    Never bought up Senate other than to say Trump won the Senate by defending Red State Senators while losing the important Rust Belt States

    Got it now?
    Did your subject line say rust belt? No.

    How was I wrong dumbass? Link me up. It was about that HUGE BLUE wave that Democrats were riding in on. They were going to take over EVERYTHING.

    There have been proposals to break California up into multiple states. That's one way to make the Senate more representative

    Partially true. But it neglects the fact the those swing states (Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania) and the NE and upper MW are losing House members and electoral votes which are migrating to the South and West to the red states.

    The only individuals talking "blue wave" since September has been Trumpkins, you can't provide a poll that indicates such since September. It is just what they think is a "gottcha" to deflect off of the actual election results

    That's choice considering how dear the Constitution is to Trump.

    In context, not really. But if it helps you sleep at night, pretend that you and the leftist dumbfucks you support weren't predicting a slaughter. It is entertaining.
