He also said that immigration was not an issue they would waste time on. Called it an executive branch issue.
"but - the crisis at the border!"
I saw that shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!

Putin Loses Control of the House
MOSCOW —Calling it “the biggest disappointment of my political career,”
Vladimir Putin conceded late Tuesday night that he had lost control of the United States House of Representatives.
Putin made his concession speech from the Kremlin, where he congratulated the Democrats for waging a “tough fight.”
“Maybe if Facebook and Twitter hadn’t banned so many of my fake accounts, the results would have been different,”
Putin said.
“But I don’t want to make excuses—I threw everything I had at these races, and I lost.”
Putin did, however, have harsh words for Donald Trump,
who opted for a fear-mongering closing argument about immigration
despite the Russian President’s objections.
“I warned him that that would kill us in the suburbs, and he ignored me,” Putin said.
“I hope this teaches him never to disobey my orders again.”

1966 and 1970 were Vietnam War years, so Trash is as hated as the Vietnam war.

The NYT currently projects a national popular-vote margin of D+9.2%.
The largest popular margin since 2008, larger than waves of 1994, 2006, 2010, 2014.
1994: R+7.1%
2006: D+8.0%
2008: D+10.6%
2010: R+7.2%
2014: R+5.7%
By historical standards, this a popular wave.

The GOP will have 54 senate seats assuming the most likely remaining scenario that Tester wins Montana, Scott wins the recount in Florida, and McSally takes Arizona. Let's look at 2020: the Democrats will almost certainly lose Doug Jones' seat in 2020. So that puts them at -8. They'll probably be able to pick up Gardner's seat in Colorado, so they're -6. The only other two flips that really look possible are Ernst in Iowa and Tillis in North Carolina. So let's go best case and assume they get both. Now they're -2. So these losses last night were absolutely devastating, especially Florida and Indiana which were polling well for Democrats.
Even if the Democrats win the presidency in 2020 the GOP will control the senate and thus will block any supreme court nominations. And the Democrats winning the 2020 presidency looks really shaky right now. Last night's election should scare the out of Democrat voters. Even in an election with high enthusiasm Trump was able to turn his base out in enough numbers to again outperform the polls pretty strongly. Nelson, Donnelly, Sinema, McCaskill were all favorites yesterday morning and they're all losers this morning. Trump is going to be really hard to beat in 2020, especially if the Democrats nominate someone like Booker, Harris, Newsom, Klobuchar, or Warren that won't excite the base. I think it's Beto or Bernie or bust in 2020 because Beto and Bernie are the only people who can get young people excited and to the polls like Obama did.
Sam Wang lmao. Havent seen him since he was touting his princeton math professor degrees and bragging about his model that showed Clinton had a 99.6% chance of winning lol
Senate was never up for grabs. Trump had a decent economy and still lost the House and quite a few governorships. Almost everyone he endorsed lost
the Kavanaugh issue cost the Dems in the senate. That was really close to the midterms too
"the GOP will control the senate and thus will block any supreme court nominations."
... will also block ANY progressive bills, problem-solving bills, America-advancing bills that escape House
Pootin, immigrants, ISIS aren't as dangerous, aren't actually DESTRUCTIVE to USA as the oligarchy, Repugs, and the farcical 5-4 SCOTUS and Federal judiciary.
America is truly it's own worst enemy, even suicidal.

whatttt
No the senate wasn't up for grabs. But winning one of Florida, Arizona, Indiana, and Missouri would have given them a shot at 2020 senate control and winning two would have probably made them favorites for 2020, and the Democrats were favored in all four states. 54-46 is a much tougher hill to climb than 52-48 would have been, and it still may go 55-45 if the late reporting vote doesn't push Tester over the top. Last night was a bitter loss to see the 2020 senate map go from looking good to looking like a huge longshot.Senate was never up for grabs.

Hard to disagree with any of this. Trump came just at the right time and reaping all the benefits of the rage in this country. I also thought Obama campaining didn't help. The dude has turned out to be a get out of the vote for republicans, not democrats. Just as toxic as Hillary at this point.
But I would point out a little error on your post regarding the Alabama seat. Doug Jones is there until 2022.
Trump is funny as . A total s but he has them jokes.
That Obama take is horse . Rs will demonize any well known democrat at this point tbh. The solution isnt just to have unknown people everywhere
They hate Obama just as much as they hate Hillary. It's not horse , it's right.
Nah it’s 2020. Sessions was re-elected in 2014. It’s his seat.
Obama only campaigned where he wasn't toxic. There's a reason he didn't stump in Texas for Beto. Sure, Fox News is going to make his campaigning in Georgia a national issue but they would have found something else to fill time with if he hadn't. I don't think he motivated the white GA (or national) vote more substantially than he motivated the liberal vote in the areas where he campaigned. It's only too bad he didn't start earlier so he could have gotten more voters registered.
Lol Trump flipping out on live tv
Oh ok. I thought Sessions was up in 2016.
Unhinged. Stupid. Lying.
Sessions got his handed to him. Rohrbacher also got his genitals.
Democratic 'blue wave' makes landfall in Texas House, flipping 12 red seats across the state
The "bathroom bill" was ing stupid, and he paid the price for that.In an upset, Democratic challenger Mic e Beckley defeated in bent Republican Ron Simmons, the author of the House version of the bathroom bill during last year's legislative session. The district, covering Carrollton and Lewisville, is traditionally a conservative stronghold.
