Republicans won 4 out of 5 races for governor during the hotly contested 2018 midterm elections on Tuesday. Up for grabs were 435 seats in the House and 35 out of 100 seats in the Senate.
The combined star power of Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sean Combs, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift were not enough to carry their candidates over the finish line. Every candidate endorsed by former President Obama lost their race.
Democratic Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum quickly conceded to Trump-endorsed Ron DeSantis in the governor’s race after 99% of precincts reported.
In the Georgia governor’s race Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams refused to concede to Brian Kemp after 100% of precincts reported.
Abrams, 44, declared she would not concede to Kemp until every single vote was counted.
“I’m here tonight to tell you votes remain to be counted,” Abrams told her supporters early Wednesday. “There’s voices that are waiting to be heard.”
Abrams hopes absentee ballots will give her enough votes to force a runoff with Kemp.
“Across our state folks are opening up the dreams of voters in absentee ballots, and we believe our chance for a stronger Georgia is just within reach. But we cannot seize it until voices are heard,” Abrams said.
Abrams’ supporters urged her not to concede. They cited the Republicans’ voter suppression tactics such as a lack of voting machines in certain precincts.
One Twitter user wrote:
“I’m so glad Stacey isn’t conceding, Brian Kemp absolutely stole this election with no recourse…count every damn vote that made it thru…I’m over feckless Democrats…thank you @staceyabrams for your fight!”
In other key races Texas Democratic Senate candidate Robert “Beto” O’Rourke conceded to incumbent Senator Ted Cruz, who needed every vote to defeat the media rock star.
Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez of New York City became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress at age 28.
Republican Senate candidate John James of Michigan lost his bid to upset incumbent Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow.
And Maxine Waters, who has been named California’s most corrupt politician, was elected chairwoman of the Financial Services Committee. Let that sink in.
O’Rourke, 36, raised $70 million in donations to challenge Cruz, who only raised $40 million.
The Democrats celebrated after retaking control of the House of Representatives, but Dems taking the House was expected.
Traditionally the current administration in the White House loses the House in the first midterm after a presidential election.
By comparison, former President Barack Obama lost 64 seats in the House after his first midterm elections. Obama also lost both the House and the Senate to the Republicans.
The Republicans picked up 5 seats in the Senate, which rarely occurs after a presidential election.
Maintaining control of the Senate was crucial for Trump to appoint more Supreme Court justices and confirm them quickly when a seat opens up on the Supreme Court.
Retaking the House puts the Democrats back in control of the nation’s economy, which means higher taxes and a looming recession on the horizon.
It also means Trump will get his border wall built, but it will take more time since the Democrats now control the nation’s budget.
The Democrats will likely start impeachment proceedings against Trump and launch more Russia investigations to waste taxpayer dollars. But Trump will veto any bills coming out of the House.
President Bill Clinton was impeached by a Republican controlled House but he was acquitted by the Senate.
In other words, the House has little governing power.
President Trump was optimistic after the outcome of Tuesday’s midterm elections.
He tweeted:
“Received so many Congratulations from so many on our Big Victory last night, including from foreign nations (friends) that were waiting me out, and hoping, on Trade Deals. Now we can all get back to work and get things done!”
More money was spent on the 2018 midterm elections than in any midterms in U.S. history. Billions poured into campaign coffers from mega wealthy donors hoping to flip red states blue.
Political analysts say the much-anticipated “blue wave” was more like a puddle.
The combined star power of Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sean Combs, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift were not enough to carry their candidates over the finish line.

Maryland didn’t do that bad. A lot of my family voted Jealous but I voted Hogan because he has been good to the people thus far. Some of the things he cares like healthcare I am for. Other things I voted Democrat. My friends in Cali was glad Pelosi won.
I cannot believe a lot of black women voted against Gillum?????
I’m still on Joie Chavis’ IG.
I’m independent. I’m truly sick of Dems and Republicans honestly. “Every rich man for himself” is the motto they live by. The only time they choose to mingle with the poor, is when they want our votes (around election time). But we shall see if things get better. I voted, so we shall see.
Those candidates were used for the top of the ticket and will be repayed nicely with a house or senate seat in the next few years. Dems were able to take back the house because the top of the ticket was attractive which brought out more voters and they won in areas of those states that they weren’t able too just two years ago.
why what’s pahpin over there?
Joie is pahpin lol. She is indeed beautiful. I go to her IG from time to time.
The beach.

I voted for Jealous also Hogan is killing our schools
I don’t follow her, let me go for a e-stroll through her life via pichas BRB
CT elected the first black woman from the state to represent us in Congress, Jahana Hayes!! I stomped for this woman and I am sooo glad she won. She is a former national teacher of the year and will do well in DC. Elated!!
Quite frankly Stacey Abrams should not concede this race until Brian Kemp is taken to court to fully explore all the things that went wrong at polling places all across the great state of Georgia. It was Brian Kemp’s JOB to make sure everyone eligible was able to exercise their constitutional right to vote and instead he sent machines with no electrical plugs to polling stations, polling places did not have paper ballots, machines were broken and lines were insufferably long. This man has been disenfranchising voters for years and his day of reckoning has come. Enough is enough.
That being said, the DEMOCRATS taking the house is a BIG WIN! Also.. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3ea80f7abe052587a7de383ebc2bc63a01d99f15aa8aefd8fa4cf3f7edb72e1c.jpg
Well here in NC the success story for me personally wasnt about seats etc. Folks who been needed to go still in there….and that is not gonna change here. Its why Jesse Helms was allowed to stay so long.
But we DID manage to get rid of our longtime racist arse mayo sheriff in this here capital county. Which is not unheard of for us bc a black man also IRONICALLY of the same last name of the NEWLY elected sheriff…served here for a quarter century (RIP to John Baker) up til 2003.
Anyways congrats to Sheriff Gerald Baker and welcome.
https://www.cbs17.com/news/your-local-election-hq/baker-unseats-longtime-wake-county-sheriff-harrison/1577867699
a big win! of course some will try to play this down!
I wonder if she’ll listen to me freestyle.
I voted straight “red” ballot yesterday for the 1st time as an Independent,so Abrams did not get my vote nor was it owed to her.
I know this is probably a blow to the entertainers and even the egotistical Obama that all of the people they campaigned for lost.So glad to see that President Trump gained seats in the Senate because the Senate is, ‘where it is at”…..
Sending mad energy to my Black people who I saw with “BLEXIT” shirts on at the polls.
Stacy’s loss is heartbreaking, but if she had to be a sacrificial lamb in the bigger effort to neuter Trump’s legislative authority, I’m at peace with her L! His abuse of unchecked power over the last 2 years was the much sharper thorn in my a$$. Stacy and Andrew’s win would’ve been icing on the cake – and I’m devastated by their defeat, but having Trump’s legislative legs kicked from under him is a sweet enough consolation prize for me to lick my wounds and move on.
But they dems didn’t lose, folks got out and voted and the dems took the house which was the actual goal.
Exactly. We’re coming for Trump’s orange taint lace front.
lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Just post your soundcloud info in her comments like everyone else does. She is gawjuss though
Thank you, exactly. And btw, (Elevated soul & Dontgetblocked) is the same person. Just wanted to put that out there.
Lol
Michigan legalized marijuana.
I might buy me a lil starter home in Detroit.
No big winners no big losers. Dems did what they needed to do as far as the house and republicans to a strong hold on the Senate. Can’t believe how much money the democrats raised smh and still had very close races all over the country
What’s ridiculous about Stacey Abram’s loss is that her opponent, Brian Kemp, was Secretary of State WHILE running for governor. The Secretary of State oversees the states elections. In the last week of the election he — without any evidence — accused Democrats of vote tampering. It was an obvious dog whistle. Only Republicans go low like this, seriously.
Stacey got close, but it just wasn’t time yet. Georgia isn’t quite ready for a black governor, but her campaign was still inspiring and lays the groundwork for the black/Democratic governor who will eventually win that office. It might take 6-10 years, but it will happen for sure.
+7 in state governors though. Makes it a lot harder for Republicans in those states to gerrymander, which is a big reason why they had the House in the first place. It wasn’t a bad night, but I think people had unnecessarily high expectations. Mid-2017 taking back the House did not seem possible.
It might be a decade-plus before Dems get the Senate back. But yeah, it was always a pipe dream this election. Fivethirtyeight had predictions at 1 in 6, which I thought was wildly optimistic.
I believe we’re going to get the Senate in 2020. The house was the first goal.
really thought Beto had it. cant shame dems for “celebrity power” when another celeb has daily rally’s paid for by the tax payers that scares folks and have racist messages.
Texas. Senate Seat. so CLOSE the votes. Texas. Overwhelmingly a “red” state had such a close race. Kudos for Beto for giving it all and invigorating voters.
Bass… I believe that… & that person is whyte… then have the nerve to use black images to hide his/her true identity.
I agree it wasn’t a bad night on either end. But nothing will get done for the next two years smh more fake news and investigations
Low-key one of the biggest changes: Florida is restoring the voting rights of felons not convicted of murder and sex crimes. Over 1 million people. That’s a big freaking deal in a purple state.
A foregone conclusion, that’s why Trump concentrated on the Senate (more powerful than House). Actually the House has been an embarrassment for years. It’s time the people put the pressure on their congressmen and ask to see their taxes (extremely self serving)! Check them out.
Why didn’t Andrew force a runoff the Florida numbers were to close
It’ll make it a lot easier for Mueller’s findings to go public. Also, the House is going to be subpoena-ing White House staff like crazy. So, yeah, I expect the investigation stuff to start to ramp up for sure.
Huge. That could help tip the state to the Democrats in 2020. This is bad for Trump of course, even though he probably doesn’t even realize it yet.
Take me with you…
These black politicians must stop supporting every democratic issue. Everything liberal IS NOT in the best interest of the black community. Black politicians have become nothing more than white liberals disguised in BlackFace.
This is really not a lost for the black community. We need black leaders with basic common sense who will make the black community their top priority.
– No to keeping black kids trapped in horrible ghetto schools
producing millions of functionally illiterate black adults.
-No to Millions of Illegals taking jobs, government resources and
suppressing wages. This ALSO HURTS BLACK
BUSINESSES trying to hire low skilled blacks
-No to socialism over capitalism ie black business entrepreneurs
-No to Tranny’s in the rest room with little girls
I could list many more but I won’t.
It’s just really sad. I voted for Stacey the day early voting began but to be totally honest about it – my vote had more to do with the restoration of check/balances within our government – something this president doesn’t appreciate. Her win would’ve made it even sweeter, but in the end I got exactly what I wanted.
They are less than 10 seats from control it all depends on who is the top of the ticket for President. And just like when Obama won in 08 so does everyone under him.
I agree. An Elizabeth Warren-Beto O’Rourke ticket can beat Trump in 2020. The Democrats need a fighter to take on Trump, and both of those 2 are fighters. When Trump swings, they’ll swing back… which is something Hillary Clinton didnt do enough of in 2016.
didn’t realize that.
Oh yeah! Lol we can spilt the mortgage
Hillary was barely present in 2016. She was high on the fumes of ego and hubris, expecting a win that never came. A missed opportunity.
Dems can no longer search for history. They have to be smart. Only way to win is to run a white man vs a white man.
Dekalb since you put it like that I can go on too…I need a TALL glass of wine
Two of the same ass okay
yes ma’am. the purpose was to unite against Trump’s proxies!
Because they got what they wanted out of that race, House seats.
No surprises. At all. Amerikkka gonna Amerikkka.
“It also means Trump will get his border wall built, but it will take more time since the Democrats now control the nation’s budget”
Correction: The Federal Reserve (on behalf of the International Banking Cartel) from which the House of Reps get their funding from control the nation’s budget.
Yup. One more positive tidbit – Maxine Waters, Trump’s favorite target with remarks about her “low IQ” will now Chair the House Financial Services Committee – the very group with authority to subpoena his tax returns and bank records to look into financial crimes within the Trump Organization LOL Let’s see how much he has to say about that brain of hers now.
I still don’t think he loss. We all know they cheated
Candidates like Abrams and Gillum losing (both barely) doesn’t change the fact that other candidates, like Ilhan Omar, won.
You do know who runs the federal reserve, right? It all comes through the president
“I’m so glad Stacey isn’t conceding, Brian Kemp absolutely stole this election with no recourse…count every damn vote that made it thru…I’m over feckless Democrats…thank you @staceyabrams for your fight!”
****
AGREED.
As a convicted felon myself, I am glad for this. The problem is, the assumption is that they are all going to vote Democrat, when in fact a lot of them are not.
Same thing with illegal immigration, Democrats assume that once they are all given the right to vote, that they will all vote Democrat. Hispanics moral/social values align more with Republicans than Democrat however.
Gillum won. But I think Florida is dangerous and he was behind the scenes threatened. I believe this. Because he absolutely and beautifully ran and won that race.
In other words, the House has little governing power. Keep thinking that they already are forcing his hand when it comes to his taxes?
Threatened? Lol Cut out the conspiracy theories smh he ran a great race but got beat by a few votes, period. Florida has had close Senate and governor races for a long time. This one was no different
Yup. She (and most of the Democrats) never took him seriously enough. But now we’re on to his evil, race-baiting, fear-mongering ways. The right candidate can and will expose him for the political conman that he is.
LOL my girl voted Dem for everything except Abrams…..something about her bringing Oprah, and Obama, etc, to tell us how we should feel and how we should vote, rubbed her the wrong way
Auntie you sound very bitter
It’s been two years and they haven’t even started on a wall. Sad, gullible fools.
Do you mind telling us how you reached this conclusion? ( If it’s a trade secret you don’t have to tell. Just curious. )
These fools don’t shyt!
But Mexico is supposed to be paying for the wall let Dump tell it…so it shouldn’t matter
Legislatively, they have ALL the power. All of Trumps rollbacks of Obama’s initiatives, which he, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan made a point to do from the get-go, come to a screeching halt. Healthcare is now protected; anything Trump wants to do legislatively has to be approved. That hasn’t been the case for the past two years.
You do realize there are three branches of government for the purposes of checks and balances, right? If Trump has the final say, the wall would be built. With Democratic control of the congress, none of his administrative policies will get approved, and he’s going to face a litany of investigations, if not impeachment articles. His next 2 years will not be pleasant.
They can subpoena his taxes. And they can protect Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. They can protect him if Trump tries to fire him, and they can protect his report when he issues it. Otherwise, a Republican-led Intelligence Committee could have taken Mueller’s report, classified it, and buried it from public view. The Dems will make sure it sees the light of day.
It’s about time. My family members have been saying for a while that the police don’t bother people smoking in public
Trump has done most things through Executive Order, not by getting new legislation passed. Executive orders allow him to not have to go through Congress, but there is only so much they can do, and that’s why they end up in court (i.e. the travel ban and immigration policy changes)
True. 1.. The Affordable Care Act is safe for at least these two years, and 2.. The Dems can put forward a long overdue infrastructure bill (which Trump wouldn’t dare veto since he campaigned talking about infrastructure).
No, he used the House as well because they were controlled by Republicans. You can only go so far with Execitive Orders. He couldn’t repeal Obamacare with an Execitive Order or it would’ve been done long ago.
Exactly.
If there’s a runoff Dec. 4th I’m voting again, believe that!! Especially after seeing Dems clean House, literally. LOL
And where’s Trump’s infrastructure bill he talked about in 2016? He didnt even propose one. All the Republicans did was try A)to kill Obamacare, and B).. Give a tax cut that mostly benefited the rich and corporations.
Mortgage? You can get a decent brick house for about $10,000 in the city. That excludes all the video surveillance, and armored doors and windows you’ll need.
Exactly. Executive orders aren’t blank checks, as he has found out time and time again. There’s a reason why checks and balances exist.
What we’ve seen clearly the past few years is that Republicans are good at winning elections (by cheating, gerrymandering, voter intimidation, fearmongering, etc.). But they’re not good at governing.
Now maybe we’ll finally get some real governing with the Democrats having control of the house.
She was going to give illegals the same rights as blacks and make Georgia a sanctuary state like California. There is not one city nor state where blacks have benefited economically, academically nor socially from a large influx of illegals. Millions of illegals just puts blacks under another group of racist people who hate blacks. She also wants to keep poor black kids trapped in horrible ghetto public schools. This is not a lost for the black community.
Trump will just ignore the subpoenas.
Who’s going to arrest him–no one in his own DOJ and definitely not his handpicked AG.
Yeah but like we saw yesterday you got to get the people to the polls.
Somehow I think the Republican controlled Florida government will throw a monkey wrench into ex-felons being able to vote.
The only thing that got approved in both the house and senate was the tax changes. The Affordable Care Act did not get repealed because there were not enough votes to even get it through the senate, but he has signed some executive orders to change some aspects of the ACA, some executive orders to roll back EPA policies, etc. The reason why he doesn’t have the wall is because the budget to fund it didn’t get approved in the senate. However all those senators that were willing to vote against him chose not to run again. Things will fly through the Senate now, but will not get passed in the House that is now under democratic control.
Yep so true.
They’ll get the tax returns from the IRS. The House Ways & Means Committee can get the tax returns of any U.S. citizen. They don’t need Trump’s approval or cooperation.
Yeah I didn’t get that either it was way to close.
She must be Republican
Clear conflict of interest. He should have stepped down.
Why?
Gillum got fewer votes than Hillary and the where he needed to turn out the vote in Broward and Miami-Dade didn’t come through.
Even the South Florida based female news anchor who comes on during the TJMS was saying during early voting that the numbers weren’t going to be enough for Gillum to win.
I wonder if anyone from the Gillum campaign paid attention.
Another thing is some of the precincts in Miami-Dade or Broward said they couldn’t transmit the vote totals electronically so they had to take thumb drives to the election headquarters and transfer the voting data.
If that doesn’t sound shady I don’t know what does especially since they were the last precincts that reported their votes.
I’m sorry but America will never elect a female president.
O’Rourke is a flash in the pan and how is he going to run after being out of office for over a year?
This is a bad day for Trumpettes. But losing the House was BIG. Last night marked the end of one-party rule in this country, and it will finally put a check and balance on Trump, a man who never had to deal with any checks and balances before in his life before going to Washington.
That’s the reason why I’m so pissed at Gillum….He just conceded without a fight
Yeah most definitely disappointed. Even though I voted for her I figured a lot of these white folks down here wouldn’t.
There are millions of blacks who will not vote for another BlackFace politician like Obama by either just not voting or voting republicans. Secondly, Trump is going to get about 30 percent of the black vote regardless of who runs against him….Black or white.
The elected over a 100 women last night. The electorate is changing. Warren and O’Rourke could be a good ticket. But the dems will have to nominate a women their voting block is becoming just that.
You know I know that is why president tangerine was tripping on Twitter this morning. ?
Yasssss…. “Talk that ish” ??????
Exactly that’s that’s why Trump was meeting with his lawyers last night, he knows ish just got real.
your right
I’m sorry which republican has cheated?
But trump racist ass backing kemp didn’t? Smh..
Here’s what real people think of hollyweirdos
Taylor Swift for Phil Bredesen-lost
Oprah Winfrey for Stacey Abrams-lost
Beyonce for Beto O’Rourke-lost
Rihanna for Andrew Gillum-lost
T.I. for Ben Jealous-lost
That was dumb I don’t think anyone told them how to vote and who to vote for. Just pointing out that you should vote.
Then what?
Nothing in them is going to change anyone’s minds even so-called Independents.
I live in Florida and can’t believe that both of our U.S. Senators are Republican as well as the governor.
Republicans have controlled the governor’s mansion for the last quarter century and the legislature since 1992 yet we have all of these problems including red tide and these fools continue to vote for them because they are afraid they may pay state income taxes.
All budgets begin in the House, but Trump will use the House as a foil if he decides to run for re-election in 2020.
But how many house seats in those districts were picked up. It was never ever about those candidates winning just getting enough people to the polls so the house seat in that district can be won.
OH god. What nonsense. You can’t even take those allegations seriously from a guy like you.
He can ignore it all he wants, but if the House wants his tax returns and financial records, that’s exactly what they’ll get. Republicans quickly concluded their investigation into his crimes because legislatively they were getting what they wanted on the back end. Now it’s time to take a REAL look into his finances.
So?
Why did 53% of white women vote against HIllary?
Because white women prefer men in positions of power.
Women are vicious and petty toward each other something you never see among men.
This!!!!! Thank you
Trump can still fire Mueller regardless of the House.
The can subpoena his taxes all day long. Won’t make any difference at all.
The Dems will only make sure the report sees the light of day if there is something they can benefit from.
So. They’re gonna get the returns from one of the most powerful organizations in the gov’t that what.. never bothered to check them out? So the Dems are gonna find all kinda stuff that the stupid IRS just missed. Got it.
The only thing those tax returns are going to show is that his net worth isn’t what he claims it to be and he owes Russia a lot of money.
Two things that won’t change anyone’s mind.
He can fire Mueller, but the house can retain him and allow him to continue his investigation.
All of em
The IRS is under the executive branch.
Again good luck. It will go to the Supreme Court and with all of the right wing judges McConnell has pushed through I am sure at least a couple will side with Trump.
I’m assuming because the campaign that has been run against Hillary since she was first lady is in bedded in folks mind. 53% of white women will not vote for Trump a 2nd time.
We’ll see. You can keep sipping on that bitterness and negativity all you want… but there are some of us that recognize that a shift is beginning to take place.
MLJ: Now maybe we’ll finally get some real governing with the Democrats having control of the House.
Well don’t be surprised if funding for Trump’s wall is included in some type of comprehensive immigration reform bill.
Georgia is becoming a purple state. With the demographics shifts taking place down here, it’s only a matter of time. The GOP is desperately trying to hold on to their stranglehold on power, but they can only hold on for so long .
They were always willing to give him that for some type of meaningful comprise they offered it too him before and he played them and then he never got it.
But since Democrats were the minorities in both chambers they had some cover because the bill would have required only a couple of Democrats from each chamber to have voted for an immigration bill.
But now Democrats are going to be exposed because Pelosi will have to craft an immigration bill to explain to their base why they compromised with Trump and gave him his wall.
Of course the Republican base won’t give a damn if that’s what they are told to do because this entire immigration issue has been a scam to keep the Republican base going to the polls.
That only means the Republicans will have to come up with a new boogyman for 2002 or recycle an old one.
It’s going to be too late for some of us.
ugh….don’t have time to discuss this political mess…so see yall next post…
I disagree.
Trump was able to activate that 53% of white women in those red states that took down Democratic U.S. Senator and denied Gillum and Abrams their chances to become governors.
I think the base will get why they compromised. I think the democratic base is actually fine with the shared power its the other side not so much. The Republicans are going to run against Hillary and Obama and Pelosi, but I think in the next year she decides not to run for re-election.
Chiiile ain nutn happ’n over there ither
People probably thought that there would never be an African-American president either. People probably thought that Jim Crow would last forever. People probably thought that slavery would be eternal. Where there’s a will there’s a way.
His base is his base, that won’t change but he will need to expand if he wants too win in 2020.
No, it wasn’t big and the Dems know that. They were already crying when they realized their blue wave was nothing more than a trickle. Trump did better than Clinton and Obama during the midterms. The House cannot do anything without the Senate!
Tells you what kind of leader he would have been. At least Abrams is fighting. And I’m not a fan of her, at all.
Not if movements like #walkaway and people like Boyce Watkins can continue to convince black people not to vote.
Unfortunately I think it was effective and that’s why Gillum lost and Abrams is going to lose.
No matter how anyone spins it, all oversight committees will now be chaired and controlled by Democrats. The BUDGET is controlled by Democrats. No more grandstanding and making moves that a plurality of people don’t agree with, that stops. The House has the subpoena power and anything that involves a bag must be approved by the Democrats. Cut and dried.
But Obama was still a man.
I know most people aren’t into astrology but America is the archtype of the nurturing mother which goes against the idea of a woman being president.
Stacey Abrams needs to concede and move on. If this heads to a runoff, she’s going to suffer an embarrassing loss. Georgians don’t want her or her socialist policies.
So funny that Dems think controlling the House means anything. The Senate is where it moves forward or goes to die. Republicans control that and thank God for it.
They need to focusing on 2020 and which candidate their going to prop up or get ready for another 4 years of MAGA!
Read in the New York Magazine that Mueller is about to indict some people and don jnr. is one of them.
It’s not bitterness it’s reality.
Every election cycle Republicans come up with an even more devious plan to suppress the vote of the Democratic base.
This year it was the #walkaway movement and then there was a concerted effort on social media including YouTube to convince black people not to vote.
For a state like Florida where most statewide elections are won or lost by less than a percentage point black people sitting out an election can be a game changer.
And Vice Versa
But if Gillum had been elected he would have had some imput on the next redistricting after the 2020 census.
The same goes for Abrams and Georgia already has 18 electoral votes or 16 congressional districts and both Georgia and Florida are going to gain seats after the next census.
When then at that point those black people deserve what they get.
True, but those states are VERY RED they needed them to be competitive enough to get those house seats. Abrams may not have a say in if she concedes if votes are still out there that can push him under 50% a run-off is the law.
There is a story on media take out that majority of black women in Florida voted for desantis.
Can you roll up?
What that mouth do?
I caught the shade at Obama in the write up but he isn’t the blame for the candidates he endorsed losing. People like who they like. People loved and respected Obama, so they came out in droves to vote for him. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party hasn’t found the right candidate to energize the party the way Obama did. Until then we have to keep pushing forward and not lose hope.
Agree, she needs to go all they way with this as far as she can go. Someone up top said it would be embarrassing for her if she doesn’t concede – I totally disagree.
I’m not really sure how you’re arriving at the nurturing mother archetype based on the fact that this country was founded on slave labor and mass decimation of Native Americans. Also, the 500 billion dollars that goes to the defense budget, in my opinion, has clearly established the US as warmongers, not nurturers. I read recently how scientists did DNA testing on a viking warrior who was given a prestigious burial and were surprised to find that the deceased was a woman. Even in ancient, male dominated societies, there were women who were leaders. Although improbable, it isn’t impossible.
Yeah, it would have “meant something” if the GOP kept the House, but now it means nothing because Democrats won it. I’m not sure if you’re just ignorant of why it’s actually a big deal, or if you’re just being a hypocrite. Either way it’s bad. smh
Say it louder so “Anonymouse” up top can hear you… since he/she thinks it’s not such a big deal.
I don’t believe that.
Maybe a small percentage but it would not have been that close if a majority of black women had voted for Desantis.
I like Gilliam’s position on stand your ground…. but that’s about all I got.
GOP lost the house ? but kept the senate… Now we will watch more fake trump investigations … nothing will get done
OK the U.S. natal chart has three planets in Cancer (Sun, Venus, and Jupiter).
The reason that America is a warmongering nation is because Cancer is a sensitive sign and male Cancers have a difficult time with that part of their personalities so they overcompensate by attempting to appear hyper-masculine which manifests itself in the obsession this country has with the military and war.
Also the U.S. Mar (god of war) is in Gemini which is why we have military bases all over the world.
I was talking about the House of Representatives and how those seats are going to be gerrymandered.
We have to suffer too.
Yup. The truth will come out, and Trump cant stop it. That’s a beautiful thing.
Interesting.
“Every candidate endorsed by former President Obama lost their race” lol
Exactly. And multiple European countries currently female heads of state (Germany, Britain, and Norway to name a few) and it’s been that way for decades.
America is a bit behind, but we’ll get there too. It’s only a matter of time.
He wont expand his base though. He’s too bigoted to genuinely reach out and appeal to minority groups…. which is fine with me. Every single day the electorate becomes younger and more racially diverse. I think 2020 is the year when that really ends up biting Trump and the GOP in the butt.
YUP…except she’s not a US citizen
I’m not heartbroken, but I’m disappointed, because this race was definitely winnable. Somebody posted this online:

I’m mad at Ohio I know that.
How? I’m simply reporting the news.
I really need demographics on who voted for Ted Cruz because I’m wondering if the self hating Latino population here in Texas kept him in office.
I wasn’t as emotionally invested in Stacey’s win as I was Gilliam’s because although I voted for her, I knew the path to victory was narrow here in GA. But I was somehow convinced that Gilliam had it in the bag, so his loss really stung. Especially after the racially charged robocalls and dog whistles targeting both candidates. It’s really disheartening, but I find solace in knowing that Trumps legislative castle keys have been snatched. That gives me peace.
Praise God!
I agree with you. Republicans have been in control of the House and Senate for the last 6 years and haven’t introduced didly squat. They’ve had plenty of time to introduce a bill with immigration reform.
With your sprinkles of shade at the Democrats throughout the write up ?
They did…and it makes no sense
Benedict Donald’s free ride is OVER!!! ???

The bad: The Democrats took control of the House. The good: Celebrities and money cannot buy elections. Oprah knocking on doors in GA, Taylor Swift issuing a first time endorsement in TN and Diddy dancing on stage for Gillum…all failed. Republicans still control the Senate so Trump’s confirmations of judges shall continue. Desantis!!! Our taxes are still low!
I know that GA was cheated! But Ill carry on….There is no way that…no way I am going to believe that there wasn’t some f’ery with this election or any of these elections for that matter. Again, no one wants to discuss the mass internet issues that took place yesterday ….
I am so tired of them reeking of desperation all the time. I knew they did this.
All of the voter suppression was real, but I will say we need to gear up for 2020. I have looked at some of the possible candidates, and honestly Gavin will be the only one who will be able to bring this country back. Take the focus off of Trump, and focus on how we need to win.

Why isn’t anybody holding DT accountable for campaigning on having Mexico pay for the wall?
How did “Lyin Ted” and Don get to be such great friends?
To those who Lost, Remember to , try and Make the most of the best and the best of the worst, and keep your standards high. Never settle for anything less than you deserve or are capable of achieving. People with a working Brain know that there was/is two crooks who won, so it’s safe to say that they may still be called to testify on their behalf in court, before it’s all said , and done.
Many of us who are looking at things as they has happened that the Republicans has crooked and n00ked their way into the game once again. What I like at the end of the day is that even without those who we wanted to Win, at least we got the House to try, and make for sure that this Daffy Duck Fellow has Some Checks and Balances, thank you Jesus, and that’s a good start.

Yes that’s what I was saying earlier. Since Trump’s got so much to say about her IQ, let’s see if she knows how to read tax returns since Maxine now chairs a commitee with authority to subpoena them. The irony of it all!
I don’t believe many folks are gonna turn out for the 20/20 Presidential election as they did for this Midterm. This midterm was historic. Some folks are still upset
BWAHAHAHAHAHA….Obama proved to be useless once again along with his sidekick Oprah. Now if they put this loser to the forefront again in 2020 the DemoCrap party is not only stupid but need to be COMPLETELY demolished and reevaluated for senility….! Bye Obama….The DemoCraps lost more than 1,030 seats in state legislatures, governor’s mansions and Congress during Obama’s presidency. NO DEMOCRAPS it’s not all about color and minorities….GIVE IT UP….! Stop with the identity politics
The DemoCraps were expecting the BLUE WAVE and it turned out to be a whimper. This was actually a big night for Trump. The Republicans that were in lock step with him won hands down and those that weren’t got the boot. The Trump agenda has been cemented. Gridlock government can’t do anymore damage than it already has. The DemoCraps took an even bigger azz whipping in the 2010 midterms than the GOP did last night…and Obama was a lame duck then too! However, Pelosi, Waters, Schiff, Cummings, et alii, on assuming House leadership, will turn the House into a nonproductive, highly partisan circus, setting the stage for a Republican resurgence in 2020.
The GOP majority in the House was also doomed, midterm or not, due to the number of retirements they had that left open seats. Thus, we see the true purpose of the Constitution: to minimize the effects of populism. The rabble of the house will be contained. With the senate majority Trumps appointees can be pushed through and clean up more DEEP STATE scum.
Even if the DemoCraps can get something past the Senate through the reconciliation process Trump can simply veto it and say let’s negotiate a better deal. BWAHAHAHA Of course, The idiot Dems will probably try to impeach Trump and the senate will never proceed with it. They can stick a fork in the Russian Collusion lie and Impeachment….it’s done. Oh, by the way….I hope they’d make Ocrazio-Cortez house majority speaker we are really going to need the laughs going forward.
On another note, Beto has been vanquished, Gillum trash canned and Abrams kicked to the curb. Hollywood has failed once again…! BWAHAHA The downside will is our being subjected to having to look at the mugs of Pelosi, Schiff and Waters courtesy of the MSM for the next 2 years.
Just giving my take on last night’s election. I’m lovin it…! Sure the DemoCraps won’t quit hassling Trump, dreaming up concoctions, even though they’ve continuously failed. They are a mentally ill group who can’t live in a civilized society. Hey…it’s going to get crazier. Get ready….!
NO….I’M NOT REPLYING TO THE LOST, BRAINWASHED, UNINFORMED, MENTALLY DERANGED INDIVIDUALS…! Apologies to the handful who are well-informed…! Don’t give up…!
I guess when it comes to winning, you can call his wife a pig any day.
The cheating shows they lack integrity, how powerful the black vote really is, and how afraid they are of us waking up!
Amen.
That’s how good he is. Trump throws so much crap at the wall that you forget what came before as soon as he says the next Big Lie.
Trust me we won’t hear about those caravans again any time soon either.
Gov. Scott Walker, who moved Wisconsin to the right over the last eight years, cutting taxes and sharply diminishing the power of labor unions, was defeated on Tuesday by the Democrat, Tony Evers, the state schools superintendent,This was one that I was so happy about.
For some reason y-t does not want us to get ahead. What are they so afraid of?
Hahahahahahaha
Get Him Auntee..
Hats off to the women that ran, and the women that won! It was a historic election.
Hey Daffy Duck who all are you gone fire next. I want Democrats to tap dance on that box butt. We will see what happens in the next few months…Now he’s threatening his Republicans, he says many of them lost because they wasn’t kissy, kissy to his b00ty.
Daffy don’t have full reigns right now, and he want his Followers will learn that God is running things.
He been attacking the Media for the last few years, no who is he going to Blame for not getting things now. That’s right Daffy get ready to try , and beat the wheels off all Democrats, Mr Duck. You accused the Democrats of being Evil people so let Us see how you will deal with these evil people. His as woke up this morning knowing that there’s some people who will; check that as.
The man has no Loyalty to any one.
Even those who supports Him , Daffy still find a way to trash, and beat them down.
Is it true that he endorsed so many, and so many lost.
I hope people don’t get discouraged. If Obama can take the White House then we have power, and reason to not quit. We have to mobilize and push who we want to represent us to the forefront. I’m from the Bay, so this view is a little bias. I love Gavin! Every since he started moving up the ranks in S.F. His charismatic personality, and the way he fights is something else. He had a little dirt, but hey that’s for his wife to deal with.(Good looking white boy imo lol)… His policies are on point with the real issues we face here in C.A. housing issues,homeless issues,GAS is high as giraffe coochie. I can keep going, but I’m done.lol
Im so mad with GA and Florida! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/003dea798576d64cc38a1862d35511b47aabd55bff9393c1a3ce29b8fcc7183d.jpg

lolll
This post is not even remotely hiding the fact that the writer is pro-republican.
They sho did. It’s about time they put Odumba out to pasture.
Odumba was an affirmative action president. They voted for Odumba because of his skin color. They wanted the first black president who turned out to be the Manchurian candidate. Now that we’re down to real politics Odumba doesn’t count because he’s useless.
The senate is the real power. The only legislative organization in America more exclusive than the House is the Senate.They gained seats but not real power.
Senate has more power though.
Sorry Demoncrats your blue wave was nothing but a swirl around the drain.

I think Ms Rose is a repub. My dad is too! Love em both. Even tho I’m a dem. No biggie guys! We all can’t agree. However, there is dignity for all to gain who open up to respectful disagreement!
Happy Dance Time.
I live in Wisconsin…bye Scott Walker! Miss me all EVERYTHING you did here. On Wisconsin!
Shut up white troll
Yes!…Raleigh area here…I’m glad the racist sheriff is gone!
They know when we finally show up, we show out.
Still victorious and it goes to show how much of a punk ass they are to have to steal elections.
Its sad that less than 20% of African Americans voted in Texas.
Yep. A lot of people will get in bed together for power and $$$. Values go right out the window.
He’s talking to the wrong people/Congress. He should be talking to Mexico. That’s what he said!
Why doesn’t his base call him on it?
*going over to tmz to ask*
Trump’s base is a bunch of zombies they don’t have the brains to form a though just repeat whatever Trump says.
Stacey should fight this all the way to the Supreme Court.
Yeah, a black face basically extincting blacks, by prioritizing illegals? No thanks. I’ll take the other white racist who’s gonna keep Mexicans OUT. We don’t need additional racists here.
Man, LOL. Exactly!
Right on! I didn’t see any BLEXIT shirts at the polls or anywhere yet but I live in a BLUE state. One of the black women working at the polls, I overheard her joke to someone saying “it’s all BLUE here!” As she laughed. If only she could’ve seen my ballot.
Nah. The raging crazy partisan blue black women I know wanted it ALL. Losing the senate matters big time.
the dums have the house and maxine with a small “m” is controlling the purse string? God help us! President Trump use your EXECUTIVE ORDERS to what you need todo for this country and make sure maxine with a small “m” is not stealing from the coffers…smh God Bless America
Yes God is running things thats why He BLESSED Trump t be President!
She is such an embarrassment.
Look at Africa and the inner cities and any other brown and black country! I would be afraid too!
You said it all so sweet. Go Trump!!!
Yes he did, and when he get tired of Daffy clowning his people (God People)
he’s going to snatch a knot in his as, and slap a slob out of his lying mouth.
Much ado about nothing. The Republicans kept the all important Senate. Key states elected Republican governors. Hopefully, the cry baby Dems will do something noteworthy that will make people want to vote for them in 2020. I doubt it. They will waste time on a Russian probe that will go absolutely nowhere. They’ll also raise taxes and put us in a recession.
I love it that you have nothing but good things to say about Daffy, and I know that unless you are one of his children, and have over 10 Million in your bank account
Daffy would not throw water on yo as if you was on fiyaaaah.
They know we are Powerful beyond all measures, because when
we stick together as a people, the sky is the limit.
She’s leveled up to one thousand and ten. She’ll be screaming and throwing accusations. Just acting like a wild woman. I hope her wig doesn’t fly off.
They are bitter because black/brown people will out number whites when it is all said and done.
That’s in the back of people minds, but many know that Daffy is the biggest liar in the History of the 44 President before him all melted and poured together.,..
He can’t remember what he said ten minutes later
he lies so dang much.
His base is weak old hags , whose having trouble remembering what dang day it is.
Right!!!!!
When he get through bleeding people dry for their Taxes, Raises
and people having a hard time they will be running in droves to vote his as out.
It was a nice night for the Republicans. We threw them a bone… the House which is full of moderate and conservative Democrats. They will vote lock step with President Trump. Pelosi will rage and scream but like Maxine Waters do a whole bunch of nothing.
Daffy is hooked on stupid going no place. He brags so much
and when you want to give him the benefit of the doubt he does something else stupid.
It won’t be funny when we slid into a recession. It’s already starting.
Thanks Ohio for a staunch Trump supporter as your new governor. No president has ever won the election without Ohio. See you in November 2020.
29 House seats flipped so far with a good shot at flipping at least half a dozen more once all the results come in.
Seven governors’ seats flipped.
Six legislative chambers flipped bringing the total number we’ve flipped up to seven this cycle.
Four Republican state legislature super majorities broken
In total, Democrats flipped over 290 individual state legislative races last night bringing our total on the cycle up to over 330 this is amazing
even though there was some Major loses.
Four states voted to expand voting rights, including a constitutional amendment in Florida that will restore voting rights to more than 1 million people with felony records, Yo as can stay bitter and pressed.
Three state Supreme Court seats flipped
Three red states voted to expand Medicaid
Two states voted to raise their minimum wages
One U.S. Senate seat flipped congrats to Jacky Rosen!
The Daffy Trolls can stay mad, because Women
won big last night, and that is very good, hide and watch the action in the white house going forward.
Another bitter, and press Daffy Troll Hahahahah

Trump right? If so Agreed ?.
Yes Speaking of the president, trying not to type his name.
The Republicans got rid of cry babies like Ohio Governor and Presidential flop John Kasich. Mike Dewine is a staunch Trump supporter and no president wins the election without Ohio. We just cut the fat and we’ll let ya’ll make azzes (get the pun) out of yourselves in the House. Then President will win again in 2020.
EVERYthing he’s doing will be at their expense! How much can one trailer park handle??!
The map for Democrats was a challenge, and will be a challenge for Republicans in 2020. Congratulations to all the winners, and losers!
“It was never ever about those candidates winning”
Stop the shameless lies!
Oh God I hope so. I really wanted to see liberals crying today. It’s not the happiest day for me but it could’ve been worse.
Thanks for the encouraging words. I wanted the Dems to get nothing.
Lol. “Hope.” Nah. Americans want ACTION. That’s why we elected Donald Trump. He’s going to be re-elected by a landslide next time.
That woman is a mess and such an extreme embarrassment to America, government, California. Complete buffoon and I don’t understand how she got accepted into politics at all.
The problem is they didn’t know who to vote for. I’m military so Ted Cruz was the sensible choice for me but look at the other to candidates. There’s one who no one knew was running. And then there’s Robert Francis O’Rourke from El Paso. He message didn’t speak to the black vote. His platform is geared toward the Latino vote because that’s the district he comes from, but the kicker is he not Latino and Cruz is. So Cruz got the Latino vote. Beto was actually more popular outside of Texas.
He threw water on everybody. Everybody with a job got a tax cut.
Self hating? you know Ted Cruz really is Latino. Like his dad was born in Cuba. Robert Francis O’Rourke is Irish. What is your point. We are thinking about all the federal jobs coming in the next 5 years when the next military installation is built in Austin. Jobs for Texans that lead to pension and not just a pay check
The same way Hillary Clinton and Obama and joe Biden did. It’s politics. But don’t get it twisted Ted is Texas all the way. He’s not afraid to give Trump the business as you can see
B/S
Lame hush.
Democratic party won many places Daffywill need in 2020
You Skin heads, Bomb senders
Are everywhere
She got there just like that Daffy did.
Shed not robbing the poor, and giving
To the rich.
Daffy Is the Grass, and the DEMOCRATS
Is the Lawn Mowers? Go tell yo Friend’s
White House Pulled Jim Ascota Press Pass
Because that ah didn’t want him asking Questions Wtf.
Hillary, Joe & Barry Never stooped as low with the name calling as Don.
Ted is creepy too. Reminds me of Grandpa Munster.
Collins, Hunter Facing
Indictments Yet they
Won.
I hear you but it is very easy to Google the current ballot in your county and state. That’s how I learned about unknown candidates, and when do we stop making excuses for ignorance? I stood in line during early voting for an hour and I was the only black person in a sea of old white people with a sprinkle of Hispanics.
They will trade everything for a taste of white cultural supremacy that Trump is offering them.
Progress is being made. We have lots to celebrate from the election. Don’t let the negativity fool you.

It was during the old days when not too much intelligence was required to get into office. Unfortunately a bunch of these idiots are still in office. Now with identity politics and everybody a victim mess and with the over sensitivity of black people they can’t get rid of this clown.
You took the words right out of my mouth.

Yeah his behind is out next. Wasting taxpayer’s money on a lie is a disgrace to this country. He’s part of the cabal and establishment along with Odumba and the others. He’s a traitor to this country.
Why should they? Why isn’t anybody holding Odumba accountable for shipping billions of dollars to Iran on pallets. Or lying about Odumbacare? He said “you can keep your doctor.”

Lies You the morons that repeat what the main stream media says then turn around and repeat what The Donald supporters say to make it look like you saying something. Child go sit down somewhere!
That’s it
There never was a free ride clown. The Donald doesn’t even take a salary. You think the continuous lies and criminal tactics of the leftist is a free ride? The Donald is not a career politician. He’s not even a politician because “he’s for the people and for cleaning up this country.” The career politicians like Hillary, Odumba, Maxine Breaking-her-Waters, Feinstein, and the rest are the ones who have had a free ride that’s why they so worried about The Donald because he’s exposing them one by one. Dam you don’t think at all. You’re not on the level of the sane and astute. Don’t even try. The Donald is way above the cut and still the boss. Bye child

all crooks, and all who could be given Jail time. And just think of those who are waiting to be Sentenced, shortly.
Everybody talking about anybody who dont vote cant complain which sounds stupid to me because our ancestors been voting since they was allowed to vote , and where is the progress we are still considered 3 /5 ths of a human that is written in the 13 amendment . they consider us as animals , thats how they justify how they treat us . and we had a black president who signed into law a Indefinte Detention amendment for regular citizens to be treated like terrorist, and only helped the Lgbt get rights so if a black man was not sympathetic to our plight what the hell we thought Trump was gone do ? With the 2000 Presidental race Al Gore beat George Bush that night , and when we woke up the next morning Bush had straight jacked the presidency , and no one said or done anything . so all political positions are selected not elected . Stop drinking the coolaid and going in those dam voting stations why they take your currency when u go in and vote . Love and Light

The positive manifestation of Cancer is the loving, nurturing mother who is typically a homemaker (that’s why it will be difficult for a woman to be elected president–she will have to be seen as a nurturer and not overbearing) while the negative manifestation of Cancer is tribalism–I only like you if you look like me, think like me and have the same religion.
So America will always be a racist segregated country even though it is racial diverse.

Buck Teef lost. She is so used to having everything handed to her that she does not understand this. She figures if she pouts and puts on that effective nasty scowl that somehow things will change as they have in the past. Someone needs to spell it out for her.
She’s still in the game. Kemp’s dirty ass wishes she would give up.
