ive repeatedly said it on here but trump is basically putting up gw bush 2nd term approval numbers before the crash. and sure enough dems gained even more house seats than they did in the 2006 wave. and it would have been even better without gop gerrymandering districts in key states.

dems ran up the biggest midterm popular vote margin in history. like 10 mil votes between the parties.

the rust belt swung back to dems in a big way (except for ohio). so i think trump can kiss those states goodbye.

repubs gaining seats in the senate is a bummer but dems had a historically bad map. -2 seat net loss and all that bad. and pushing nv and az more blue bodes well for the future. as does significantly better performances (tho losing) in ga and tx.

it wouldnt be a surprise if dems do as good or better than 2008. especially with an inspiring unifying candidate like beto.

the only problem imo is gonna be voter suppression. and looking at whats going on in wi, mi, and nc right now...it looks like repubs think thats their only key to win too. the fl repub gov gets to appoint 3 new judges to the state supreme court too. replacing 3 liberal judges for a 6-1 conservative majority. so you know fl is about to be on some fuck shit without having to worry about the court tamping on voter suppression like it has in the past few years.
