Fat lads tax returns should finally be investigated. Hopefully an end to the tedious "BUT HE MIGHT (lol) BE RACIST!" shite that's been getting impotently pushed for the last fucking year.

Getting Devin Nunes pumped from his position on the intelligence committee is the best thing that could possibly have happened tonight, short of a Cruz defeat in Texas.

Can someone explain why only some seats are up for grabs, not all of them?

Congressmen within the House of Representatives are elected on two-year terms, whereas Senators are elected for six years.

The Senate elections are staggered so that they still happen every two years, but with only one-third of the seats up for re-election each time.

It looks like the route to power in 2020 just got a lot narrower.

If Florida and Indiana are solid red now then there aren't many swing states remaining. The Rust Belt, Virgina and Nevada.

Oh such tough luck

I’m assuming most voters will vote on a straight ticket one way or another.  Given that I’m struggling to understand the divergence between House gains and Senate losses for the Dems.

 

The Dems were holding Senate seats in red states that they have had for a while and lost them due to incumbents stepping down and polarisation.

Their House gains are mainly in comfortable middle class suburbs.

That’s actually a pretty good night for Trump, all things considered. Certainly not as bad as any recent sitting President, save post-9/11 Bush.

Still a very tight route to winning in 2020 but he clearly hasn’t been deserted yet, and surely will never be.

Where are you seeing that?

My apologies.

There's a Vox headline which reads:

But the actual link states otherwise.   

So he won... but will be censured on day 1.
