Truth is, Republicans basically dominated the miderm election
 

It is extremely rare for the party of a newly elected president to retain control of congress at the midterms. So Dems taking the house isn't a shocker. What is a shocker is the break in history of the Dems failing to take the senate as well.

Trump adding seats to the senate is huge. That's going to help with the next SCOTUS nominee. And it means house dems can't get anything done either.

Plus NONE of the dem's high profile challengers won.

This is a big win for Republicans.

true that.. after all Republicans achieved so very much when they controlled both!

the democrats really haven't gone after any serious republican issues tho

Alt-reich crying meltdown thread of the week.

Dems gained 26 seats, gained 7 new Governors, and massive statewide gains. Keep crying as your nazi reign is coming to an end.

Redwave my ass.

And the best? This bitch is gone...

oh how desperate OP :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Most senate seats in play were held by dems ..... they had more to lose then repubs ...

Still is disapointing in Florida and Virginia ...

Dems now control the house. That will stop Trump in his tracks. And, Dems can start investigations any time they wish. First up - Trump's taxes. LOL.

But you spin this however you need to in order to make yourself feel better.

I stopped reading at Truth is...because we all know the alt right nut that started this thread only knows Chump's truth!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

How exactly is loosing 6 state governors and complete loss of the house #winning?


More proof you are bat shit crazy.. Trump is now completely fucked. We will now see his tax filings because Democrats can now go directly to the IRS..

The Russian investigation will now be "real"...


Trump can't get a new budget, he can't get anything passed.. #winning... lol

True.

Not sure about that but I'll assume you're right. It would have been nice to see the Dems take the senate or win more than they did. But, I'll take what I can get.

Maybe not. According to CNN, "The newly powerful Democrats will not only limit Trump's legislative ambitions. Subpoena powers mean a raft of new probes could distract and occupy the White House as Trump fights for a second term. While Democratic leaders have downplayed the chances they will seek to impeach him, the possibility now looms in a way it did not when Republicans were in control." Link


Which is kind of sad. It's too bad both sides are near polar opposites.

It's not over yet. Stacey Abrams may still win. https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/07/polit...ams/index.html


Not bad

The spin by the cultists is fascinating.

I will admit FL is a disappointment, assuming it does flip.. It looks like it will obviously.

Its proof this state is a lost cause if people will vote for a guy with shit loads of ethics and corruption issues over a guy who stays out of trouble and does his job.. Simply because of the party... Bill Nelson being in FL so long was a small beacon that Republicans wernt completely brain dead.. That small light has gone out and now its clear these people are brain dead..

Just more proof Republicans wants q Jerry Springer gifts full of load mouth chair throwers, not competent people.

History is on the side of Trump getting a second term, Trump 2020. Last 4 presidents that lost control in the midterms got a second term!

Oh, but I thought Trump defied history..

Uhhh...what was that bullshit you were trying to say about Republicans dominating something?

Sure sure.

Correction: It stops Washington in it's tracks. Everything passed in the House dies in the Senate.

Lol - The best you can say is it could have been worse - But you can always say that can't you...

So.. no Muslim ban.. No wall... No lock her up.. no MAGA..

... and was not like the others ....


Note: except for this point :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

So rare it happened to 4 out 5 of them. :1orglaugh

Amazing how the Dems bought into the midterms as if would actually mean/do something. In part, it did. It taught the Dems they need to stop watching TV and get out and vote. They did, but not nearly in significant numbers, they'd need for future elections.

Four branches of government people as 3 are controlled by Republicans. Trump is going to pull a Regan and veto the shit out anything they bring. That said, the Dems needed to take the house and Senate to make any real changes. They failed.

The Dems are shooting themselves in the foot because the only thing they can bring for the next 2 years is more rhetoric about Russian collision etc. This is getting old and tiresome and it will cost them, greatly after the second term.

Personally, glad of the SC changes as this is without a doubt, what truly saved the future of America.

When an alt-right hate fake nic Trump troll says "truth is" you know he's lying :2 cents:

no red wave...no blue wave...it was all lies :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

By winning, we're losing. You're such a delusional troll :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Wrong, blue wave won the House. That was our goal. We won. Trump lost again. Blue tsunami would be winning House & Senate

Another guy in denial.. Which is just another Matt26z fake nick.. :1orglaugh


Republicans lost 6 state Governors.. They lost 27 seats in the House on top of the 30+ they lost after 2016 in special elections..

The only wins Republicans had was a net gain of 2 seats in the Senate and somehow in their fanastyland of unicorns and Nazis on rainbows they think this was some Red Wave..

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

We should stop calling them "the deplorables" and call them "the fucking delusionals"..

To add insult to injury Democrats picked up 17 seats in Texas state house.. :1orglaugh


But..but.. it's all fake news!! Meanwhile Trump Jr indictment getting severed soon.. and Democrats will now ass rape Trump from the House.. but..but..but #winning!

While the various committees are investigating Chump. All the house dems need to do is put together something for healthcare, lower drug prices, stronger borders without the wall, and infrastructure. Kick it up to the senate and when they reject it, blame the republicans. Rinse and repeat!

Remember it was Mitch who said his goal was to make obama a one time president and did nothing but obstruct.

Wow, you are really out there. The problem with people like you who point fingers and accuse simply don't understand nor ever will understand facts. The Republicans run the SC, WH, Senate. Four branches of government as 3 are run by Republicans. It's simple math and well, fact, crockett.

↑↑↑ Fake nic

The troll always gives away his new aged nics without realizing it. It is the laziest fake nic hate troll I've ever encountered online :evil-laug:evil-laug

This was exactly what was expected to happen. The Dems wanted - needed - the house. They got it. Now they can stall anything Trump wants done, and launch investigation after investigation.

This is probably pretty accurate, more so given the results in this past election being so close despite his large opposition.

however, Nixon got re-elected despite an ongoing investigation before being forced to resign as well. So if history shows us a pattern there is always that as well as investigations are never done quickly.

Not going to happen.

Anyone else notice that Trump was only campaigning for SENATE candidates? All part of the plan. Dems taking the house is typical and expected.

MATT26 IS CORRECT:

It's brilliant. If the dems don’t work with the president and help to get his policies passed, and our economy becomes stagnated, the blame will rest squarely on dems shoulders. He will be a sure win for 2020. If they do work with him and get his policies passed, we will be more prosperous than ever before. He will be a sure win for 2020. Checkmate.


Maybe in your delusional fantasies.

:pimp

Haven't been around much last few days neither have I followed politics, so what went down with the mid term election? :1orglaugh

Is fake nicks and trump still the big topics?

Don't be so sure ...

Stupid one day, stupid all the days .....

Nope. It's actually older than the board and started waaay before you were in the biz. Matter of fact, that nic was stated on the very first popular porn IRC forum ran by a guy named GoGobar.

are you fucking serious though? what the fuck.

of the 100 senate seats in the US, 65 of them WERE NOT up for election

of those 65, 42 of them were republican. 23 were democrat.

That means that of the 35 available seats, democrats would have needed to take 29/35 (that's 82 fucking percent of the contested seats) in order to have a majority

Out of the 32 contested seats that have announced results, Republicans took a paltry 9 of them (that's 28%). They got absolutely demolished. Literally lost almost 3/4 of the contested seats, and you're making this thread acting like it was a major victory? FUCK YOU, you fucking asshole

Democrats never had any chance to retake the senate.

Fuck you, fuck your rhetoric. You can suck my dick. I have half a mind to DDOS your ass

I'd have some choice words with you if I ran into you IRL. Watch yourself.

This ain't the only thing super righteys like to deny
