Not to throw cold water, but to put things in perspective

[question everything]

can we conclude that all the candidates for whom Trump campaigned won?

I know that he spent a lot of time in IN and in MO, not sure about FL and GA.

Oh, one exception - MT. Go Tester!

[mr_lebowski]

1. Yeah but you may be confusing chicken and egg ...

Don't forget how calculating that motherf***** IS ... it's ALL about HIM looking like a WINNER.

He picked 'the favorites' ... that were still 'close'.

On purpose.

2. Those are solid red states.

They would have voted against Democrats no matter what. That anus-mouthed fuckbucket is a coward and only campaigned in reliably conservative states so he wouldn't get embarrassed by the results.

12. I feel bad for Claire McCaskill

After all, MO has been res in 2006 and in 2012 when elected. OK, she was "aided" by her opponent talking about "legitimate" rape.

3. Trump is popular with the Republican base and even a lot of independents.

This is definitely true. I don't think we can deny Trump's popularity with a lot of people. We cannot assume that everyone is disgusted with him as we are. The key is to try to show people how he is bad for the country. I point out that he is not really on the side of the working person since I know a lot of blue-collar union guys who like Trump despite his being anti-union and appointing anti-union judges to the bench.

4. Kobach lost governor race and Yoder lost his house seat - both Kansas

Trump came here for both of them at least twice.

13. Oh good. This should keep him and Sanders more subdued

one hopes

[YOHABLO]

5. You meant MT for Tester. Not MN.

[question everything]

8. Of course I did, will correct

[SaschaHM]

6. Words still out on NV and AZ.

[BootinUp]

7. Trump really takes chances when he schedules

Those rallies.

[Hoyt]

9. trump is still dangerous, as are white wingers supporting him. But, we are a bit better off.

[brush]

10. Nah, WE WON THE HOUSE. That's a resounding repudiation of trump.

Bodes well for 2020 as now for the first time in this woeful administration there is a check on its excesses.

Woohoo!

[Celerity]

16. I heard on MSNBC earlier that every in midterm but 2 in the history of the country

that the sitting POTUS party's lost control of the House if they had it going in

[brush]

17. But they didn't always have total control with the Senate also.

[fishwax]

11. he campaigned for Morrissey in West Virginia, but Manchin still won

[question everything]

14. Thanks. Yes

I am thinking of Manchin and Donnelly and McCaskill and Heitkamp - who were "allowed" to vote for Gorsuch because of their situation. And it seems that Manchin is the only one who won.

[greyl]

15. If by "in perspective" you mean "accurately", no. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Uh no. Both Wagner (for Gov.) and Barletta (for Senate) lost here in PA.
