US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

[ChaimMoskowitz]

no super majority for R's

Super majority by either party is bad for the country.

Two good things from this election.
1 - one party is not in control of everything
2 - seems like a good turnout

and for the bad.....
If anyone thought that last 2 yrs was a roller coaster,
Hold on tight for the next 2 yrs, you ain’t seen nothing yet!

This is like a dream come true. My classic lines are going to get worn out.

Cruz won. Would that be because of Trump or in spite of Trump?

Just to put this in perspective, this is the R's margin of victory in senate races (starting from 2014, going backwards in time to the last time a D won, which was 1988): 27%, 26%, 12%, 25%, 12%, 33%, 11%, 22%, 23%. Cruz is currently at 3%.

Thanks for pointing that out but it won't make a difference to the Trumpsters.

It was a question. I don't know the numbers.
He came out of the presidential campaign severely damaged

I think the judges get confirmed by the senate,
so trump can still stack the courts with conservatives,
Maybe he’ll even get another Supreme Court pick or 2

Not all Trump supporters are racist, anti-gay or anti- Semites. If you are one of these there is a high probability you support Trump. I wonder why, not!!!

[Jellybelly]

what did trump have to do with that race?

Not a Trumpster, but this election is a clear outlier. Cruz was a wounded animal since 2016 and Beto was a Democrat rock star who raised 3x the money Cruz did.

Not a normal race by any measure.

not sure if I see a trend there with those numbers....the numbers probably went up when a D was in office if I had to guess..

why does the house map look overwhelmingly red...or is it just me? (I understand D has the house it just looks deceiving..)

[aygart]

Did the anti Semite win MN AG?
One won a house seat as a dem

I am sure you were aware this is a deep blue state that Trump won.

The R districts are geographically larger

Based on the polls he would have won with or without Trump. Maybe Trump caused him to gain some and lose some at the same time?

Do you mean red?

Most likely scenario but the question is net

You point out the D's that fall into these groups and I will point out the R's. Lets see if my statement holds true.

See, you do know.
