13 in his second.

Dems lost 6 Senate seats in Obama's first midterm, 9 in his second.

In contrast, Dems look to have picked up 34- 35 House seats while LOSING anywhere between 3-5 Senate seats last night.

Any more "non--substantive" data that you'd like to read, Corky?

You seem to have no clue as to the purpose of the US Senate and it’s relation to the House.
