California liberals. They destroyed their state, and like locusts, are moving on to destroy another.
Who knew it was Democrats keeping McCain in seat. Makes perfect sense.
Yep - Trump is indeed responsible for this (on many levels), and I ain't complaining.My thoughts:
Trump reinforces his supporters to vote GOP but those supporters only have sizable numbers in deep red states. Trump turns off voters who are not core supporters. Thus, women, minorities, the educated, etc. vote against Trump's choice. Trump’s gleefulness about how he personally hounded Jeff Flake out of office, Republicans ended up losing Flake’s seat.
Which tells me just how heavily the system favors rural, mostly empty states.Yep - Trump is indeed responsible for this (on many levels), and I ain't complaining.
38 House seats, and at least 7 State Houses are projected to flip. There were 12M more citizens voting Dem for the Senate, than voting Repub. Think of that. The change in mood in the country is unmistakable. The Repub minority only holds-on to its scant power by virtue of an electoral infrastructure that favors them, not by their popularity. And it is this very tyranny-of-the-minority that is causing our country's unrest. It will only be resolved when the electoral process more accurately reflects the will of the people, or the minority ruling party rules more inclusively including the will of the majority.
Majorities ruled by minorities are never peaceful governances, and often become destructive.
Sinema is the first Democrat to win US senate in the copper state since 1995.

That particular good news keeps on giving. The John McCain's seat comes up for a vote in 2020. And, right now, I would not give the GOP much of a chance to win it back.

My thoughts:
Trump repeatedly insulted both of their senators.
Immigrants live there, a lot of immigrants.
Simena is kind of hot, while McSally is not.
Arizona wants to be a forerunner of something new and not just a state playing a bit part in the clown show.
Well, it's the Senate. 500K Wyoman's votes = 40M Californian's votes, an 80:1 ratio.Which tells me just how heavily the system favors rural, mostly empty states.
And the rest of the country raises a collective cheer! We were all wondering what the hell is going on with you guys?She had a good record as a representative, she ran a nice campaign vs a very dirty negative campaign from McSally and her backers (including a mailer that showed Phoenix being hit with a nuclear bomb because Sinema supported closing a military base).
The cranky old Arizonan that loved idiots like Arpaio are rapidly dying out and the youth vote turned out in droves.

And, that's who approves judges (or refuses to let the black guy bring his to a vote), ratifies treaties and contributes roughly 20% of the electoral vote needed to elect a president.
The good news, however, is that, even with the inherent institutional advantage (and apparent cheating in Florida and clear trickery in ND), the Republicans have barely held onto the Senate.

It's the last gasp of old, conservative, xenophobic, Fundamental Christian white society, as the country demographically slips away from them. And they're not going easily ...And, that's who approves judges (or refuses to let the black guy bring his to a vote), ratifies treaties and contributes roughly 20% of the electoral vote needed to elect a president.
