This is one of the most apt political cartoon I’ve seen.

Top comment on Breitbart right now. The MAGA-zombies are struggling, though. They don’t understand it. They’re heading now towards ‘rigged’ arguments featuring masses of ‘illegal aliens’.

hope to God the anti-American liberals aren't elected... They're not Americans, they are the enemy...

Not looking good for Amy McGrath.

AcrossthePond55 · 07/11/2018 01:58

Early voter results in TX are skewing rather heavily towards O'Rourke. Keep in mind that this is very early with about 1% of early votes counted. Polls close in TX in about 1 hr.

See what I mean!! Tx results now show Cruz with a slight majority.

GrinitchSpinach · 07/11/2018 02:02

Yeah, they've called that one for Barr. Amy ran a noble race, but it was always going to be a heavy lift.

Manchin seems to have held on in WV - Sen.

Damn. Marsha Blackburn (R) wins TN Sen.

Good news: CNN says FL amendment 4 (restoring voting rights after felons have completed their sentences) has passed! This will re-enfranchise 1.4 million Floridians...

James Carville (Dem analyst/stragetist) was on MSNBC and said "It's not going to be a Blue Wave, but it can still be a good election. We'll wait and see".

He's pretty savvy. I'm trying to adjust my expectations accordingly. I think we'll take the House but by fewer than hoped for. We won't take the Senate.

TheClaws · 07/11/2018 02:51

If Fox is predicting this now - so early - well, I’m cautiously excited.

Although Fox calling it early could be a form of voter suppression. Likely, as the polls are still open in some key states.

I'm going to have to sign off because it's all so stressful, but before I do:

Democrat Laura Kelly wins KS Governor over Republican Kris Kobach, chief architect of Trump's nationwide voter "fraud"/voter purge efforts.

Plus many house seats!

Will return in the morning. Grin

Sweet dreams Grinitch. Hopefully you'll wake up to great news.

On the downside, Heidi Heitkamp has been defeated in N Dakota. This is due to unbelievably blatant suppression of Native American voters.

Cruz the predicted winner in Tx. So disappointing.

AcrossthePond55 · 07/11/2018 03:24

MSNBC/NBC news announces the GOP now has 50 seats and will remain in control of the Senate.

TheClaws · 07/11/2018 03:39

Another flip, however Ted Cruz retains his seat.
