    And yet you parroted Fox's bad analysis.

    You understand how many seats Dems had to defend, right?

    No one predicted that Democrats would win the Senate. In fact, 538 had their chances at about 18%. Considering the number of seats the Dems had to defend, and the fact that several races are yet to be determined, it won't be a bad outcome.

    You just don’t.
    Right now there are a couple of Senate seats that haven't been won and a recount is the next step. But all in all it will be a pretty decent outcome in the Senate.

    Irrelevant. This "blue wave" encompassed winning the Senate. Do you think people who made those predictions were unaware of these numbers?

    The Senate was always a long shot given the playing field .. and it was always characterized as such.

    Democrats gain hundreds of legislative seats and secure majority of state attorneys general

    After years of trying, Democrats expanded their influence in state capitols on Tuesday, flipping more than 300 state legislative seats while also claiming a majority of the nation’s attorney general offices.

    if there was a wave there would be no amount of spin that could make it look good. Like obama in 2010. He just had to admit he was butt raped.

    I don't care about "people," and it's not irrelevant.

    I've been saying for months that anything less than a 3-4 seat gain in the Senate for Republicans would be a disaster for them.

    Sure - no causation or data to support the narrative that Kav hurt Dems in some key races, but you just repeated it.
