You would think with what happened for the past 2 years, Republicans were going to get killed with a supposed anti-trump wave. We have to see how much of the electorate turned out for the mid-terms since historically, people take the Presidential election much more seriously.
Senate: Rep in the lead with 50 and Dems 40. Need 51 to win.
House: Rep in the lead with 136, Dems 126. Need 218 to win.

Obviously they'd want it to go left, but Trump seems to have lost 15/20 points nationwide. I just watched Van Jones gloating about turnout for the left (who never turn out for midterms, btw.) Should I have my TV checked out?

As i mentioned earlier, we have to wait and see how much of the electorate turned out for the midterms and then we can do a comparison to see if there was a surge in dem and rep turnout compared to past elections.
One thing for sure, this astronomical blue wave did not happen. More like some beach water washing across your feet, it was pretty modest.
House: Dems closed the gap. Rep 157, Dems 156.
If you were to do a bit more digging, you will find that mid-term wins/losses follow the presidential job approval rating and national economic well being.EFFECTIC DESIGNS wrote:Same thing happened to Obama in his second term, it always happens like this.

Plus there are claims that there were a lot of voting machine and registration ploys by the GOP.

Florida voted to reinstate voting rights to ex cons (one of the few states that took it away without giving it back). A positive move which impacts over 1m persons. Really once you have served your time you shouldn't be punished in perpetuity i.e. never be allowed to vote again.
I was stunned to learn that that amendment would impact 40% of the adult black population in Florida.

Trump made sure to fire Sessions the VERY NEXT DAY (so subtle) and override ALL normal practice of the #2 guy taking the helm, to install a known sycophant, that was all over the media for MONTHS, calling for Mueller's investigation to be stopped. How convenient. Resigned my arse.
If anyone says they don't smell a cover-up, then I've got some more damaging Hillary emails to sell you. PM for details. Have cash ready.
