My TV's still off. So, how did we do?

[MrScorpio]

Gimme all the good, bad and ugly.

What are we looking at here?

[Skraxx]

1. Won the house

[MrScorpio]

5. Alright!!!!

[Politicub]

2. CNN just called the house for the dems!

[MrScorpio]

6. Oh, yeah!!!

[stage left]

3. It looks like

the Dems took the House. And my state, South Carolina, is still full of stupid people.

[MrScorpio]

8. That's the charm of South Cackalacka

But we got the HIZZOUSE!!!

[spooky3]

4. Dems have taken the House. The question now is just by how many

seats. 538 is predicting +35.

Gillum and Beto lost but it was VERY close in both cases.

Repubs will probably hold the Senate. Donnelly lost in IN, Heitkamp in ND, lost; but Repubs lost some races they were expected to win.

[MrScorpio]

14. Florida and Texas needs to prepare for the suck.

Donnelly and Heitkamp are out? Damn.

That House is looking good though.

[mtnsnake]

7. We're doing well but to read so many of the posts here, you'd think we lost everything. n/t

[MrScorpio]

15. I knew that it would be all bad news or all good news

We just have to take the good with the bad.

But since we're taking the House, let's make this a celebration.

[Polybius]

9. Won the House, but lost several close Senate races

We did great in the House, but it's very ugly in the Senate.

[MrScorpio]

16. Well, the Senate was a long shot

It'll be there in two more.

Bur we got the HOUSE!

[durablend]

10. And PA kept the two big nightmares away...

That's something at least.

[MrScorpio]

17. We'll take what we can get

[GoCubsGo]

11. On top of taking back the House, the Dems have regained some governorships.

The biggest was Kansas, but also IL, MI, and NM.

[MrScorpio]

20. Loving it!

About time Kansas woke up.

Yay, Gretchen!

[GoCubsGo]

28. And, YAY, Sharice!!!!

They also flipped a House seat to Sharice Davids, the kickboxing Native American liberal lesbian!

[meow2u3]

12. 20 House flips down, 3 to go to take back the House

[MrScorpio]

21. Looking good!

[No Vested Interest]

13. And Dems are doing very well in taking governorships - very important in the big

picture!!

[MrScorpio]

22. Extremely huge indeed!

[TlalocW]

18. THE COUNTRY'S IN FLAMES! ENGLAND HAS RE-INVADED AND TAKEN PARTS OF NEW YORK AND JERSEY!

That caravan in Mexico? They're all on Segway Scooters and will be here by noon tomorrow! Several smaller, poorer nations around the world now have first-strike nuclear-capability and have tweeted the president, "Who's a shithole country now, biznatch?" EVERYTHING IS DOOMED! DOOOOOOOOMED!

TlalocW

[MrScorpio]

23. Are dogs and cats sleeping together?

[TlalocW]

26. Wait until you hear about the Twinkie

eom

TlalocW

[displacedtexan]

34. Mass hysteria!

But we can send Kobach a nice fruit basket.

[joshcryer]

19. We got the House back.

Trump's tax returns are about to be public knowledge.

[MrScorpio]

25. Yes, they are.

Subpoena power, baby!

[Barack_America]

24. Well, Michigan is experiencing a true Blue Wave.

Whitmer, Stabenow, weed, death of gerrymandering and increased voting rights...

[MrScorpio]

27. About freakin' time!

[Honeycombe8]

29. The bad: We lost governorships of both Ohio & FL, two key states for the Presidential election.

They say Republicans can't win the Presidency w/o either Ohio or Florida. They have to win at least one of them. So that's a bummer, since we were so close.

Senate: Republicans picked up two states: Indiana, North Dakota.

The good:

We flipped three governorships so far: Michigan, Illinois, Kansas. Governor races aren't finished & called yet, tho.

We won the House. Could be as many as 35 seats we flipped.



The west part of the U.S. is still being counted.

[MrScorpio]

31. Looks like we're coming out ahead though

[Honeycombe8]

33. We're definitely better off than before the election.

We also now have subpoena power & control the money.

[femmedem]

32. Here in Connecticut, the Republican candidate for governor is up 4% with 38% reporting.

He's like a low key Trump: same bad policies but in a deceptively calm, almost reassuring tone of voice. He promised to eliminate the income tax here over four years without any explanation of what he would cut except "waste."


On the other hand, Democrats here will control the legislature. Previously our state senate was evenly split. I'm hoping this will limit the damage a Republican governor will do, if he wins.

[femmedem]

35. Woo hoo! I went to bed bummed about CT Gov, but it looks like the cities pulled him through

and the Dems are doing great in the state legislature.

[grantcart]

36. going to bed with 3 Senate seats almost tied but we are behind a few MT FL AZ

I would be very grateful if you could have them cleaned up when I get up

[JonLP24]

37. Lost a lot of close races

But overall took the House with 9+% of the popular vote.
