I don't know why conservatives are celebrating; The Democrats getting back the Senate was always a long shot, anyway. Them getting back the House was their main goal, & they got it. Everyone should know what that means:

-Robert Mueller to freely continue his investigation against Trump,
-Trump's tax returns & everything else about him getting revealed to the public,
-Trump unable to pass more legislation,
-And more.

Yeah, it sucks that they didn't get the Senate as well, but that was always a longshot compared to the House.

Picking up seats in the Senate is very good for them, as the next two cycles are going to be hard on them and they can more easily pack the judiciary with chuds.
Also, winning the Governor's Mansion in Florida and (likely) Connecticut represent upset victories.

Plus Trump will most likely win in 2020 and kill our house wins in two years

No, he won't. He'll most likely be finished by then (or even before that).

Beto O'Rourke would be one of the best potential candidates to win against Trump. Guaranteed.

The DNC would never allow Beto get that far, unfortunately.

He was neck-&-neck against Cruz, dude. That should tell you something.

He would've won had it not been about him wanting to take guns away from Texans.

And most republicans were expecting to lose the house

However key races like georgia, florida, and texas were supposed to be clear wins.

This is not true at all. If even Van Jones could admit it was a struggle and not at all expected, maybe you should admit it too rather than come up with these post hoc explanations.

Why, because he's young and speaks well? Dems tried that with Obama and he fucking sucked. Look Hillary sucks but if you want someone who can even hang get an old party favorite like Biden or some shit.

I couldn't care less about Hillary; She was just as unpopular of a candidate as Trump.

Only reason I voted for her was because I didn't want to give my vote to Trump; Knowing what kind of a racist, sexist being that he is (especially as I'm a minority).

Plus Rourke has charisma, & is well more liked. I don't even know if Biden will win, given his background.

My problem with Beto is that he takes for granted conclusions that don't follow from the nuances of all the facts. Things like the gender wage gap, for example, have been disproven but he still lists it as an issue for his platform.

It makes him seem like he's just pandering for votes.

Guys like Kemp and DeSantis were not supposed to win if Trump's momentum was dropping. This shows that the push back is weaker than democrats expected.

No one expected the right to keep the house.
