One of the best elections in modern times.
I cannot praise majority of the American electorate enough. 333 different seats flipped from Red to Blue across all polls including State Legislatures.

American Voters ensured the Economic Growth continues but with sufficient checks and balances on Trump. Hence House to Dems and Senate to GOP. And electing 2 Muslim American Women to Congress is the "Trolling" type reply they can give to the White Supremacist Terrorists/Klansmen who threw everything and the kitchen sink in favor of GOP.

9% extra vote share in Congress given to Democrats when a GOP President has least unemployment and higher GDP, this is a testimony to the Millenial Turnout.
Political Pundits were left dumbfounded as the Republicans who had 1000-1200% more funding lost the House. The Red Wave set up by Trump Rallies suddenly vanished when Millennials chose to vote than stay at home. GOP was expected to take the House comfortably. Ominous Sign for 2020.
A young White Male Democratic Presidential Candidate should be able to pull off a victory in 2020 if Dems focus on the Swing States the next two years.

And Beto O Rourke, what an outstanding performance in a Scarlet Red State to come so close to beating the Shameless Establishment Scoundrel Ted Cruz. Beto is the man for future campaigns for Dems.

I really hope Dems forget about Impeachment hearings for Trump and instead focus on practical governance at local level in every District. 75-78 million Votes for Democratic Presidential Candidate is now achievable in 2020. Trump won't cross the 63 million he got in 2016.

And.. we might finally get to see the Tax Returns that Trump has been jealously hiding from the entire World. We will finally know why Trump was so scared to show his Tax Returns for years.
My guess: He is not really a billionaire.

Probably one of the best midterm elections I've ever seen. I'm extremely proud of all of the US citizens that went to the polls to make sure their voices are heard.

Way to go Dems for taking the House! Congratulations!

Yes. Let's move on and not copy the Repubs interminable R&R garbage votes of the last term..

Democrat Safiya Wazir, 27, who fled the Taliban in Afghanistan, won election to New Hampshire's House of Representatives on Tuesday, the first former refugee to win a seat in the state legislature.

This is why America continues to get Divine Blessings despite prevalence of White Supremacist Racism/White Privilege in large sections: The Good Americans are not just good, they are Great in Large Heartedness, Humanitarianism and Objectivity.

Refugees get killed mercilessly in Asia.
A Christian Refugee would never win a seat in Afghanistan or China or Pakistan or India or Japan or Bangladesh.
A young Arab or African Refugee would never win in Brazil or Russia or Turkey.

Yet an Afghan Refugee young woman can win, only in America.

A Million thumbs up to the Enlightened Voters in USA.

Randall..

Do you have a source for that? Because last i heard it wasn't Abrams but a whole bunch of people suing.. to prevent Kemp overseeing the vote counts at his own election.. a pretty straightforward conflict of interest issue.

In MI, a Muslim woman, Rashida Tlaib, is voted into Congress.

History is being made!

A whole bunch of people? Of course, you mean all Democrats, right? No, Abrams herself is not personally suing, as is often the practice. You took my words literally, when you knew what I meant.

It's just plain common sense to know that she who was supported by loony Kalifornia money would not be filing a suit all by herself. But she is suing, as I said. BTW, President Trump was one of only three other Presidents in history to lose the House but gain seats in the Senate. Clinton lost 53 House seats and 9 in the Senate. Obama lost 63 House seats and 6 in the Senate...and 1,000 Democrat seats across the country.

333 seats flipped from the 1000 lost, and by 2020 everything lost will be flipped Blue as the GOP Arrogance after this sound thrashing despite a booming economy is still quite high. That is the best news for Dems, that GOP continue to maintain the arrogance that they are all perfect and their processes/decisions/plans are all perfect. More power to their arrogance. Once there is the slightest economic dip, it will be a Deep Indigo America.

Already, the perfect plans of the All Knowing Holy GOP regarding tariffs are giving rich dividends with China cutting Soy Bean imports by more than 80%. I hope they railroad their greatest health care plans in all Red States and De-Regulate all norms more and more. And hope they go for more tax cuts for the top 1%, since fiscal deficit is not news anymore.

Let there be more power to GOP Arrogance. Best gift for America.

Yeah now DonWan can blame them for everything that does or doesn't happen.. oh wait, he did that when they were in the minority!

Kind of like blaming Acosta for trying to hold onto the mic in his hand. Or trying to convince a judge that the Pequot werent "real Indians" because they had casino rights he wanted. Or personally convicting the Central Park 5 for a crime committed while they were already detained at the Precinct -and even after DNA proved another perp.

Juni, you're the one who won't admit to being a Dem. That's a special kind of Kool Aid flavor. Pelosi would be the greatest gift President Trump could ask for. Much like Reagan won 49 states, expect President Trump to utterly destroy his opponent in the electoral college.

What Randall said bears repeating.

"Clinton lost 53 House seats and 9 in the Senate. Obama lost 63 House seats and 6 in the Senate...and 1,000 Democrat seats across the country."

The house apparently picked up three more seats, and there is a chance of computer recounts in places like Florida, for Governor...

Sarah Sanders:
Trump will never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on someone just trying to do their job

Fact check:
In Oct 2018, Trump praised Greg Gianforte for body slamming Ben Jacobs "Any guy that can do a body slam he's my kind of guy"
