He got in a drunk driving accident, fled the scene, and had mommy and daddy get him off the hook.

Not a great dude.

I agree. Beto would get hammered if he tries for the presidency in 2020.

If he beat Cruz, then he had a shot.

Cruz beat him by less than Trump beat Clinton there.

He has mainstream appeal and could do really well on the national stage.

the idea of our president having jammed with the dudes from at the drive in/mars volta is pretty rad

don't think he should jump straight to the presidency though. he should absolutely be invovled in running campaigns, however

Would like to point out that looking at actual raw numbers this a truly is shaping up to be a serious blue wave. All the number just aren't necessarily in the right place.

Once again the Republicans are far less popular than the Democrats, they just know how to appeal to low populations better.

God I hate the college.

They should elect Beto as speaker tbqh

But they won't because the Dem machine is corrupt as fuck


Every political machine is corrupt as fuck

Trump winning kind of disproves this


Oh this is rich. A bigger corrupt machine ate a smaller corrupt machine and got them all to fall in line.

NYT projecting a D+9 House popular vote:
https://twitter.com/ezraklein/status/1060011727582941184

The fact that that doesn't translate into a massive advantage is a pretty big indictment of how the whole game is rigged against the Dems at the moment (both by bullshit like gerrymandering and just unfortunate stuff like the inherent biases in the Senate/EC)

They're going to lose 4 seats in the senate so it isn't close to a "blue wave". It is a good night. I am much happier than I thought I'd be.

But if it was a "blue wave" you'd at least see Dems flip Nevada and Arizona, and it looks unlikely they'll do either.

Like ND was going to be a loss. Donnelly only won in 2012 because the tea party went crazy and unseated a popular republican incumbent senator. McCaskill ONLY won in 2012 because of "legitimate rape" Akin. So those three loses are whatever.

BUT

In a blue wave scenario they win Florida, they win Arizona, they win Nevada and they win Ohio's governor seat.

They did a lot of good things today and a recovered house is huge (YUUUUUGE). But it is short of a blue wave imo.

It turned out to be more like a "blue stream from a hose" more than anything. Dems got embarrassed in Florida, but Florida is extremely tough to win for Democrats for anything above local races anyway, especially going up against Rick Scott.

Wave elections are generally defined as 20 seat shifts so by the most literal definition it looks like it will be.

They should, Scott and DeSantis are up by way too much with what is left at this point, and it would only extend their leads.
