Florida, can we like, not be awful, just this once, please?

[TheDarman]

Here we go guys. It looks like O'Rourke and Cruz are about to flip in their respective positions. It was fun while it lasted.

If you're expecting Florida to pull one out for the Democrats.... you're gonna have a bad time

An unfortunately, Joe Donnelly has lost. CBS News called it.

Tammy Baldwin still holds her seat though. Phew!

Marsha Blackburn still holds her seat as well. *sigh*

I'm not surprised, but still disappointed. At the very least amendment 4 passed, so looking like not a total shitshow, just mostly a shitshow.

Cenk on TYT was saying it's kinda crazy that 4 had such strong support but Gillum is having serious issues

Manchin won, idk if Dems care a whole lot about that.

I don't, just hoping for Beto at this point.

Art Jones, Neo Nazi running for Illinois' Third District, is demolished in a landslide.

Honestly if Beto can win, regardless of what happens, I'll be happy. And it's not just an issue of flipping Texas, it's that I think Beto is a GREAT candidate. He's one to watch.

If Beto wins, that's all Democrats will care about tonight because it seems like everything else looks to go as expected.

Anyway, I saw on the internet how the Democratic party is going tonight and they all look like they want to take a stiff drink. I'm dreading to see how badly Todd Young's opponent will handle the next election and if they'll drag the walrus out to lose the governor's race a third time in 2020.

It counts towards taking the majority, it that's worth anything.

Rightly or wrongly, Beto winning would be a huge thing.

This is something I'm unaware of, could you give some context?

There's still a statistical probability that he'll vote with Dems. However small that is, it's an order of magnitude better than any R in his spot.

Wait... what?

Jared Polis of Colorado just became the country's first openly gay Governor.

While most of the media is hesitant to call the election, Fox News calls the US House for Democrats.
