All in all a GOOD night for Dems! We have THE HOUSE!!! And won MANY other important races!
Yes, some disappointments. What's the lesson? VOTE! Still TOO MANY PEOPLE NOT VOTING.
But look, the R's lost the US House, a number of governorships including that rotten thing Scott Walker in Wisconsin, and many legislative seats and local races.
In my state of Maine, state government is now ALL BLUE!
The national US House popular vote is Dems by 7 to 9 points.
*** Now remember, this was the worst US Senate map for Democrats in many decades with SO many seats to defend in red areas. Everyone knows we were never gonna regain the Senate this cycle and the R's would probably even peel off some seats. And yes, Trump is effective in ginning up his red hat base with his rants about non-existent invasions.
But this election was nothing for R's to be cheering about. There is now a serious check and balance on the unhinged looney toon who is Trump.
Dems did great in WI, MI, and PA, key states going into 2020.
LOTS of good news. But the main lesson is EVERYONE needs to VOTE. Still too many of OUR voters staying at home. It is BULLSHIT.
