WASHINGTON (AP) — As Washington came to grips with its new divided reality, President Donald Trump on Wednesday reveled in his party’s Senate victories, mocked members of his own party who lost after not seeking his support and even suggested he may be able to govern more effectively after losing a chamber of Congress.

Trump faces the prospect, starting early next year, of endless investigations after Democrats formally take control of the House, along with stymied policy efforts and fresh questions about the resilience of his unorthodox political coalition. Still, he celebrated Republicans’ success in retaining the Senate and seemed to blame losing GOP candidates for distancing themselves from him and his unorthodox methods.

Not in NJ. I just read we lost another House seat. Our delegation is now 11-1 in favor of Democrats. It was 7-5 and in 2016 it was 6-6. NY and PA were bloobaths for Republicans also.
It is so sad we have to celebrate razor-thin victories against radical socialists in Florida, Georgia and Texas. This country is getting more stupid by the minute.

The DNC only has one mission and that is to fight the President and fight those who support him. Even the GOP has a large fringe that is doing the same. They are sick SOB’s. I wish there were no such thing as political parties. It is a very unrealistic view but they are killing the nation.
