CNN poll: Majority say midterms were repudiation of Republican policies

[ffr]

A majority of Americans say the 2018 midterms were mostly about the rejection of Republican policies, but Democrats may have more of a mandate this time around than in past election cycles, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.

Less than half, 32%, say the election is more of a mandate for the Democrats. But the nearly one-third of Americans who see the election as a mandate outpaces the share who saw the election outcome that way in other recent elections where control of either the US Senate or the House of Representatives changed hands.

More than 6 in 10 say it will be good for the country that Democrats will be in charge of the US House, higher than in any of those midterms save 2006, when 67% considered the Democratic takeover of the House good for the country. - CNN

In other words we still have 40% who aren't convinced yet that running the country into the ground at whatever cost it takes to prevent democrats from representing their constituents isn't a good idea.

2. McCarthy is already doubling down

Saying that republicans didn’t go at it as hard as trump and that is why they lost.

3. Genius!

4. I'm hopeful that everything Mueller's done to date, proves to be the the real genius.

Seeing Putin's Puppet getting hauled off in handcuffs will be one of those "life's moments."

It'll be tears of joy for days when that moment arrives.

5. crumble, resign, indict, convict, incarcerate

I want to see the criminal regime crumble while TrumPutin disintegrates, with lots of convictions he can't pardon. When he resigns (hopefully before we have to take back the Senate), then he can be indicted, convicted and incarcerated on lots of state charges Pence can't pardon. Incarceration might be beyond reach as trials could drag on for more years than he has left.

6. Duh, well, SHITLER said it was all about him!1

7. Well, that cinches it

The Democrats have no choice but to do whatever the Republicans want to do. Clearly the American people want whatever the Republican agenda is, and if Democrats start governing as if they've "won" something, they'll totally lose in 2020 because the Bipartisan Ghost of David Broder will rise from the earth and terrorize the country.

And THAT will be the most palatable "analysis" in the media of the election results.
