Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

[MillennialModerate]

Very curious to see if the early freak outs are justified or if the patient ones will prevail.

Then again I think I’ve always staked my flag in that battle

[MillennialModerate]

Why is everyone so shocked? Indiana going to the GOP isn’t a shock to anyone.

[MillennialModerate]

MillennialModerate Projection: Indiana for Braun

*by projection, I actually just mean stating the obvious.

Meanwhile, Florida looks to be close. Tilt D...

[MillennialModerate]

Manchin losing by 3 according to CNN exit poll

Uh oh..... whose the person from Texas that  swore up and down Manchin was done

[MillennialModerate]

This secured the Senate until, what?... 2024?

[MillennialModerate]

Dont see a path for either republicans in Florida at this point.

Huh... why?

In the Gov race, it’s a 20k vote race?

[MillennialModerate]

Florida going down in flames...

[MillennialModerate]

Looking bad for dems.

[MillennialModerate]

I’m sorry guys, but there is not that much outstanding Dem vote in Florida.

Florida is gone.

[MillennialModerate]

Dems freaking out about Florida need to wait about 30 minutes and chill out.

Wanna bet?

[MillennialModerate]

We might owe MillennialModerate an apology.   

I take no joy in this.

Trust me.

[MillennialModerate]

Florida's gone by the looks of it

[MillennialModerate]

The precients reporting from Florida is misleading because of early vote.

Florida is gone.

End of sentence.

[MillennialModerate]

Tennessee is the most pathetic state

Jesus

[MillennialModerate]

CNN just called WV for Manchin.

DADDY JOE FREAKING MANCHIN OH YEAH OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Manchin called the ultimate survivor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This cheered me up LOL

[MillennialModerate]

Well folks, as a Moderate Democrat. I am blaming the progressives for this. and I think that Joe Biden is the Messiah and our only future.

[MillennialModerate]

This is amazing.

What is?

[MillennialModerate]

I'd rather be a Democrat than a Republican tonight, period.

Would love to hear the mental gymnastics on this one

[MillennialModerate]

You have to give a lot of credit to Beto. He’s not going to win obviously but the way he did things his way and did not take big money or go negative - very very bold. Showed that he can make Texas at least competitive.

Are you serious? You would rather be the party that retains one chamber rather than the party that takes a chamber and wins several governorships?

What this shows is the Democratic Party, despite having the better ideas - can’t win when it matters. They are horrible at getting their message across. The fact tonight isn’t a Tsunami after the way Trump has conducted himself and the way the GOP Congress has blindly cheered him on - says everything you need to know.

Losing all the tossup Senate zests, BARELY winning the house and losing the two Gov races that were the big national stories ..... very little to cheer about. How you’d rather be the Dems is beyond me.

I’d rather control the White House and the Senate. Then barely control the house and have a horrific bench that can’t produce a canidate capable of beating the biggest ing clown this country has ever seen

[MillennialModerate]

I was ridiculed for not blindly trusting NBC/Marist polls, though.

[MillennialModerate]

Beto is toast

Thank God.

Always good to see a soulless media darling lose. Delicious twitter tears incoming.

LOL?.....

Soulless. You’re talking about Cruz, right? Not his opponent...

[MillennialModerate]

My guess is Manchin switches, especially if R's win either or both AZ and NV.   

Why wouldn’t he have jus ran as an R?

[MillennialModerate]

I will feel a lot better if MT, AZ, and NV senate races all go Dem.
