My first thought at looking at the results after wakeup is, "Wow, I'm proud to be an IA resident rather than a MN resident!". The Republicans in MN pretty much took a pure shellacking, including the excreable Keith Ellison ... "Hey, my first wife beat me, so I picked women I could beat after that!"
My hope and somewhat expectation is that 2 years of Pelosi, Nadler and Waters will invigorate the remaining Trump hold-outs in the R party + demotivate some more D's, and 2020 will have a shot to be a truly historical election.
Republicans haven't had a 60 vote advantage in the Senate since FDR, and the D's held the house for 50 years after FDR. FDR is what "poltical re-alingment" looks like. Reagan was a nothing in comparison POLITICALLY -- although his contribution to keeping the echos of "Real America" alive was HUGE.
This is still BOistan, and last night proved it. After Kavenaugh, the D's ought to have lost 80% of the races by double digits, as it is, what happened in the Senate shows that there are at least a few people that still believe in the Golden Rule -- Manchin voted for Kavenaugh and prevailed, while Donnelly, McCaskill, Nelson, and Heitkamp voted against him and lost. In America, the Ford calumny would never have seen the light of day -- at least it didn't succeed in BOistan, and was not well received by a majority of people! In case you really think anyone "cared" about Ford on the left, it is often more important what you DON'T see them talking about! (Remember Roy Moore!)
While the Civil War, TJR, and Wilson all contributed to the end of America, the long slide from FDR through LBJ and then the BO cliff dropped us into the abyss of BOistan. It is going to be a LONG slog against huge odds the whole way if we are ever going to make it back. The only way we will ever do it is with a LOT of prayer and the Grace of God, in whom we must truly trust as a nation if we wish to be blessed again!
