    So let me get this straight, when Dems gain 30 House, 6 Governorships, and 5 Senate seats and beat the GOP by 5.4 % that is clearly and unequivocally considered a wave.

    But when Dems win 30 House seats with a very good chance of getting upper 30's and as many as 41, 7 Governorships for sure and maybe 9, 317 districts that swung left from only 2 years ago including 171 Republican districts, a 6.7 % Popular vote % and almost 7 million more voters, when they win historically Republican districts that have never voted Democrat since Jim Crow was repealed, when they come within a razor's edge of winning Texas and Georgia that doesn't matter because the Republicans kept the Senate. In the most disadvantageous map that any party has ever faced. Because they won the Senate in states that voted Trump anywhere from 15 % to 45 %. Yea cool story bro.

    Oh BTW Sinema is winning Arizona and Nelson will win his recount as well. So no wave because Republicans increased their Senate majority by one seat while losing everything everywhere.

    However, my personal feelings don't matter.  It was easy to see Democrats would likely win the House based on a couple of things that everyone dismissed before.  They didn't consider whether it mattered if Congress ever checks Trump.  The public watched Republicans allow Trump do whatever he wanted, no matter what, all of the time.  I believe roughly 50% of Republicans polled would support Trump being a king.  Now think about how the other voters feel about it.  They don't like it.  They want a system of checks and balances, geniuses.  The second problem Republicans have is that they purged moderates from their party.  I think this is something they can't fix, by the way.  They refuse to vote for any Republican who considers compromising and as a result, they will only elect hardliners in their primaries who are polarizing and aggressive.  They don't want meek politicians who cave in easily.  That's great.  I honestly believe they have the right to feel that way.  However, it's extremely hard to win in competitive districts with those candidates.





    I'm going to use the same example I posted on an article the other day.  Charlie Dent left office.  He's a reasonable Republican I'd actually vote for and you need to understand that I really won't vote for too many Republicans.  There are other Americans who probably would do the same thing.  They just can't do it now that Republicans aren't offering them any.  I believe the Republicans are too stubborn to admit they're wrong and to consider rebranding the party.  Personally, I think it's great because the Democrats have a better playing field in 2020 and the Republicans are going to double down.   They need to learn a lesson and it'll temporarily give Democrats power.  I said multiple times on articles that Republicans would actually be damaging themselves and that Democrats still don't know how to strategize well.  They did this to themselves.  I see Republicans as loudmouths who can't shut the hell up for one day and need to insert their opinions into every conversation.  They think that the 2016 election results now validate every moronic thought stewing inside their heads.  That's why you see so many of them commenting on articles in the first place.  They're so smart and right about everything and want everyone to know.  The silent majority.  Ha!  I happen to feel they sound like crass animals and many of them lie incessantly.  It has forced me to win debates on articles to show the public why Republicans can't be trusted.  I'd give myself a fairly great record mainly due to the majority of them just clicking thumbs down or insulting me.  It's rare any of them display intellect or the ability to articulate.  I recall mentioning on here how I didn't trust them on immigration.  So I pointed out I saw the other day that the application process to become a legal citizen has now been delayed up to a year and a half longer for no actual logistical reason.  Republicans just want to make it harder for any immigrant to become a citizen.  I knew I was right. 

     Very well said, and i can't agree with you more. Republican party has become the party of Donald J Trump, which turns into a party of resentment, anti-immigrant, anti-minorities, anti medicare/social security/medicaid... and in favor of super rich. I used to vote for many GOP candidates, but I chose not to in this midterms. The Dem that i flipped for in my district has won. 

    Like you, i would vote for a GOP such as Charlie Dent or John Kasich. How could Donald J Trump publicly dance on the graves on the the GOP candidates, such as Carlos Curbelo, Mike Coffman, Mia Love..., who did not embrace him and lose in this election? Only pettiness, hatred and lack of empathy can explain a man like that.

    However, my personal feelings don't matter.  It was easy to see Democrats would likely win the House based on a couple of things that everyone dismissed before.  They didn't consider whether it mattered if Congress ever checks Trump.  The public watched Republicans allow Trump do whatever he wanted, no matter what, all of the time.  I believe roughly 50% of Republicans polled would support Trump being a king.  Now think about how the other voters feel about it.  They don't like it.  They want a system of checks and balances, geniuses.  The second problem Republicans have is that they purged moderates from their party.  I think this is something they can't fix, by the way.  They refuse to vote for any Republican who considers compromising and as a result, they will only elect hardliners in their primaries who are polarizing and aggressive.  They don't want meek politicians who cave in easily.  That's great.  I honestly believe they have the right to feel that way.  However, it's extremely hard to win in competitive districts with those candidates.





    I'm going to use the same example I posted on an article the other day.  Charlie Dent left office.  He's a reasonable Republican I'd actually vote for and you need to understand that I really won't vote for too many Republicans.  There are other Americans who probably would do the same thing.  They just can't do it now that Republicans aren't offering them any.  I believe the Republicans are too stubborn to admit they're wrong and to consider rebranding the party.  Personally, I think it's great because the Democrats have a better playing field in 2020 and the Republicans are going to double down.   They need to learn a lesson and it'll temporarily give Democrats power.  I said multiple times on articles that Republicans would actually be damaging themselves and that Democrats still don't know how to strategize well.  They did this to themselves.  I see Republicans as loudmouths who can't shut the hell up for one day and need to insert their opinions into every conversation.  They think that the 2016 election results now validate every moronic thought stewing inside their heads.  That's why you see so many of them commenting on articles in the first place.  They're so smart and right about everything and want everyone to know.  The silent majority.  Ha!  I happen to feel they sound like crass animals and many of them lie incessantly.  It has forced me to win debates on articles to show the public why Republicans can't be trusted.  I'd give myself a fairly great record mainly due to the majority of them just clicking thumbs down or insulting me.  It's rare any of them display intellect or the ability to articulate.  I recall mentioning on here how I didn't trust them on immigration.  So I pointed out I saw the other day that the application process to become a legal citizen has now been delayed up to a year and a half longer for no actual logistical reason.  Republicans just want to make it harder for any immigrant to become a citizen.  I knew I was right. 

     Very well said, and i can't agree with you more. Republican party has become the party of Donald J Trump, which turns into a party of resentment, anti-immigrant, anti-minorities, anti medicare/social security/medicaid... and in favor of super rich. I used to vote for many GOP candidates, but I chose not to in this midterms. The Dem that i flipped for in my district has won. 

    Like you, i would vote for a GOP such as Charlie Dent or John Kasich. How could Donald J Trump publicly dance on the graves on the the GOP candidates, such as Carlos Curbelo, Mike Coffman, Mia Love..., who did not embrace him and lose in this election? Only pettiness, hatred and lack of empathy can explain a man like that.

    There's no need to read the article because I wasn't questioning you on it's content nor saying that you were wrong about anything. I'm asking, in your opinion, why shouldn't be harder to become a US citizen? Why shouldn't it take longer? As I have said many times, membership has it's advantages but it doesn't come easy. Nor should it.


    Well, technically the onus is really on the current administration to explain what facilitated the change.  They need to provide an explantion that justifies why it took place.  My opinion is a rebuttal to what I'm given.   In this particular case they didn't even give a defense or argument that necessitated it.  I'm a person who likes reasoning behind decisions, even if I don't happen to like what I'm told.  Anyway, I'd normally answer you directly but this subject has parameters.  I don't know what time limit you consider to be too short and what would constitute as being too long. 


    Before this was instituted, I believe that it still took several years on average for someone to become a legal citizen and could be costly for some as well.   You only have a limited number of people being approved every year to become citizens, too.  They aren't flooding the country like illegal immigrants are doing at times.  These immigrants typically contribute to the U.S. and sometimes in professions that lack enough American workers.  You can tell me Americans should fill those jobs and yeah, you're probably right.  The problem is I've seen comments on articles from what I presume are employers talking about how there's a lack of skilled workers for the jobs available.  So these immigrants fill a need and make America great by excelling in their fields. 


    I think the process should be streamlined and take about 2 or 3 years max.  It shouldn't really be any longer than that if these people are qualified and pass a citizenship test.  Why do you feel it should be otherwise?

    Battleground states are now nearly all. Texas barely reelected Ted Cruz.  Tennessee and other side Nevada and Arizona barely declared a winner. Almost equal numbers with polar opposites views living in the same state it is a cause for concern.

    Didn't Donald J Trump say that election was rigged in the 2016 campaign? And Trump got elected in a rigged election? Well, he never mentioned the rigged stuff after he got elected to the POTUS.

    It at least interesting to see how an incumbent loses a district took redistricting a change in the law and a federal Judge but the Marine Golden actually looks to win this.

    I live in Canada and just found two Broward County mail in ballots in my box of Cheerios this morning! At first i thought they were hockey cards. I didnt know who to call to report the find, decided Oprah probably best person to handle it, she referred me to Onward Together. Two men in black just picked them up.

    Democrats have swept the once ruby red Orange County (OC) of California in the U.S. House race, Dems clean 7 House seats in OC from Republicans after Young Kim (R) concealed to Gil Cisneros (D) in Cali. 39th Congressional District. 

    Republicans just got steamrolled by the Democrats in once ruby red territory. This is the first time GOP got shut out in OC since the Great Depression.
