RealClearPolitics: Reports on the results of the 2018 Mid Term results. The Democrats have taken the House with 220 Seats while the Republicans have held the Senate by 52, there are two outstanding results that could also go Republican, giving them 54 Seats.
Lets Get Real:
It was a LONG NIGHT, but the results followed expectations, even the Republicans gaining more Seats than expected. The results showed two Americas, there are VERY red States and blue States. POTUS got his vote out in these States thus the better than expected results for the Republicans in the Senate. In the Blue States Middle Class women with a a degrees sent a rebuke to the White House, thus some of the unexpected gains by the Democrats. The Trump White House can expected investigations from the Democrats, even the threat of impeachment. This could work for POTUS, he could say that he is working on the agenda of the American people while the Democrats are feeding their base. The race of 2020 started last night, it will be interesting to see who the contenders are, will HRC run again, one has doubts, it is a BIG FIELD. The Democrats need some younger, female and from a ethnic background, that should appeal to voters who voted Democratic in 2018. One has doubts that any real Republicans will run against Trump, in less the Special Prosecutor finds something really damaging. The the fun of divided Government starts today, that is healthy for US democracy.
