Polycosm 11/07/18 11:52:24 AM #2:	Not a bad night although there were a few results that, while not unexpected, were pretty embarrassing for our country: Criminally indicted congressman Duncan Hunter was sent back to the House to enjoy a one last hurrah before heading off to prison. Gianforte-- celebrated for assaulting a member of the press-- easily won reelection. Unabashed racist and white supremacist Steve King will hold on to power.
