I'm looking at the fallout from the Senate races.
Dems were SO confident that they were going to flip a bunch of seats. The were sure that they were going to oust Ted Cruz, and I'm pretty sure they thought they had Rick Scott's Florida seat in the bag, as well.
Cruz won by nearly 1 million votes, Scott won by around 1.5 million.
The Dems didn't flip a single Senate seat, not one. The Republicans flipped 4, and of the 4 that they flipped, in 3 they defeated seriously entrenched Democrats (Tester, Montana, Brown, Ohio, and Casey, Pennsylvania). The 4th was in West Virginia, an open seat but held long-term by a Democrat, and the Republican SLAUGHTERED the Democrat, 69% to 28%. West Virginia for decades was one of the most reliable Blue states in the country.
I just can't help but wonder just what the flying *expletive deleted*ck the Dems were looking at that they thought they were going to prevail so handily?
Even in 2016 there were rumblings of 'the polling is wrong, there are big problems with the polling, we're in trouble in states we should be winning handily,' but this time there doesn't seem to have been anything like that.
I think in some ways this election is even more shocking to liberals than 2016 was.
And, if you want to get a big old belly laugh, read this load of horseshit from Buzz Feed...

Probably because they were afraid that if they got too close they'd catch the Hitleritis.
