MA, NJ and MD called for Clinton, TN and OK called for trump. Expected.

Two more senators picked up in Blumenthall and Vanhollen, to the Repubs Lankford.

Still a rollercoaster.

FAUXTON: Jun 2, 2005; spero che tu stia bene

Imagine an election where California went red. Know how CA is a big chunk of electoral votes but reliable as hell for the Dems?

Texas is the GOP's California. If it goes blue this year it means that the GOP is hosed on a generational scale. Trump may be a historically bad candidate but him losing means Latinx voters are a bloc that is presumably lost to the GOP forever and they don't have enough crackers to close that gap for much longer.

I know personally I would have felt safe to write in Bernie / vote random leftist 3rd party. I don't claim to speak for everyone but I imagine there would be a bigger contingent of 3rd party lefties than tonight.

I'm pretty drat resolved that I'm not going to let the Democratic railroad me into thinking a Mitt Romney type is so evil that I must come home anymore.. not that I think a Mitt Romney can get through the R primary anymore.

They won't have to railroad you into thinking Mitt Romney is too evil because this election will prove to Rs that a literal insane person can be within a stone's throw of winning, they won't moderate, and the next R candidate will ACTUALLY be that evil. Again.

Broward is something like 12% of the total vote. Palm Beach + Broward + Miami-Dade is about 33%.

I'm not saying it will go blue, but those are the large Democratic strongholds in the state. As long as it is close, they will make it go blue when their results come in, and then back again.

That's not true at all. Texas's demographics make going purple and blue a statistical inevitability. California won't go red, ever, unless you count red as the flames from it being on fire when the tech bubble collapses or terrible earthquakes coupled with climate change literally destroy it.
