I want the fn house.

And Beto.

As a Texan, this is the most realistically hopeful outcome. Fucking disappointed by FL but that would be somewhat offset by an Abrams win.

Instead of a "wave", I think we're seeing a transitional realignment of the national map begun in 2016.

CNN is really overplaying that there was overwhelming expectations that Democrats would take the senate.

Holding serve/loss of a seat or two and taking the House was the projection.

There was some wishful hoping on a few senate seats but Tapper is acting like it’s the end of the world that the Democrats will “only” win the house.

Shit, there were serious predictions not long ago that Manchin and Menedez would lose.

Shitttttttt Governor MeeMaw won.

I have wondered what his pre game prep is like. Probably had the interns loaded a bunch of scenarios to keep him on his toes. 

I was wondering if he has access to data from previous elections that would let him game play a full election night in preparation.

In his free time, I bet he listens to old David Brinkley broadcasts from 1960s/70s elections.
