Agree results increasingly point the D direction. But some of the big races that garnered the most attention in GOP column (for now): Govs in FL and GA, TX Senate. GOP kept OH and IA gov, too, even as MI, WI went to Ds. Dems won power, not full Trump repudiation many wanted.https://twitter.com/scottdetrow/status/1060700022969454593 …

Yes of course. They can try tx az and ga as well. Just as Trump would be smart to make a run at MN and NH

I agree in the House this was a wave. How many Clinton-House GOP districts are even left? And Senate map heavily tilted badly for GOP from the get-go. But my broader point is that D hopes that Trumpism would somehow be proved a one-time aberration for the country were squashed.

did D's really think that? did D's really think racism is gone? It's a wyrm, never killed, just chopped to pieces for a while

Those weren't the hopes of top party strategists, per se. They knew that was unlikely. But talk to rank and file Dems and activists and it was real. Btw, I don't recall Dems winning big governorships, or much of anything, in 2010 like Rs did in 2018.

CA? CO. Those were significant. The OH/FL of their day. Bennet, Reid the Cruz/Scott of theirs. DE Sen. It happened.

Though CO/CA may be our/your bias as where we were. DE Sen was epic recruitment/tea party flop.

I was assigned the “blue wall” story that week. It was a thing. And recruiting failures signaled just as much a systemic failure w Rs as liberals unable to close the deal signal for Ds

I recall something like "The red wave stopped at the Sierras." Dems in CA picked UP seats in the state Legislature.
