Not enough liquor in the house...

We thought about it. But we also thought about waking up tomorrow and taking it all in in one big gulp - kind of like a giant tetanus shot.

So... dunno!

Lets not forget the governorships that are up for grabs. I think the dems do good there. I think the house falls to the dems and the republicans may pick up some senate seats.

How likely iz it that Putin shut down hiz wildly seksesful election interferens operation for the mid-termz? Or at least scaled it down to nearly nothing?

Wut if it wuz just much sneekyer? In the interest uv getting away with it, he didnt do anything to call attention to the rezults - just tweeked them in sum key rasez, just enuf to keep hiz puppet in the Oval Ofis.

In other wordz, he coud hav had the GoPs win every rase, completely taken over Congress and all the other offisez that were voted on, but that woud be so obvious that it woud fors action.

Insted, let the Demz take the house, but just enuf to keep from razing suspicion. Sum uv the Guvernorz rasez that were close, tweek them to put the GoP ahed by a small amount.

A solid stratejy.
Its wut I woud do.

Same here. Too much trouble for too little return - don't want to over extend, doesn't need to. 2020? With Trump suppressing voter security? Much better play.

---

Not as bad as you think. Our cyber security guys were tapping their cyber security guys on the shoulders in real time asking, hey guys what ya doing, as they were doing it, scaring the shit out of them causing them shut down.

I think it was the head of homeland security I was watching who said that. Maybe it was the head of the CIA? At any rate, it appears to have worked while showing the Russians that two can play at that game.

Had Trump been a different man – less self-consumed, less needy – he might have hedged his bets as the midterms neared and not have made the election about himself. He got the attention he craved and will pay the political price. His life is about to get more difficult.

Agreed

His agenda might encounter more difficulty than before, but now there is always someone else who the president can blame.

That's what they say. Still, Obama lost 1000 democratic seats across the country in 8 years. Trump gave a third of those back, three hundred and thirty three seats, in his first two years of service. The republicans got destroyed. I'm quoting an article below from December 2017.

Thanks Trump and by the way tick tock

"After years of strong gains in states across the country, Republicans now fear they stand to lose hundreds of state legislative seats in next year’s midterm elections if there is a significant voter backlash against President Trump."

I'm good man. I have been for a while now.

You're one of the goons screaming about everything here. "I'm so happy" you said about more Democrats winning. Well, the ball is in your court friend. Are they going to make your dreams come true, or are you at least going to stop bitching and moaning and calling everybody names now? Or is it just two more years of you being a static character?

Do Right, Be Right. :)

The gerrymanding did hold as both the Dakotas went red. There should have been two big blue spots on South Dakota but because of the Republicans denying Native Americans their right to vote there isn't.

It's sad Brenda but even sadder is our local trolls denying the truth of it all.

North Dakota joined the Union in November 1889 and has participated in all elections from 1892 onwards. Since 1900, North Dakota voted Democratic 17.24 percent of the time and Republican 82.76 percent of the time. Since 1968, the state has always voted Republican.

South Dakota is reliably Republican in presidential elections – only voting Democratic four times, most recently in 1964 when Lyndon Johnson won a landslide victory over Barry Goldwater. South Dakota is one of seven states with the minimum three electoral votes.
