Sadly true.

Well it doesn't look like it will be the Red Tsunami so many wingnuts were bragging about 

 

Dems will likely still lose the house and even maybe the Senate, although I think they will hold on

 

If Georgia goes to a run-off, Walker won't win.

He was carried by the Kemp vote tonight 

 

And I think more important is a lot of the more extreme MAGA Republicans did not win

 

As a Democrat I'm fine with the Republicans winning the House by a small margin without electing a lot of the MAGA crazily scum

 

Hopefully Democrats look at crime and some of the over-the-top w*keness issues 

I don't count inflation. The whole world is experiencing inflation 

 

It looks like a very good outcome for Democrats in a historical sense of midterm elections 

 

And Biden will once again outperform all the recent past Presidents in the midterms

Republicans are insane to choose Trump over him

 

Trump is losing massive steam nationally 

 

DeSantis would have a huge chance of winning in 2024

 

 

While Trump is once again spreading election lies all night
