Not in Georgia.

Trump is not going to be happy they lost an election they should have won. It’s almost impossible for the Democrats to win the House.

The Republicans have gerrymandering, they have all the state legislatures, they have all the advantages.

I don’t think there’s ever been a midterm victory like this since George Washington.

Dem sources on Ways and Means tell Ari Melber they will ask the IRS for copies of Trump’s tax returns.

Congratulations to incoming Speaker Pelosi.

And incoming Intel Chair Schiff…

And incoming Judiciary Chair Nadler…

And incoming Oversight Chair Cummings…

And most of all, congratulations to that sweet, sweet incoming Ol’ Mr. Subpoena Power.

(PS: Sorry to disappoint, georgey.)

A little confusing here in GA, my district, the 6th which was rated a toss up seems to be a hold for Republicans. But the supposedly leaning republican 7th which includes a good chunk of outer suburbs that are beet-red (complete with KKK like organizations) seems like it’s going to be an easy flip.Must be all those South Asians voting for the first time.

This really is the best that realistically could have happened. Feel bad about GA and FL, but they are Red states. McConnell will jam through judges and that sucks, as well as a new AG to try to shut down Mueller… But, let the House investigations with subpoena power begin. And let’s see some Mueller indictments before Friday to make this a happy week.

ETA: Trump and Jr. have got to be worried right now.

RYAN’s FAULT.

Handel is a real POS.

It’s a pretty good B-day for me, much better than my nightmares as of late.

I’ll sleep well.

A big part of that structural disadvantage is going to be dismantled in the next redistricting in the upper Midwest with Michigan and likely Wisconsin electing Dem Govs.

Fuck off, Troll. Dems are doing extremely well in the house and at the State level. Your boy Trump is in a full panic, as are you, obviously.

GA was always going to be a reach, specially if you let one of the candidates, a well known electoral rustler, count the votes and there is no paper audit.

And, just to piss off the Orange Asshole, let’s give a chairmanship to Maxine Waters.

I hope this is true, but what is it based on? D’s are tied with R’s 141 to 141 in House races right now according to CNN.

I’ll tell you one thing; for a minute or two, I was ready to throw something at Steve Kornacki, thinking this was 2016 all over again. And I was cautiously optimistic as opposed to overly confident in 2016.
