haven;t had time to analyze it but a quick glance shows a fair number of R's in "safe" states/seats...W/o a strong R rejection of trump or with any amount of support that propels trump to a second term it's gonna be a long time before the country is singing the blues again...Few seats will flip in either house if trump gets a second term...
as we saw this year the D's only had a chance to take the senate IF they put up a winning candidate for president...an opportunity made to be even stronger by the "fact" that the D's had ( imagined they had) a shoo in for a "third term" presidency...in contrast had the R's had the 2018 senate race in 2016 we'd be looking at a supermajority...
I don't see ANY chance of a blue revolution in governorships w the R's now holding 33 of them and having won 31 states in the electoral college...the downside to having all your constituents in a handful of states w huge city populations becomes apparent here...Most of flyover country is deep red, their state and local govts will remain red and their US representatives will also remain red...
are D's done? hahahah I doubt that, but just like the R's had to remake themselves in a populist manner, the D's will need to seek true diversity... not the pseudo diversity they have championed during the last 10+ years, but true inclusiveness...
otherwise we'll see another campaign w the same depth as the "vote for me I squat to pee" campaign HRC just ran...
you'd almost think bill gets his talking points from the 'hatter...
