I'd sooner say that the race bating took more recent precedence because of the new reality we live in under Trump, where GOP-centric scandals get erased from the public conscious after ~5 to 7 days.
I'm looking at the chart on Fox New's website and I still can't believe they called the house for the Democrats. The totals arn't fully in yet!
Wake the FUCK up. This is how results night works.
As I said earlier, for all their partisan bias, Fox News supposedly has really good internal polling techniques so I'd actually be inclined to take their word for it.
In order to manipulate the masses, first you must understand them. That's why they have such great polling -- because they maintain it like the weapon of media warfare it is.
I mean did anyone really expect it otherwise?
NYT and 538 are giving Dems very high chances for the House as well, going from a tight margin as counts started to a pretty wide margin now.
Goddamnit why did Florida Amendment 4 not be in 2016
Fun while it lasted I suppose
I don’t think there’s any candidate I wanted to lose more badly than Ted Cruz, except for DeSantis.
FUCK YOU TED CRUZ
I HOPE YOU ACTUALLY FUCKING DIE YOU LYING SACK OF INHUMAN SHIT

Out of real curiosity do you have any idea where we might be able to read up on this ourselves?
we're in this together brother
honestly i'd say wait on TX-SEN for a bit
80% reporting is a pretty low call point and neither AP or CNN has agreed with that call yet
Both gon' win, the Trump way has solidified is self as the winning way and will be the Republican party from now on.
Democrats gained 11 seats
Don't worry. I'm still betting that he's ensnared in all the bullshit surrounding the RNC and GOP regards the Mueller investigation. I would be very surprised that the man literally the entire Senate loathes with a fiery passion is 'above' not getting his hands deep inside whatever moist hole the Russians set up to 'make nice' in the Senate.
when I die I want florida to lower me into my grave so that they can let me down one last time
So whose in the lead.
Republicans or Democrats?
I didn't go out and vote so I have no clue what the fuck is going on.
80%? It's less than 30% everywhere I'm looking.
Still, based on the projected future vote tallies it's looking firmly Cruz
Honestly, it's something of an anecdote I hear (not from GOP-biased sources, but in general) from reading various comments on sites, even coming from centrist/democrat leaning people. Of course, how they handle coverage of said results is another story - this is Fox we're talking about.
why tf didn't you go out and vote just swim across the pacific to your local US polling station
Current projections:
>95% chance the Senate remains in the control of the Republicans.
>95% chance the House gains control of the House of Representatives.

Memphis voters has officially rejected all ballot amendments!!! (including big two them are related to Instant-Runoff/Ranked-Choice voting)
They're just following the Mark Twain model of 'Get your facts straight first, then you can distort them as you please'.
NBC is saying a final total of 229 for the hosue
I am one off damnit!
It's pretty fucking ridiculous how geography makes the Senate favor Republicans so heavily.
As an outsider who only loosely follows these things, what makes Ted Cruz particularly bad compared to others?
