Election Night Thread

Dems House. GOP holds senate. Here comes some Cross Bronx Expressway/ Belt Pkwy / Gowanus gridlock
That's current theory, but I'm not convinced. I think the centrist Dems and more level headed Dems will convince the devout Trump haters that appearing to do nothing but oppose Trump for two years might mean a very short stay in the majority. Especially if the economy starts to go backwards.

Democrats take back the house.

1. Vote/Pass Medicare for all
2. Amend the constitution to ban private financing of elections (e.g. get money out of politics and restore our democracy)
3. Raise minimum wage (which will impact EVERYBODYs wages from minimum wage level workers all the way up to middle managers at large corporations)

But the GOP pushed BOTH through & now there won’t be an open seat for a long time unless it’s a liberal judge he steps down.

Highly likely that Breyer and RBG are next in line to retire. Both liberal leaning.

SCOTUS was one of the biggest reasons why many people voted for Trump. And he delivered to a tee.
 
Very hard to predict ! I am trying to figure out how The senate race is a toss up out here in our once red state
Of Arizona ? The polls are all over the place , dirty money is pouring in, so who can tell ? I think that I’ll just go to bed early and see where the country is in the morning ?

Except that they cannot unilaterally do any of those things.
 
Yeah.
It’s something people don’t discuss much, but in reality the only thing that can make a huge difference in modern politics & laws is the Supreme Court nominations. And people don’t realize how RARE it is to have one party in Presidency, control the House & Senate, & multiple seats open allowing for a control shift. Never happens.
Even if the Dems control all three (unlikely) in the future, they would only be replacing liberal judges. The only way to shift power back would be if Conservative judges stepped down (or died) exactly at the same time the Dems contrived all three.
But with modern politics & the way each party fights over everything, don’t be surprised if judges wait to step down until their party is in control.
 
Noticed the Dow Jones turned up at the close today ? Hopefully, it if a good sign for the Republicans ?

Not much being said of the SCOTUS nominee having false charges levied upon him while the leading Dems knew it was all a lie. What a time this country is in when our leaders lie and suffer no consequence.

Then President vetos. Dems need Senate to over rule, but GOPs control Senste....

But in reality, Medicare coverage can’t cover 350 million people. Not possible.
They can’t amend Constitution without 2/3rds vote.
Does this include the 12-22 million illegals?
 
Sorry to burst anybody’s bubble but the only thing of importance that can be controlled already passed....the two Supreme Court seats.
That’s why the Dems pushed so hard to push them back until after midterms & the GOP rushed to push them through.
The Dems wanted to be able to stop them with House control. They would just keep blocking them until they could hopefully win the 2020 election & have their President nominate liberal judges.
But the GOP pushed BOTH through & now there won’t be an open seat for a long time unless it’s a liberal judge he steps down.

That is why the left tried literally everything, including paying people to testify, to try to stop the last two SCOTUS nominees.

Everything else will be gridlocked with a split. But the GOP got what they needed beforehand, which will last for 30 years.

Ruth B-G has cancer so she will try to hang on but who knows. As far as the election i do not think anyone knows. the media has been pushing for democrats but we will see
 
LOL at #4

You do realize Obama won an election on the premise, but then extended the wars & troop sizes overseas?

I have Chase figured out now.

He is the guy that makes it possible for the GOP to dominate. He is a complainer who wants handouts his entire life.
Let me guess, you want me to pay for your college too despite skipping classes & pilling a 2.5 GPA?

LOL
It's a pervasive thought for many that Government can solve all our problems and supply all our needs.
 
Chaos, and a further disintegration of the moral fiber of this country. I wonder how the Libs will get on when they have pushed the envelope so far as to lose the liberty and freedoms that so many of our predecessors fought to preserve. When it is ‘mum’ or lose your head, what will be their lament? Who will they blame? Will they reminisce? How will their children judge them?

Do you have a link for that? Never heard this.

Polling is flawed and I'd guess like every other midterm and as a whole will be skewed between 1-4 points for Democrats. But polling is fairly accurate and we'll see democrats pick up a bunch of seats in the House and a few governorship's. Looks pretty safe that the Senate stays R. If Republicans maintain the House, 538 needs to shut down and pollsters need to clean house.

She’s a colon & pancreatic survivor. She’s 86 though. If GOP hold senate then maybe nominate the ND grad who drove the cab.

Pretty sure she's had two cancer surgeries? Pancreatic. I believe she's cancer free at the moment.

Thinking about the children purse? I take it you must not be too proud of your lousy example of a leader in the white house. Let's hope the children don't learn anything from him, especially all the non stop lying.

I have voted republican most of my life but what I don't get is how anyone can use the term 'moral fiber' when our 'leader' is on wife 3 and bangs porn stars. I mean, come on! that rings hollow to say the least. I'm not in favor of 90% of the liberal/democratic agenda either.. don't get me started.

Did you see all the new millionaires through their 401K plans?

BTW Dow Futures is up around 45points. I figured that would be plummeting if Dems had both houses.

Is New Jersey that disgusting of a state that they elect a useless scumbag who was banging UNDERAGED prostitues over a marine who seems to be a fair centrist honorable man?

NJ pols are a matter of lesser evils. Honorable is never a trait nor qualification that get you far in NJ. Politics; It is for example, home state of Corey Booker.
