Joe Arpaio?

This was the first midterm election in which the turnout was over 100 million. The Democratic candidates received somewhere between 9 million-10+ million more votes. More House districts would have gone Democratic, were it not for gerrymandering by the Republicans. In the governorships great to see Scott Walker, he of the Ayn Rand philosophy, go down, and in Kansas, great to see Kris Kobach, he of the fake voter fraud scam, also go down to defeat.

I think one huge reason Beto lost is he went so extreme left in many areas. Running in a Red state, far smarter to go centrist. IMO..

A rebuke for Trump:

Trump knows he will feel the heat a bit more. As he tweeted Wed morning: “If the Democrats think they are going to waste Taxpayer Money investigating us at the House level, then we will likewise be forced to consider investigating them for all of the leaks of Classified Information, and much else, at the Senate level. Two can play that game!”

Lol, I'm sure, but Mueller just got an important new ally:

And here come the subpoenas. And maybe the elusive tax returns.

Watching Trump's press conference as I write, he sounds so mild mannered and seeking bipartisanship. So now, he seeks the high ground. Lol. Whoa, tone change, lol, Trump is attacking CNN's Jim Acosta, wow, Trump is actually appearing completely unhinged and Acosta is not backing down from him. Trump is telling all reporters asking tough questions to just "sit down". He's going full throttle at "fake news", quite a scene to witness!

Good grief, watch the presser, Trump attacking "unfriendly" reporters. Amazing scene of an authoritarian in action.

I completely disagree. He came closer to winning a statewide
election in Texas than any other Democrat in 25 years. He did it by exciting new voters and building a new coalition, running to the right is absolutely not the answer.

Agreed.

Ted Cruz won by 16 pts in 2012. He won by less than 3 pts in this one. I get we want to see wins but at the same time let’s be realistic. The fact that it was this competitive with an economy like this speaks volumes as to where Texas is trending and the type of exciting campaign Beto ran.

Trump just fired/resigned Sessions.

This is huge for the Mueller probe.

He also boosted downballot races that helped other democrats win in Texas as well. That doesn't happen with a more traditionally conservative red state dem.

Good christ. He sure didn't waste any time did he?

 

[Stoked]

I agree. Mixed bag. Ds Gaines the House and some governorships. They lost ground in the Senate.

As mentioned previously a huge win for Trump is he can continue to jam pack all levels of the judiciary with conservative justices. It’s not just 2 SC justices. He’s also gotten over 50 district court justices and 29 appeals court justices confirmed. There are almost another 60 nominated justices awaiting confirmation for district, appeal and international trade courts.

He has two more years to push a punishing pace there. That’s a huge hit to Ds.

And their capture of the house and ability to launch investigations and stop the Rs legislative agenda is a huge hit to Rs.

lol

since world war 2 only 3 presidents did better!
roosevelt because of worldwar 2/ pearl harbor!
bush because of 911 attacks.
and kennedy just for being one of most bi partisan likeable presidents!
this is just the fact. other than that trump outpreformed every single president!

how is that not a win. only thing that would trump do better would have been a foreign attack of epic proportion or just be this mythical legendary JFK!

It has nothing to do with his performance which is nothing short of abysmal. It has to do with people being more brainwashed and manipulated than they were in the past.

I don't think I was suggesting he run to the right. I felt he ran as far left as Bernie at times, and closer to the center, in a red state like Texas, would have served him better.
