Re: November Election Thread
The best thing about tonight is that we're going to get Trump's tax returns.

I guess you haven't heard of the electoral college, bro. If GOP is picking up senate seats, how you think that plays out for the presidential election? And critical Democrats just lost. McCaskill out. Nelson out. Heitkamp out. Donnelly out.
Let's see, how do you think this plays out?

As has been said, let's see how Democrats govern. Instead of new fresh blood, you'll go with the old hag. I predict, insane witch hunts. Even legally dubious things like trying to out Trump's tax returns. It will be never-ending fodder for Trump's Twitter rants. New darlings like Ocasio Cortez. All of a sudden Trump will care about a balanced budget. Any economic hiccups blamed on Democrats. Government shutdowns. It's gonna be a crap show. And then Trump wins another 4 because, guess what, popular vote and house results matter crap in presidential elections.

I'm curious, has CNN also mentioned Tennessee just elected its first female senator?

Re: November Election Thread
My entire mood for tonight is dependent on the outcome of the Walker election. Democrats taking a single chamber of Congress is objectively more important for long-term health of the country, etc. but I cannot put into words how much I dislike Scott Walker and his effect on my state. The election is so bloody close that as numbers come in, nothing moves it off looking like a coin flip. It's like watching a coin in the air forever.
