No matter what happens, people will be pissed tomorrow. Bitter, resentful politics for the next decade or more. Edit: I would also watch PA, that had its gerrymandering overturned by their Supreme Court. It gives you an idea of how much of an advantage Republicans gave themselves in 2010. | ||

It also seems to be a lot less volatile than the 538 one. | ||

Focusing on Trump when the economy is booming is hilariously stupid. My only hope is that if we lose, we are likely ending up with new leadership. Hate to tell you this, dems are going to win the house so expect the leadership to stay | ||

You aren't kidding about gerrymandering. NYT is projecting D+9.6 popular vote yet Dems are projected to only gain a low 30 seat majority. | ||
