If the midterms were a referendum, Trump won

How can they say this when the Democrats continued to gain House seats over the course of the week, Democrats obliterated the Republicans in state and local elections, it looks like the Democrats will take the AZ Senate seat, and it's possible that the recounts work in their favor in FL and they gain Governorship and the Senate seat (and if so, making the Republican Senate gains only 2 seats in a map that's very bad for the Democrats)

The need to maintain the idea that this is a horse race going into 2020/not understanding gerrymandering in 2010.

Having a normal one since 2016


When I was looking at apartments and condominiums around my area to move into, there was this one particular one that had this exact, if not something extremely similar, toy laying on the owner's bed while I was checking it out with the realtor.

Of course, this condo ended up being this weird two-story mashed together condo that he bought and renovated with a connecting spiral staircase that was ridiculously difficult to traverse up and down with, and he made it so the bottom condo part had effectively no kitchen, as it was apparently originally a crash pad for his son. Also, because of the way it was renovated, it essentially counted as TWO properties tax-wise and no bank would touch it because of the awkward property tax situation.

I actually agree with some of the points in that WaPo oped. Not the overall "headline" that this is a win for Trump, gently caress that.

But significant takeaways for me are:

-The record turnout also included turnout from chuds undercutting the impact, somewhat, of the blue wave.

At the moment I actually DO think the current state is that, unfortunately, Trump's election IS a horse race. If it were not for the electoral college, it wouldn't be much concern for me. But Florida and especially Ohio seem like tougher nuts to crack than in the past and it seems a pretty narrow path to HAVE to win MI/PA/WI without slipping up anywhere, even though it's very doable.

I think if the economy has any kind of significant slump before 2020 it won't be a horse race anymore. But right now it's a competitive race even if Trump loses by 5 points of popular vote.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

Winning PA isn't optional, but you can lose one of MI/WI if you pick up AZ (which since they just elected a Democratic senator is probably doable). You could also pick up North Carolina (elected a D governor, voted for Obama) or Georgia (doubtful, but Abrams/Kemp was close).

Winning Florida is probably a reach but basically locks down a win; winning Ohio isn't happening without an economic collapse or some other significant change (maybe if Sherrod Brown's the nominee).

republicans did slightly worse with the black vote than in 2016 looking at the numbers. women vote was about the same but they lost some male voters

absolutely not the 35% or whatever bullshit trump kept talking about

he claims to be, while raw dogging porn stars.

He also claims to be a teetotalers, despite being photographed drinking.
