Outside of Reid, there is little reason to be pissed. If this was a Presidential year, we would have won handily. We did not make major gains in the very blue states, and I was hoping to see some more gains there from people who have realized their tts failed. Unfortunately, we didn’t see gains in those areas, but we absolutely destroyed the Dems at all levels in red and purple states. Several state houses made giant swings to the right. We won top to bottom in Penn and Wisconsin, as well as Florida, Ohio and Indiana. I would have liked to see total carnage, but we only saw partial carnage. The Reid race is the only real downer. States like CA and NY are still lost causes for at least one more cycle. It is very sad, but those states will reap what they sow. In the end we are in the majority once again nationally, and that is the most important thing. This election was about stopping the bleeding and we did that quite successfully.
Well said. Let us savor our victory and not incessantly pick at one of the few remaining scabs. We are on the mend and we should rejoice in this.
Harry Reid is a Mormon. The Mormons take care of their own, even a corrupt idiot like Reid. They are the ones that disapproved but voted for him anyway.
Just a point, and a reason I am optimistic. Blue Minnesota went red in both state houses. That hasn’t happened in a generation. I’m celebrating today!
