Election Day

In the first house as you drive into my neighborhood there was an historic Republican landslide.  The first election when we did not split the vote. People there are just sick of the constant whining after the 2016 election.

Welp....no blue wave for sure.  Dems sunk a ton of money into Betos, Abram, Gillum, etc.....no dice.  Reps lost the house, as history shows they would, but not horrible (or as much as Obama and Bush did), and gained well in the Senate. 

Life goes on.....2020 looks good for President Trump.  Hopefully, Pelosi goes full nut-job, as we all know she will, and seals the deal.

Nice try Dems....good on you for making it interesting!

As usual, voting in IL is useless unless you live in cook county. 

You're not alone.....most states with a really big city and lots of rural ground are the same.  Look at the red/blue map for the country.....same issue. 

I moved out of Illinois in 2012.  I tell people I've put "Do Not Cross" tape around the entire state other than to visit occasionally.  

It's a damn shame because S. Illinois is beautiful.

Every Dem who was part of the Kavanaugh debacle was voted out......and in 2 years, when the country looks back on the coming stupidity from Pelosi, Waters, et al, they will vote them out as well.  Fortunately, they aren't smart enough to just shut up.  LOL

It's hard to teach dumb people.....but even that bonehead should be able to see what happened after the horde followed Booker, Harris, etc. off the cliff.  LMAO

I'm always fascinated at how different responses are in different parts of the country. In Colorado, looking down the list of results I see blue blue blue for even the smallest of state and county positions. Our county is usually considered a big swing county in a swing state, so to see that is odd, and has to be a bit of a blue wave in response to the current political climate. We voted out a long time Republican house member, and elected our first openly gay governor. Funding measures didn't do so well though, and a controversial measure to increase setbacks for oil and gas well drilling failed miserably, so it's apparent that the voters here still aren't full left, despite the fact that they aren't voting for Republican candidates. 

And in Missouri......from what I know about people from all over our state, the protests/riots in Ferguson and St. Louis City caused the electorate to dump almost every single Democrat.....including our 3 term Senator.  It will be hard for a Democrat to win in this state for a very long time.

We did legalize medical marijuana though, so all is not lost for the libs here.

What?! Who is talking Hillary and Creepy Porn Lawyer? What news sources are you reading?? 

I'm hearing a lot of chatter on the left about running Beto. 

That works too!

No.....President Trump's biggest issue will be liberals who want their way and nothing else......same as it ever was.  Not only do they want their way on any issue, they take it to another level and want their way on EVERY issue.  You can't even give them some of what they want ....it just doesn't work.  I hope he doesn't work with them at all......let them blow themselves up.

Life is the same as it was before the election......no reason to change anything.
