CMYK said: TX goes blue until these yee haw counties no one's heard of spring up like roaches. And then there's just Florida :///// lol... it's not just those counties. bordering towns to bigger cities had as many cruz signs as the latter's beto signs. as for more southern/el paso parts of texas, 50% of beto voters there probably don't even speak english anyways, so it's w/e. |

They're probably just doing it to say "Hurrr durrr own da libs" Forreal. Have you seen the results map?? It's so striking/apparent how it's always the north that's backwards.

| so as predicted by the polls the Democrats will win the House while the Republicans will win the Senate this will make a political stalemate there in USA lol |

Democrats have made inroads in Texas, and if they ever turn it into even a light blue state (which i think it will eventually as demographics continue to change) they would win every single election lmao Texas becoming any shade of blue is equivalent to California becoming any shade of red. at least the statisticians were largely correct this time , so bimbos on the right won't have to claim fake polls bc math is hard |

| Isn't this considered the "boring" result? Where we get neither a Blue Wave, nor a 2016-style plot-twist? It seems it mostly went better for Republicans than expected when comparing the results to the the polls averages (escpacially Florida), but probably not enough to keep the house. |

| There were 35 Senate seats up for re-election this year. Only 9 of which belonged to Republicans. Dems were never going to hold all 26 of their seats while also flipping 2. "Blue Wave" was all about taking back the House, which it did. A lot of local elections benefited as well. While Florida may have voted in a guy who looks like he's wearing human skin over his face as Governor, and Skeletor as Senator, the state did benefit from some amendments. A big one being that former felons can now vote. |

Liberal congressmen might be forced to placate Progressive congressmen and vice versa now for any partyline vote, since it's fairly close, though we still have to wait for the remaining few seats to be distributed. Also the results are better for Republicans than the polls predicted, as for example they won both Governor and Senate races in Florida, both of which according to polling averages should have gone to the Dems. |

| I don't worry so much about coddling the Europeans as Democrats seem to. A lot of the Western European nations go out of their way to disrespect us, and shit on us for not having the lavish social programs they do, but it's sorta hard for us to afford that while we're spending so much money on their defense. Macron is talking about forming a European army to supposedly defend Europe from some "American invasion" - absolutely batty. Cut spending on defending some of these ingrates and re-evaluate Medicare for All and some of those other social programs Dems are pushing, I say. |

You don't seem to understand how much power the neocons have. Want to know? When Trump sent a missile into a Syrian airfield, some CNN anchors went completely out of character and praised Trump for once, as if he did a good deed or something. On the other hand when Trump emphasized de-escalation of military conflicts with Russia, and by extention Syria, all hell broke loose and even some usually Trump-supporting anchors on Fox News turned against him for a moment. Pro-war = good boy Anti-war = bad boy THAT's how much power the neocons, or perhaps the military industrial complex, have. They can casually break down the lines of partisianship whenever they wish to. |

Democrats did not take majority and actually lost three seats by total so far but took vast majority of the seats up for election and kept majority of their seats they held that were up for election only losing 4 but flipped one republican seat too. So that doesn't indicate current support of Trump the House results shows current views better. You also have to keep in mind republicans use voter supression in multiple states in multiple forms so they have to cheat to win some states. These include to name a few voter ID, required address on ID, registered voter purging, and stripping right to vote for people with a past criminal record which may include non violent offences like marijuana possession. So it's not as bad as it seems. There wont be another senate election untill 2022 and the remaining third wont finish there term till 2026. It takes 12 years to elect the full senate. If we were to assume a Democrat candidate were to win presidency in 2020 that means the first half of their term will be often blocked by the senate so no drastically new policy will be enacted. The US government may stagnate in status quo till 2022. |

I read that they use P.O Boxes instead of street addresses. I think since citizenship for Natives is pretty strict, they should be allowed to vote regardless if they use P.O Boxes. ID's stops illegals from voting or any foreigners from messing with our elections. I honestly dont know how I feel about criminals not being allowed. Also Democrats cheat by allowing the dead and illegals to vote. Again they go after Trump for collusion while they themselves collude with other countries to mess with our country. I was told that they allowed DACA members to vote. They arent citizens, they shouldnt have been allowed to vote. |

I was told that they allowed DACA members to vote. They arent citizens, they shouldnt have been allowed to vote. It costs money to get a photo ID and hours waiting in the DMV and not everyone has that. I only got my first photo ID only about a year ago because I don't drive. Having a registered voter card is more than enough really unless they want to end charging people for getting a photo ID and somehow make the DMV efficient which it often isn't. Yes, Native Americans that live on reservations use PO boxes but they aren't the only ones effected by a required mailing address on ID. It can effect people living in RVs and the homeless for example. Illegal immigrants and visiting foreigners voting has never been a significant issue. An illegal immigrant wouldn't risk being deported by doing that and foreigners aren't registered to vote they can't. It's never effected any election results because voter fraud is so rare and even so what I said before still holds true that a registered voter card is enough but even that may not be necessary. Saying Democrats cheat in the way you describe you should be able to back that up to claim so. The only way they really cheat is gerrymandering but republicans do it too. If you don't know what that is it's redrawing districts in a partisan way that gives favour to a specific party. This isn't that hard to fix but no one has bothered for some reason beyond using a non partisan but this can't truely be done by a person like some places have done, an AI would have to do it. One of the voter purging methods I mentioned is kicking off people for inconsistencies in accent marks on names between ID and registered voter info. This is done to target minorities because they are more likely to vote for Democrats. I am unsure about no voting for violent offences but it should be easy to see non violent a problem. By stopping people from voting due to crimes they already served time for encourages the passing of laws that help further lock up people that by majority don't vote republican. Which effectively but indirectly outlaws dissent. That's why i mentioned marijuana since that was originally made illegal and the war on drugs was mainly to target minorities. |

I apparently just deleted everything I had written after I had commented :\ I'm too lazy to write everything again... I took what you said the wrong way, I thought you wanted to get rid of voter ID altogether and just let anyone walk in (kinda just what it sounded like to me)... I honestly dont know how that will work either but if there can be an easier way to register and not have it cost money or waste time, then yeah, I'd be all for it. My dad told me that murderers, rapists, ect cant vote but if anyone spent time for a small crime then they are allowed to vote. I think that might depend on the state tho (I also dont know if thats true or not tho) I didnt mean to make it sound like I was defending Republicans, it just sounded like your comment was one sided so I just thought to counter it. Someone also commented on how both sides cheat and honestly, they are both fucked up. Not just republicans. I dont know if we can stop both parties from cheating. I did read up on what voter purging is, I understand why it was implemented, but I can see how it can be used to cheat. |

I was told that they allowed DACA members to vote. They arent citizens, they shouldnt have been allowed to vote. The Democrats win elections through dishonest means (so do the Republicans) but it's definitely NOT through illegal immigrants voting nor dead people voting. That's been a myth forever. The amount of votes that come from that every year are virtually non existent so it's a total non-issue. Both parties have two very specific ways they cheat. Republicans Cheat Through: - Voter Suppression. They do stuff such as close polling stations in minority heavy locations and purge voter roles by claiming certain people are voting multiple times (throwing out their vote for being invalid) when really it's just multiple people who have the same name. This is just to name a couple of the ways they suppress voters. Voter ID is also a part of this. Whilst it is totally fair and logical to request Voter ID, it does hurt minority voters and it doesn't really stop any sort of illegal voting that would supposedly be going on otherwise. - Gerrymandering. Republicans put a lot of money into winning smaller more grassroots elections (something Democrats really take for granted) so that they can redraw district lines (in obviously absurd unrepresentative shapes) that make it much easier for Republicans to win the larger elections. Democrats Cheat Through: - Making Illegal Immigration Easier. Let me be clear, Illegal Immigrants DO NOT vote. BUT those millions upon millions of people entering the country have kids and grandkids who DO grow up to vote (mostly Democrat) because anybody born here automatically becomes a citizen. It's why Texas (the dictionary definition of a Red State) has been slowly shifting into a Blue State. This is estimated to finish happening within the next one to two decades and once that happens it will literally be impossible for the Republicans to win a presidential election ever again. - Complete Control Of The Media, Education System, and Hollywood. Through heavy indoctrination and propaganda filled with lies and false/dishonest information the Democratic Party brainwashes the youth so that they grow up to vote Democrat. America would be a VERY different country if it wasn't for this. The point swing this causes on a national level is estimated to easily be in the double digits. The voter suppression the Republicans do is pretty awful (truly is racist) although the Gerrymandering whilst dumb is more so fair game because the Democrats used to do it all the time but stopped being able to due to losing the ability to do so in most places to the Republicans. But what the Democrats do is significantly worse like I loathe when people use this term in politics but it truly is evil. Plus it makes a much larger difference than what the Republicans do. Thanks for commenting. I didnt mean to sound like was I defending Republicans or anything. I read up on voter purging and I can see how that can be used for cheating. Both parties are fucked up. I dont think one is worse than the other. |

nicethings said: It's good to know that people can vote the limpdick Teddie back into office just because he screeches JEEEEYSAS all the time That's not what I want to see, hear, or have make decisions upon my behalf, though. Makes my skin crawl. Not a shocker that he won, I knew I live in a state with many idiots and had too much hope that even the "moderate" republicans would see what a buffoon this guy is. And I was wrong. However, party percentages are getting closer to more even. One day, Texas will be blue. There is no stopping the fact that texas will be blue. It's pity that Texas actually has decent democrats who'll never be elected until there's a larger voter population rift. I'm sure mal, the whole lot of you, don't beleive there's a such thing as a decent dem. Whatever, local libtard, at least my vote counted for something. Beto O'Rourke seemed like a good candidate and a nice dude, way more coherent and well spoken than someone like Mr. Zodiac. If he were in a democratic majority state he likely would've won. Pitifully, Texas won't be blue for awhile, but theres a likelihood it'll shift to blue eventually. Democrats may win the house. I hope that much ends up true. BackstageMage said: Teddy boy won, the fuck Rural counties in Texas, rednecks, moronic geriatrics, and young people not voting. Giving Ted this, hes retarded, but not nearly as retarded as Rick Perry. Few politicians in the state of Texas can embarrass this state on a national scale much like Rick Perry and Teddie Zodiac have, though. I like how people talk politics without actually knowing what they're talking about. Texas was mostly blue all of its life until the 1990s if we're talking about governors/senators. It being Republican is a relatively recent thing. Another thing: If all it takes for you to like a politician is if they're well spoken and "coherent" then that's a terribly low bar. In fact, it's quite telling on American politics. Beto O'Rourke voted against Dreamers. Beto O'Rourke supports imperialist Israel. Beto O'Rourke sits on at least two boards for the military and supports our imperialist military that has destabilized Latin America, the Middle East, and beyond. And if you support the American military, then guess what, there goes the environment because the US military is the leading polluter in the world. Beto O'Rourke wanted to pass a bill that made it mandatory for people to be in the military for at least 2 years (he didn't go through with it due to criticism from people like me on social media). Beto O'Rourke's position on healthcare only got to that point because of criticism of it for months and Sema's pressure on him. Beto O'Rourke disrespected Sema (primary opponent) and her voter base by not debating her and insisting we vote for him (what an ego on him omg). Beto O'Rourke did accept PAC money despite his campaign saying otherwise, but the loophole is that the PAC would give it to him as an "Independent Expenditure" rather than a "contribution." Lastly, Beto O'Rourke is a rich, white guy that was magically able to visit every county in Texas (there's over 200 LOL). Edit: I forgot to mention the entire (liberal) establishment media was on Beto's side from Day 1 and he still lost. Meanwhile Sema almost kicked his ass in the primary with only a couple thousand dollars compared to his millions. Sad. Hope Beto goes away forever. |

ALSO COMMUNISM DOESN'T WORK! |
| @is_it_magical yet you watch anime with predominantly white characters You mean predominantly Japanese? And Japanese is not the same thing as White. and live in clean majority white neighborhood I'm Hispanic and my neighborhood is Hispanic and we live in a 90% Hispanic county in Texas. look the reason why you lose is you attack people on their race not their ideas, you only criticize white people that's your problem STOP being racist! You must have missed the rest of my post that you conveniently didn't quote because I literally attacked his ideas. I'm not being racist if I'm pointing out how Beto has nothing to lose based off his wealth and race. He directly is hurting people. Stop defending warmongers, it's gross. could you imagine what you're life would be like if you went around blaming black people or jews for everything, so stop blaming Men, Christians and Whites for everything!!! Tell that to Native Americans. I'm sure they'd love to here that. ALSO COMMUNISM DOESN'T WORK! Because the US military destabilizes any country with a hint of "leftism." Thank you for proving my point. |

ChesCayk said: traed said: It costs money to get a photo ID and hours waiting in the DMV and not everyone has that. I only got my first photo ID only about a year ago because I don't drive. Having a registered voter card is more than enough really unless they want to end charging people for getting a photo ID and somehow make the DMV efficient which it often isn't. Yes, Native Americans that live on reservations use PO boxes but they aren't the only ones effected by a required mailing address on ID. It can effect people living in RVs and the homeless for example. Illegal immigrants and visiting foreigners voting has never been a significant issue. An illegal immigrant wouldn't risk being deported by doing that and foreigners aren't registered to vote they can't. It's never effected any election results because voter fraud is so rare and even so what I said before still holds true that a registered voter card is enough but even that may not be necessary. Saying Democrats cheat in the way you describe you should be able to back that up to claim so. The only way they really cheat is gerrymandering but republicans do it too. If you don't know what that is it's redrawing districts in a partisan way that gives favour to a specific party. This isn't that hard to fix but no one has bothered for some reason beyond using a non partisan but this can't truely be done by a person like some places have done, an AI would have to do it. One of the voter purging methods I mentioned is kicking off people for inconsistencies in accent marks on names between ID and registered voter info. This is done to target minorities because they are more likely to vote for Democrats. I am unsure about no voting for violent offences but it should be easy to see non violent a problem. By stopping people from voting due to crimes they already served time for encourages the passing of laws that help further lock up people that by majority don't vote republican. Which effectively but indirectly outlaws dissent. That's why i mentioned marijuana since that was originally made illegal and the war on drugs was mainly to target minorities. I apparently just deleted everything I had written after I had commented :\ I'm too lazy to write everything again... I took what you said the wrong way, I thought you wanted to get rid of voter ID altogether and just let anyone walk in (kinda just what it sounded like to me)... I honestly dont know how that will work either but if there can be an easier way to register and not have it cost money or waste time, then yeah, I'd be all for it. My dad told me that murderers, rapists, ect cant vote but if anyone spent time for a small crime then they are allowed to vote. I think that might depend on the state tho (I also dont know if thats true or not tho) I didnt mean to make it sound like I was defending Republicans, it just sounded like your comment was one sided so I just thought to counter it. Someone also commented on how both sides cheat and honestly, they are both fucked up. Not just republicans. I dont know if we can stop both parties from cheating. I did read up on what voter purging is, I understand why it was implemented, but I can see how it can be used to cheat. That's what CTRL- z is for. It brings back if you deleted stuff on accident even if it was by the button in the text box. There is. Automatic registry. Tons of countries do it that way where anyone legible to vote can vote. It's any felony not just those. Things like copyright violation and possession of a decent amount of drugs is also considered felony charges. How long their ability to vote is taken away duffers by state. Basically sending a digital copy of an anime show to a friend can land you a felony charge. The US just has a bad voting system overall and a flawed legal system. |

If something were to happen I guess Trump would have to choose someone to replace her. Third one it would be.  But... it is all going according to keikaku. The smoke is clearing from the most expensive midterm elections in American history and the outlines are just becoming visible. TUCKER CARLSON: Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson Tonight. The smoke is clearing from the most expensive midterm elections in American history and the outlines are just becoming visible. The results are confusing. It wasn’t exactly a draw, but both sides can claim victory, and of course they are. In the House, Republicans did slightly worse than average for a midterm. In the Senate they did a little better. Some of the races played out as referendums on the president’s first two years. Others had nothing to do with Trump at all. In some races, hard-edged ideologues won. In others, doughy moderates did. It’s a patchwork. There are no easy takeaways from what happened last night. But there are some useful lessons. That’s what we’d like to spend some time time talking about tonight. What exactly have we learned from 470 individual congressional elections, several big governor’s races and a full year of political debate? The biggest news is that Democrats just won back the House of Representatives after eight years. They’re thrilled obviously. Yet they don’t appear to have any idea how they did it. As of tonight, there really is no Democratic program or message. There’s no Democratic plan for making the economy stronger or the country safer. There is only Donald Trump, whom they despise. The entire Democratic platform is him. The president is often accused of narcissism, or making everything about himself. But on that point, Democrats agree. They think everything’s about Trump, too. Watch this clip from last night. It’s just become clear that Democrats are going to retake the House. It’s a big moment. A senior Democrat calls the set at MSNBC to announce his party’s top priority, now that they’ve regained power... Getting Trump’s tax returns. That’s the priority. Not infrastructure, not wages, not the looming threat from China or drug ODs or the shrinking middle class or even health care. But Trump’s tax returns. That’s what Democrats really want. OK. Maybe they’ll get those returns. What then? What will we learn? That a casino owner once employed a clever accountant? That he made less than he claimed he did? Will anyone be shocked by any of that? Will anyone care? Or, as with the Stormy Daniels saga, will voters find themselves titillated for a moment, and then lose interest? What do Trump’s tax returns have to do with them anyway? Their premiums haven’t gone down. It’s just noise. There’s a simple lesson here. You’d think Democrats would have figured it out. But they haven’t. Congressman Jerry Nadler will likely be the chairman the House judiciary committee. Just today, Nadler was overheard on a train to New York laying out his priorities. First on the list: impeaching Brett Kavanaugh and removing him from the Supreme Court. Apparently that’s what Democrats believe voters really want, more than anything. Congressman Adam Schiff of California, meanwhile, is poised to take over the House Intelligence Committee. He says his main priority come January is intensifying the endless Russia probe. Schiff thinks he can prove that Vladimir Putin somehow stole the 2016 election with a few dozen Facebook ads that nobody saw. Can Schiff really prove that? Who knows? What we can know, for certain, is that nobody outside Washington will care if he does. The entire Russia conversation is irrelevant and dumb. That’s been proven already. Democrats are the only ones who don’t know yet. As of now, the entire Democratic platform can be summed up in a sentence: “Donald Trump is a bad person.” That’s what they plan to run on in the next presidential election, which incidentally starts today. Good luck with that. It’s a virtual guarantee that Trump will serve a full eight years. So is all the race talk. Somewhere along the way, Democrats became convinced they could win elections by denouncing voters as racist. The Andrew Gillum campaign tried it in Florida. So did Stacy Abrams’s surrogates in Georgia. It didn’t work either time. In fact it rarely works. Why would it? Here’s a bit of hard-earned knowledge from almost thirty years of covering campaigns: when you call voters immoral, they don’t like it. Yet the left continues to throw out the slur, probably because they enjoy doing it. Here’s ABC’s coverage of the Gillum race last night: In other words, Andrew Gillum lost because of his skin color. And that’s the fault of people of a certain skin color. You hear things like this all the time. Nobody every bothers to prove any of it. It’s unprovable. That’s the appeal. Racism is anything you don’t like. A racist is anyone in your way. Hurling accusations of bigotry is often the quickest way to get what you want. That’s why they do it. Happened again today: A few years ago, what you just saw would have been a headline news. An accredited White House reporter calls the president of the United States a white supremacist? Holy smokes. Now it’s just another day on cable news. Nobody really believes the reporter means it. It’s posturing. It’s boring. The claim is losing its power from overuse. Diminishing returns have been reached. If you’ve got a problem with nationalism, why not just argue against nationalism? We all might learn something. In the meantime, Republicans should understand that Democrats call them bigots not because they believe they are, or even because they care if they are. Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan are allowed in the Democratic Party after all. Democrats obviously aren’t too concerned about bigotry. Democrats make the charge because they hope it will bring them power. Power is what they want. It’s all they want. Republicans lost a chamber of congress last night. Nobody rioted. No one blocked intersections or looted liquor stores. Republican consultants didn’t go on TV this morning to question the results or attack the House of Representatives as illegitimate. It didn’t occur to them. It was just an election. You lose sometimes. That’s not how Democrats think. They mean it. They lost a few seats in the senate last night, and already they’re denouncing the senate itself as somehow undemocratic. Watch Joy Behar try to read, and ultimately misread, the party’s talking points on the View today: ... You can’t gerrymander an entire state of course. Behar may not know that. She probably doesn’t understand what the senate is. But she knows power. Like many Democrats you see on television, she’ll say whatever it takes to get it. But it’s not just Democrats who should have learned something last night. There were lessons for Republicans too. Here’s one: voters care about campaign promises. If you don’t fulfill them, they’ll notice. In 2016, Republicans promised to build a wall, get rid of Obamacare and defund planned parenthood. They got elected, but they didn’t do any of that. Maybe that’s one reason they lost the house last night. Here’s another lesson: Immigration matters. Not just on the level of individuals and families and caravans, but over time at the level of entire populations. Immigration changes who lives in a country, and who votes. That’s why it matters. You’d never know this from listening to the coverage of immigration stories. You’d think the question of who comes into your country and under what circumstances was entirely a moral issue, a question of personal decency. Good people are for it. Bad people are against it. Whatever else that exchange was, it was mostly a diversion from the political reality of immigration. California was once a solidly Republican state. It’s not anymore. Immigration did that. Different people live there, and not surprisingly they vote very differently. Something similar is happening in Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Virginia and many other states, and it was reflected in last night’s vote totals. Democrats know this obviously. That’s why they oppose borders, because it helps them win. Republicans have been slow to pick up on this. They still think immigration policy is about virtue. Republicans also seem to think their economic message is working. They’re very proud of the tax bill they passed in this congress, the one they will control for a while. There’s nothing wrong with tax cuts, but Republican strategists seem to forget that a huge percentage of Americans don’t even pay federal taxes. By definition they don’t care very much about the cuts. For them and for many others, the economy isn’t measured in stock prices and GDP numbers. Their concerns are more tangible: What does gas cost? Can I afford to live in a safe neighborhood? Will I go bankrupt if I get sick? The party that effectively addresses these questions generally wins. Republicans tend to ignore these questions. That’s a big reason they just lost. Keep in kind that the Republican Party is the Conservative party. Republicans are supposed to care about families above all. And yet, increasingly the American family is vanishing. Young people can’t afford to get married or have children. Take a look at the numbers some time. They’re shocking. They foretell an ominous future. A country without strong families is a weak country. It’s a volatile, chaotic place, susceptible to political demagoguery. It’s what America is becoming. If you want to stop the slide, support families. Put another way, if your supposedly conservative economic program doesn’t make it easier for young people to get and stay married, how is it really conservative? If couples are too poor to have kids, and you’re not helping, why should I as a conservative vote for you? I shouldn’t. And I won’t. Supporting marriage and children is the best, maybe the only way for Republicans to save the country. It will win them elections too. They should start. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/11/08/tucker_carlson_useful_lessons_from_the_midterm_elections.html |

| What the hell is going on with the election in Arizona and the special election in Mississippi? They still haven't finished counting and it's already 3 days after the election. How did a 0.9% advantage for McSally at 100% votes counted turn into a 0.5% advantage for Sinema at... "---%" votes counted?! What is this? Not sure if it's RCP screwing up or if there are some strange things happening backstage... even if they are counting mail-in votes, it shouldn't take so long. This isn't California we are talking about... And The Mississippi special election has been at 98% votes counted without any change for the last 3 days. What are the doing? |

--ALEX-- said: Pxi2 said: Trump seems to be succeeding at getting his base riled up. Dunno how the dems are doing. The sjw violence and political correctness is probably alienating people. Dunno what people think of the "bombings" but the caravan entering the USA seems to be more opposed than supported. “SJW Violence”? Are you trolling? In the last weeks leading up to the election we have seen nothing but Far Fight Violence. The MAGA Bomber? The Anti-Semetic Shooting? Are these SJWs? And dude...guess what...the United States has this law on Asylum which says that people trying to get into the U.S for Asylum are at least supposed to be heard. This SCARY caravan that is on its way (still a long way away BTW) is Asylum-seeking individuals who have had their home countries ravaged by War, drugs, and Violence. Again...the U.S has laws in Asylum! You okay with having them live next to you then? Maybe you could invite them in for some tea. |

I mean statistically and logically it's probably safer to live next to an asylum seeking family than whoever you're living next to right now. Because if an asylum seeking family is caught doing even minor crimes they face not only prison time but deportation so the punishments for them are much harsher and there's a lot more at risk. Basically what I'm saying is this is a dumb argument. |
