Not a Democrat (committed Indie), and thus - not panicking, but amazed about Democratic ability to lose all that's possible (and something that seemed impossible) in the last 1-2 weeks of campaign. In 2014 most Democrats were convinced 2 weeks before the election that they will hold the Senate, but they lost it rather convincingly: 46 - 54. Only couple of days back Democrats were sure of winning Indiana, and "rather sure" - about Missouri and North Carolina, now most polls (and sites, like 538) give advantage to Republicans there, and Democratic chances to get even 50-50 majority in Senate (+ VP as tiebreaker) become rather problematic. Even Presidential result (sorry for offtopic) became very problematic too. And that's - against Trump, the most flawed Republican candidate i remember (and i remember all of them since 1964)!!. Democrats even managed to nominate for President almost as flawed candidate as Trump, who would lose to anybody, but Trump (and, may be, Cruz) rather convincigly. Well done, my Democratic brothers!
I wouldn't even comment about Republican idiocies (like nominating Trump) here, but Democrats have nothing to be proud of in this year ultradirty campaign with two extremely unpopular candidates either. BOTH parties are worthy only strong kick in the ass after November 8th...
