ehhh, i'd be more on board with this if it were a narrow House majority. But we're looking at Ds picking up ~40 seats

The election was a wave. It was very good for Ds. But it ran into obstacles that foretell potential future D problems (FL, OH) just as the 2010 wave foundered in places that spoke to future R problems (CA, CO, NV)

that's a good way of looking at it. could argue that the distressing thing for Dems even in areas I think they can consider big-pic successes -- Texas and Georgia -- is they still face a ceiling there that sits below a winning margin

Yes but those places are icing on the cake. They don’t need those states in their column yet if they win back PA MI WI.

true, though man, it's hard for me to imagine Dems relying exclusively on winning WI-PA-MI for the presidency. PA, I could see that getting away from Trump. But the other two could be really damn close.

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.

ah that makes sense. that was a high bar, but it's one clearly not cleared (or even close). a little too much agreement here tho you want to yell at each other in a good ol' fashioned twitter fight?
