Losing 39 or 40 seats - I’d say that was a “wave”. It didn’t affect the Senate because most of those losses were in states where Republican Senators either weren’t up for re-election or the Senators were already Dems.

They also made gains in governorships.

Not really a fan of run-offs in general elections.

I would be fine with it if the threshold for clinching was below 50%.

I think ranked choice is a better system than FPTP with run-offs.

Pelosi had been Speaker before while Ryan was running for an “open seat”. He also had an opponent while she didn’t have one.

Secretary of Defense, throwing hints at the potus about meddling in the mid-terms. Bad news. Sounds like he has lost access to the oval office...

The president was invited to Bush’s funeral. But not Donald Trump. At least that is what I got from this.

Sadly enough, Bush 42 requested Trump attend his funeral. Dubya won’t go against his wishes, as much as he might like to.

From the link above, he invited him out of respect for the office.

Trump will likely do a thumbs up while walking in or something else totally inappropriate! If I were a member of the family I would have to think seriously about having him there!

For some reason this picture will upset a bunch of snowflakes. I have seen her on my buddy’s feed, shared from some Islamaphobic page. It gets a bunch of comments about how she shouldn’t be allowed to hold office or even be in this country.

The right's attempt to make AOC the most likeable individual in congress continues apace.
