"If I were a Republican running for office in this country, I would be furious with Trump right now."

Trump just cost Republican candidates across the country millions of votes combined. Millions of Republicans that were intending to vote for the GOP all up and down the ticket will stay home because of last night. Not cult members, but the moderates, the moderates are who most of these Senate hopefuls were counting on.

Trump destroyed Reps up and down the ticket last night.

That said, 538 has tweaked their algo and is more conservative and likely more accurate.
The closer to Nov 3, the more accurate it gets too.

And, turnout was much, much lower than expected.

This is not 2016.
