    Lol you're so full of shit. They lost two seats and you know it. The reason why they had more votes was due to the majority of elections were in Democratic held seats. Republicans held all their seats and won two from the Dems.

    You’re stats like always are smoke and mirrors, twisting the truth. You should really like Warren.

    You might want to double check that


    Democrats won the Senate races in Pennsylvania,Wisconsin,Michigan,Nevada,Virginia ,Minnesota ,Arizona and Ohio in2018

    Democrats won all of the blue senate seat races.

    Democrats won 8 of the 9 swing state senate seats and only lost the 9th by 20,000 votes


    Democrats won red states West Virginia,Montana and Arizona and came within 2.5 points in Texas,a seat that republicans won by 25 and 16 points in the prior 2 elections.

    Republicans lost all blue state races,8 out of 9 swing state races and 3 red state races

    And yet the Republicans started with 51 seats and ended with 53. A net +2.

    You really should drop the new math.

    They won the majority of House elections too,and they were nationwide.They also won by the most votes ever and for the first time in US history a mid term House winner popular vote nearly matched the current presidents popular vote.

    Because of the way the Senate election map was in 2018.If losing 22 to 11 in Senate races,by 17 million votes,Pennsylvania,Wisconsin,Michigan,Nevada,Virginia ,Minnesota ,Arizona and Ohio as well as red states Arizona,West Virginia and Montana and every blue state race makes the GOP the winner lets both hope for those statewide results in 2020:)

    Well if that is in fact correct, all I can say is money is not everything. Freedom is. The freedom to chose one's own destiny. There is no doubt Santa Clara County in CA is better off than 100 flyover counties combined.

    Ya know you always go off on the 'racist south' and the party of the Confederates... blah blah blah. Let me say this.... one of my favorite movies and indeed written by one of my favorite authors is "A Time To Kill" by John Grisham. Let me throw out one thing I really believe.... and I'll borrow and re-write the very last line of that movie here....

    "Close your eyes.... and now imagine Trump was black".

    Would he still win Tony? Would he still have his base?
    You're damn right he would. And you can bet your ass he still would have won. We've come a long way Tony, you just don't see it.
    Maga.
