yes. i saw the 2018 election. the senate went republican, the president is still republican, and the dems won the house which was expected.
they can try to impeach trump but it has to go to the senate after that
oh and muellers bill will be vetoed
Good for you that you are happy winning a net two seats when the Dems had to defend 26, nine of which were vulnerable. I guess you call someone that sees a near empty glass, but is delighted that it is 1/8 full, an optimist.
You failed, however, to explain how Trump wins in 2020. the Perhaps we should discuss the 7/8 empty glass that is the 2018 election.
1. House flips, pick up of 40 seats. Change of control in all committees, including intelligence and oversight. Won't that be special.
2. Senate win in Arizona, a state which is finally showing its purple and has to defend another seat in 2020.
3. Record mid-term election vote for Democrats, with a 7+ point edge on its Republican counter parts. The Dems enjoyed a nearly 9 million vote advantage nationally versus a 3 million vote advantage in 2016.

3. In 337 congressional districts, including those won by Republicans, democrats in enjoyed a pronounced shift to the left (in other words, Republicans won by narrower margins than they did in 2016.)

4. In nearly every interim election for national office held since Trump became POTUS, the Democrats either won in previous ‘red’ districts or appreciably narrowed the gap.

5. The Democrats gained 332 seats in various state legislatures, including taking control of seven (7) state legislatures. This is important as it just positioned 332 more democrats to run as incumbents in 2020. Remember that congressional maps get re-drawn in 2021.

6. The Democrats picked up seven (7) governorships (and almost scored 9). This is also important as these governors will approve the new congressional maps in 2021 as states re-district after the next census. The Republicans were brilliant at this in 2011, but have far, far less control thanks to the 2018 results.

7. 2018 election results on a per state basis were also quite telling. We got to see the purpling of Texas (36), Iowa (6), Georgia (16) and Arizona (11). A total of 69 electoral votes move from solid Red to "in play". Meanwhile, it appears that Colorado (9), New Mexico (5) and Nevada (6), or 20 votes move from 'in play' to solid blue. Yes, Ohio (18) looks to be redder... lets move that from in play to red. So, the Blue Wall goes up by 2 points and the Red base drops by 69.
Of course, Ohio will likely lose an electoral vote in 2022, with Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Georgia gaining them. The point being, the math is even tougher for Trump in 2020 than it was in 2016, when he barely, barely won.
But, hey, if you feel good about the 2018 results because you picked up 2 senate seats out of 9 vulnerable….. well, good for you!!
BTW.... you never answered my question as to how Trump as a chance in 2018. You only told me how happy you were about picking up 2 Senate seats. My seven above tell us the two chances for Trump in 2020 are slim and none. Did you know the favorable senate map that the Republicans enjoyed in 2018 reverses in 2020? ..... The Republicans have to defend 23 seats in 2020. Good luck with that!
