Election week: Blue wave or blue balls? (Politics)

I was in AZ yesterday and Maricopa voting was a disaster. There we all sorts of problems. To the credit of the responsible state official they went to great lengths to get things situated.

Trump talks about the "mid-town" elections.

Said that they did better then expected despite the hostile media doing horrible things.

As I predicted, lazily, his candidate won. Without him there could have been a BluWave.

Anyway.

Montana has Tester up by 0.24% at the moment. Ugh.

He has to die soon. He's out of breath talking and standing.

Remaining areas are blue. He should be fine.

Holy shit.

He's listing people that told him not to campaign for him and lost. People are laughing as he says Sorry, Mia Love.

Sorry Mia Love... no love... sorry.

Its pretty bananas what he is saying about GOP losers.

I did not hear him mention Scott Walker, guess I missed that one.

Now he's talking about how he is basically happy the Republicans lost the house because he can finally pass stuff. Hard to get stuff even out of the Republican committees because all these different people wanted things.

I lasted about three minutes but could not listen to his babbling (and air sipping) any longer.

There were a lot of early Arizona ballots that got dropped off late. Don't think we will reach a conclusion until tomorrow.

The breathing thing is so so gross.

1. Taking the house is good
a. Taking it by 9.2% is very good

2. Tea leaves into 2020 are very hard because so much can happen in the
a. economy
b. mueller investigation
c. house probes
That said, run a charismatic dude at the top of the ticket, and dems probably win.

3. No matter what happens in 2020, taking the Senate back will likely be impossible. The Senate will continue to be a huge problem for democrats and not one that is easily solvable. I shudder to think about a 53-47 R Senate with a D house/presidency. Hello constitutional crisis.

4. Trumpism took a deeper hold yesterday and that is frightening.

There are at least four red seats in the Senate that should be flipped in 2020 if the Dems win back the White House.

I think worst case, assuming Tester and McSally win and it is 54-46 heading into '20, you are looking at a 50-50 situation with the Dem VP having the tie-breaking vote.

Man, Trump is dumb as rocks.

by **CalvinBall** » Wed Nov 07, 2018 13:26:48

Man this is falling apart. Holy shit.

An Upper Providence Delco BLUE WAVE

Casey over Lou, 155k to 80k
Wolf over Wanger, 159k to 77k

Scanlon over Kim in the US 7th, Meehan's former seat. Republican held for 28 out of the last 32 years.
Kearney over McGarrigle in the PA 26th Senate - First Dem since 1978
Seale over Quinn in the PA 168th House - First Dem EVER

28 of the 31 incumbent Rs in the House he endorsed ended up losing. He meant for that to happen!
