Democrats win one half of the two chambers of Congress and this is painted as a bad night for us?

[BlueStater]

Ridiculous.

[Codeine]

1. I'm watching MSNBC and it's not coming off

as a bad night at all. We had a shitty opening hand with that Florida bullshit but we’re doing well now and the energy on camera reflects that.

[NYC Liberal]

2. When Republicans won the House in 2010, Obama's presidency was finished, the Democratic Party was

dead...etc.

When Democrats win, it’s called a loss.

So ridiculous.

3. Not a bad night. But Florida and Georgia are huge disappointments.

I never expected us to take back control of the Senate, but I was hoping we could keep it 51-49.

[GoCubsGo]

5. I hope both are contested.

There is certainly reason to do so in Georgia.

[Garrett78]

8. I hope so. But there's this "take the high road" tendency.

[GoCubsGo]

11. I understand that the NAACP already has geared up for a lawsuit in Georgia.

They correctly anticipated a ratfucking weeks ago. I hope they follow through with the threats they made, and also do the same in Florida.

4. I'm in Florida

So yes. Bad night. We've picked the president every year since 1996. That does not portend well.

[BlueStater]

14. I'm in Florida too and, yeah, it fucking hurts. A lot.

I despise Rick Scott. I have since he first slithered on the scene eight years ago.

That being said, I also got to see some godawful human beings like Kris Kobach and Corey Stewart lose tonight. I'm taking the good with the bad here.

15. I was worried about Fla since seeing the Trump approval exit polls late this afternoon

The numbers showed him + in approval, over 50%, in Florida, though negative everywhere else.

6. On CNN, they are again talking about the Blue Wave as House seats flip to us.

[BlueStater]

13. I wish we had done better in the Senate, but the make-up was always against us.

2020 should be much better, as the byproducts of the Republican wave of 2014 will be on the ballots.

[agingdem]

9. We may have gotten a little greedy..

we've got the House...2020 the Senate and the White House...for right now we have what we need...the Senate can introduce all the right wing crap they want...none of it will pass the House...let the investigations begin!

[BeckyDem]

10. We are in a BETTER positon than two years ago. BETTER is VERY GOOD.

Don't let people bring you down.

[BlueStater]

16. All I can say is that I feel MUCH better tonight than I ever did in 2010, 2014, and 2016.

Compared to the disappointments of those nights, this is absolutely nothing.

I think if Florida hadn't continued its long, ugly devolution into red state hell, the mood here would be much better. That was the most painful blow tonight above anything else.

[BeckyDem]

17. +1 I am heart broken over Florida. UGH

But that doesn't change anything I said.

[BeckyDem]

18. Lets not forget that grassroots activism brought us so close in Texas and Florida.

Think about the odds in those states. We are going to get more of them thrown out in 2020.

[Demovictory9]

12. expectations grew day by day until it was predicted Dems could win the universe. lol
