        That’s why there was no Blue Wave. The Republicans under President Trump increased their Senate majority and didn’t lose as many House seats as thought. He did better than Clinton & Obama...but Americans can’t stand him??? Simply not true!

        10 million more votes in the Senate for Democrats than Republicans. Control of the House. Gerrymandering that would make Joh blush.

        You do understand how voting works, don’t you? NYC & LA/San Francisco area have very large populations, they’re VERY Left, so yes the Democrats would receive more votes. Pity for the Dems that each State gets 2 Senators...see how that works!

        I have to admit the US voting system has me a little confused. Here in Australia we have compulsory voting with an upper and lower house & have preference voting too. Please google search on our system for more info...

        At least you admitted your ignorance. I know how the Australian system works, I’m an Aussie in the USA. The USA is very different than Oz, there are a few very large population centers that are very left, the rest of the country is Republican or swing.

        That's a good thing. If Australia had voluntary voting, it would barely crack 40% and you all know it.

        Trump is a benchmark for all the leaders around the globe. Very soon, we would see a big global turmoil !!!

        They turned out in spite of him not because of him. 9 more million democrats voted in the Senate than Republican.
