The Blue Wave Continues

It continues tonight with NBC reversing a call of a district in California that they had given to the Republican representative. He is now behind in the actual vote count, and if and when the Democrat finally wins, it will give the Dems a 40 vote gain in house seats overall for the mid-terms. 40 is definitely a wave, no matter what happens with the Senate vote tomorrow in Mississippi.
Also, over 9 million more Americans voted for Democratic representatives in this election than voted for Republicans.
The blue wave keeps rolling in.

It's pretty typical to see the House change hands in a midterm.  I wouldn't get too excited about it.  It was pretty much expected.

The real question is whether and how the Democrats will be able to capitalize on it for 2020?   Trump's now got the Democrat House to blame everything that goes wrong in the country upon … and don't think he won't try.

It is a wave for sure. Let's hope it's big enough so that we wave our goodbyes to the king of lies in 2020.

Oh, he can try. But he won't be around for 2020. I'm thinking RICO at the state level. There's already a civil suit which appears to come under the statutes.

After the Manafort reveal today, this is what the future looks like for Trump:
