    Yeah, things weren't very prosperous in the 90's under Clinton I hear tell.

    I'm sure an explosive, unregulated industry springing up that revolutionized all aspects of life and business had NOTHING to do with it. Nope. All slick Willy.

    I'm just being an butt for the sake of simplicity that dem doesn't = no prosperity now.   

    You're correct on the net, but that wouldn't be anything I haven't mentioned before as well.  

    I see nobody will take to task the military budget comment I quoted.   Stick to the easy ones, boys.

    the house will be democrat and the senate will be republican....what exactly are u snowflakes whining about? the only thing this will really affect is trump not being able to have anymore scotus picks. He's already had 2, that more than enough. Quit ur whinin nothing bad has hapoened. The house cant impeach a president on their own

    Yep, quite the shocker, not what I expected or was seeing in the trends.

    I admit, I was wrong on this (will have other comments elsewhere that most folk won't care about).

    Picked up Senate seats, but lost the House.

    The Senate controls Presidential appointments (Cabinet etc.) and approval of Supreme Court Justices and other Judicial appointments.

    Nothing happened to slow down the Supreme Court replacements last night, and POTUS may finally get all the other appointments being held up approved now.

    Very strange night.

    Yup, picking up seats in the Senate should mean if there's another opening on the Supreme Court, it should be easier to get a confirmation of another conservative justice. I'd expect another smear campaign from the liberals. Make the fight over Kavanaugh look tame. Ginsburg is 85, does she have another two years left in her?  

    Surprising thing in Ohio all the state offices went straight Republican,

    Hello Preexisting conditions and FUK.U Health Insurance Companies.

    Mr. Mueller meet Adam Schiff, Chair of the newly reopened House Intel. Committee. Toady Nunes-take your traveling obstruction of justice buddies and listen to the Nancy Pelosi singers.?

    I know you hate Trump but hoping he will be impeached is both delusional and unproductive. 

    Short answer: he won't be.

    Did I say anything about being impeached. No I did not. I have called all along to follow due process through the court system. Nunes obstructed the House investigation. However if Trump does end up completing a Sat. Night massacre of the Mueller investigation a la Nixon, then they should launch a thorough hearing for obstruction of justice.

  • A little off topic, but did you guys see this? Scott Walker is out, and he fell victim to the changes HIS administration made to a recount ?

    Doesn't say anything at all about falling victim to the recount law. First you had to assume that they lost by more than 1% and there was more than 1% mishandled votes, second he have to assume that they are calling for a recount in the first place. He fell victim to the same thing that every other politician that loses an election falls victim to.

    But hey I guess it's a win for the unions ?. A loss for the working men and women of Wisconsin. ?

    It's actually a win for the working people of Wisconsin WSS. Andit mentions in the 2nd paragraph about how he changed the recount rules. Karma.

    you mean when the reps had the majority anyways? you missed that?

    watch them vote down the military budget, unless they get a trillion bucks for funding the lives

    Again it's just my opinion and I know we disagree about how good unions are for modern-day workforces. That aside I don't see anything to make me think that he's demanding a recount or that there's evidence that more than 1% of the vote was crooked. Of course there are Democrats involved so...

    Both political parties got good news yesterday, but the real winner was America.

    With record turnout and sky-high participation, we saw an engaged, plugged-in democratic process at work.

    Today, it's time to come together as Americans and work toward solutions that benefit all!

    Ivanka just being nice.

    It was not good news for democrats and all those thirsting for a "Blue Wave".

    This was a huge victory. All the never Trumpers in the Senate are gone..outa here!

    Trump right up there with Reagan:

    The most House seats ever lost by a president’s party in power was Obama in 2010. He lost 63. Next was Bill Clinton in 1994. He lost 52. In 1958, Eisenhower lost 48, as did Ford and Nixon in 1974. They lost 48.
    Lyndon Johnson in ’66, lost 47. Harry Truman in ’46 lost 45 seats. George W. Bush in 2006 lost 30. In 1950, Harry Truman lost 29. Reagan, in ’82, lost 26 seats, and in 2016 Trump is at 27 .

    In the Senate everyone Obama campaigned for lost.

    9 out of the 11 that Trump campaigned for won.

  • Once America watches the dems own the house for the next few? years, they will rebound back to reality.

    Except the radical kids in college and many of the poor. They want their free ride, their imposed utopian dream world of

    socialism.

       I wish they would start requiring Real American and Real World history to be taught again.
