Our party picked up 49 House seats, 4 Senate seats, and 4 governor's seats.
I want the GOP to be so small you can fit it in an ash tray.

(16,370 posts)I'm sure someone will be along to say that's not possible for a whole set of reasons but they are defending 23 seats in districts where Clinton won.

Doesn't mean we get them all but it's a very nice position to start with. Others will also be targeted.
Senate? It's going to have to be a wave like never before but I don't think they will get their precious 60 seats either.

(28,795 posts)into a permanent majority, if this keeps up, it's hard to imagine anyone with an IQ higher than a turnip's not finally being able to see the light and vote the scoundrels/traitors out
this commie support by the formerly RABIDLY anticommunist far right wing is the height of unimaginability
the strength of marketing generated by these crooks would make Edward Bernays swoon with envy
