red HOUSE-37

The Democrats met expectations in many seats they were expected to flip, but mostly failed to chalk up surprises. They are, though, in control of the lower chamber, and at last in a position to challenge Donald Trump.

That's what I call "a glass 1/2 empty pronouncement on the Dems.. had to get the word "failed" in there. Key word being "mostly". So there were some "surprises"!

I, for one, was a little bit surprised by all our Dem Wins in the House! Look how close they were and how long it took to count all the votes in some Districts. It's not done until it's over and anything could happen.

The Guardian has a real downer take on our Wins, imo.

Still it was informative and FUN with my own take.. Thank You, Hermit!

P.S. California!
