Game Thread: 2018 US Midterm Elections

Recommended Posts

Give me stupid takes for $100:

Maybe she missed the part where Dems had more people up for re-election and actually won more Senate Races.  Or the part where each State is equal in the Union regardless of population and is guaranteed equal representation in the Senate?

If Democrats had their way they would combine most the western states as one and give them 1 token senator and 1 rep.

Republican Dana Rohrabacher (House of Representives member) who's been in office since 1989 is losing in Orange County of all places (as of 99% of the votes counted). If he goes on to lose, then Orange County which has been the hub for rich Republicans here in California will be in panic mode. Let the exodus to Scottsdale, Arizona begin! :D

Of the 53 Congressional districts in California, Democrats are on pace to pick up at least two more from 39 to 41. Some of the votes still haven't been tabulated as of 2:00 am, but the future isn't looking very bright for Republicans here in the Golden State. 

 

 

They are going to pick up 3, but I think most expected 4 or 5.

OC hasnt been solidly red for decades now btw.

Talk about an argument against term limits. Neither one of those clowns were ever going to be a worthy replacement for Sandoval.

Nope and Sandoval would’ve crushed Sisolak last night even with the blue wave in Nevada.

Sandoval produces waves by himself. Look at 2014.

The people making these dumb “we are not a democracy” arguments are themselves the clearest argument against democracy.

Well, she's not wrong. Our country is not a direct democracy. It's a representative republic. But we elect representatives through a democratic process.

Our founders were much smarter than these morons who want tyranny of the majority.

There wasnt even a republican on the ballot for US senate in CA because of our primary rules, so that definitely skews her senate popular vote mythological number.

Yep... they also got rid of a few veto-proof majorities like here in NC. The State-level gains are going to prove to be very important as we head into the census and redistricting... because that's what's going to help shape what Congress looks like from 2022-2032.

Colorado redistricting is going to now be done by a completely independent counsel, not by the state legislature.   Colorado flipped 1 state Senate seat for a 18-17 adv.  
And really, despite a lot more money by Dem Polis and a poor campaign by the Republican, Polis didn't win by as much as I thought he would.  
Regardless, Polis will likely push his state healthcare agenda next year and his non-fossil fuel agenda.   I'm already looking to move out of Colorado.

I cannot save the Republicans from Trumpism. Maybe I can save the Democrats from...everything wrong with them.

Also, the boomers failed me and we lost the house.

The GOP was always going lose the house.  The moment Trump became president this was going to happen with a GOP President, House and Senate

I don’t know about always. Likely sure, but there are ways to play things that doesn’t piss off lazy young people who almost never would vote if somebody wasn’t driving their social media insane every. Single. Day.
