Wave, or tsunami?
...[T]he Democratic lead in the U.S. House popular vote is up to 8.1%, and it may yet inch higher. For comparison purposes, note that in 2010 – which was widely seen as a GOP “wave” cycle – Republicans won the U.S. House popular vote by 6.6%. In 1994, which was seen as a Republican “revolution,” the GOP won the U.S. House popular vote by 7.1%.270towin.com, with one House race (CA-21) still uncalled:
Overall, Democrats have won 234 seats, Republicans 200. That's a net gain of 39 for Democrats.
Reminder to Mississippians: the Senate special election runoff is tomorrow, Tuesday, November 27. Defeating racist dimbulb Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith and replacing her with Democrat Mike Espy would give Democrats their 48th seat in the Senate, and their third flip of a Republican seat. Democrats haven't won a Senate seat there since 1989, so it's a rough slog -- but if you don't show up and vote, it's on you!

Chuckles Todd on Meet the Press yesterday concluded in his own special way that there wasn't really a Blue Wave because the Senate was still Republican and Dems still don't have the power to change much.
To which I repy, “ Shut up, Chuckles”, because he's a “both sides do it” kinda guy who is a chickenshit when it comes to telling the truth. In his “panel discussion” in regards to Trump's attempt to bury the climate change report, he included an idiot who tried to discredit the report and then trotted out the stupid meme that Trump just pulled, that there have been record-breaking cold winters, so how is that Global Warming, huh? Good grief, the idiocy.
There was a Blue Wave. Let's hope we can capitalize on it and use the House to go full force on the Republicans. Wash them down the drain!
donnah -- Todd is an ass. A Republican- wired ass. His eternal search for something/ someone to take Dems down a peg or two is part of his DNA. We recall not that long ago when he proclaimed it wasn't his job to fact check the lies coming out of Trump's and other Republicans' mouths. It's not surprising that the *fact* of the Blue Wave is something he's reluctant to acknowledge, even though it's the only hope we've (and he's) got right now standing between his free press and an authoritarian regime.
