Fact: Marsha Blackburn is an idiot.

Indeed. She is a Trumpster on steroids.
Out of her cotton picking mind.

If this is what TN wants, they’re going to get it good and hard with Blackburn. She’s a total loon.

I’m sure she’ll really burnish your image, Tennessee.

Dumber than dirt, a crook, and nuts to boot. That’s what the deplorables want and that’s what they got.

If Marsha Blackburn did not exist, it would be necessary for Monty Python to invent her.

Yeah, - what happened to all those new people she supposedly pulled in to register?

Monty Python invented Michele Bachmann, but then she wandered off with a lumberjack.

I would say that tonight has so far been generally painful
If we wake up tomorrow with having gotten many more votes overall across the country, but minimal progress in moving the house (and obviously we are not taking the Senate), I believe Democrats will become a party so energized in opposition to the current lopsided gerrymandering, lopsided Senate representation, minority elected presidents and judicial packing that we may become that mob that the Repubs have been imagining.
Two years ago I was sad - tonight I am much more on the angry side.

I am the reverse. I know how shitty gerrymandering is and the way they’ve engineered minority rule. But if, after everything that’s gone on the past two years, the best we can do is pull off a 53-47 win in the popular vote for the House, there’s simply something deeply fucked up with the American people.

I feel you. Another way to look at this though is considering the heavy gerrymandered environment Democrats find themselves in even flipping the house by a few seats would be an amazing accomplishment. The senate was always going to be difficult this cycle.

The fact that we didn’t lose more seats is pretty amazing as far as I’m concerned. Not being able to hold / get IN & TN was a real kick in the ____. But we DID manage to hold onto more seats that, this time last year, were thought to be not feasible.

Good news. Kobach loses big. No one deserves it more. Except for maybe Ted Cruz.
