For the first time Joe Biden looked Presidential. He's been working out.

50.3 to 49.7 red wins the fla Senate.

We could see more of that in the next race for Pres.

And now it begins, the race to see EVERYTHING uncovered by Mueller.

And if it was on the Internet, it was copied, four times before it hit the electronic dead drop in Pa. They decrypted all of that by now.

I bet they know everything except for the stuff they really kept between themselves. And by now, they know most of that.

Can they Impeach the Donald before the election begins in earnest.

Nixon got himself reelected before he resigned.

The race is on.

In other news the late breaking blue Senate polls were a fake out.

I will take my House of Representatives cake and eat more than my share.

Bring on the House impeachment Committee.

so tester is down by about 4k. If the remaining counties (not counting Park County) continue at the present percentages, tester will pick up about 5500, slightly passing the GOP dude. But Park County hasn't reported any results and it went for Trump over Clinton by about 1500. So this is pretty much a dead heat and it will probably be a win for someone by under 1000 votes. If there's a recount, that would favor tester, so I'm optimistic, but it would suck to lose tester. He went up against trump and trump doesn't like him, so it wouldn't surprise me if he lost. Trump went out there to rile up the troops.

Remaining "too close to call."

The Senate race in Montana
The Senate race in Florida
The Senate Race in Arizona
The Georgia gubernatorial race
The Connecticut gubernatorial race

That is a pretty disappointing list as I had clear favorites in the first 4. I guess I should always expect FL to disappoint.

King sticking in Iowa is vile. I guess he was right when he said he represents most Iowaian’s views.

The all felon team of Hunter Douglas and Chris Collins win. That is crazy. I know all along Douglas was projected, but why?

Tester is down by 1400 with 4 counties not completely reported. He's leading in all 4 of those counties, so my guess is he'll make up that deficit. Either way, I think there will be a recount, assuming Montana has a rule that <1% win leads to an automatic recount.

What's the split at?

The split in the Senate was 33-16 R; there's at least 5 pickups so it'll now be 29-21.

Blue and red make purple.

It was a blue and red wave.

Senate 55- 45
House more for the blue guys.

No doubt this puts the Donald at risk. He cannot fire Rosenstein or Mueller, and the house will vote to have Mueller report to them or work for them if necessary.

And so directly on the exit of the Donald from the WH he should get an orange jump suit, or a pardon for money laundering.

There will be no skating into the 2020 election for the Donald and company.

The Donald Did win in the Senate.

The massive evidence against Trump will prevail however and the Senate will convict.

Senate is so impossibly hard to win. The geography of the whole thing is defeating.

Well by 2020 more of these rural voters will be dead, so maybe we will have a shot.

Pretty awesome.

Won back 333 seats in state legislatures, flipped a bunch of houses and governorships (think 7 each).

The Richard Cordray loss in Ohio really stings. His opponent will be there to stay.

It was a nice surprise considering the R running as a state rep served as a Doylestown borough councilman. He voted against a ban on conversion therapy for kids, so fuck that guy. Glad he lost.

Yeah. That and Florida, pal. Two important states towards electoral victory and they are getting redder and redder.

Also brilliant move by Schumer to bend over backwards to get Senators a few extra days on the trail in exchange for more Trump judges.

A gamble that didn’t pay off (I probably rationalized this before, if I did I was wrong and so was Chuck).
