I think this is the big surprise. I mean not unexpected in the latest polling but defiantly not expected 12 months ago.
Im tempted to call a nil all draw although Trump wasnt having any luck with some of his legislative agenda anyway. Retaining and growing the senate is a big win to Republicans.
Next two years will be interesting. Beto might now be a front runner for the dem nomination.

Fun times.
He's more likely to win 2020 than be impeached.
I couldn't care less whether he gets impeached or not - but it's going to be hilarious fun watching him be unable to do any more of what passes in his camp for governing while he tries to explain the contents of his tax returns when they're under the microscope.
"Republicans carried the national House popular vote by 1 percentage point in 2016, and based on The Upshot model, they look likely to lose by about 7 percentage points in 2018. That 8-point shift would be nearly as large as the 9-point shift toward Republicans that happened in 2010 and the largest shift toward the Democrats since 1948."

Didn't the Democrats lose power of both houses in the midterm after Obama was elected?
Based on that, You'd have to say Trump has done well. That the much anticipated "Blue Wave" didn't happen suggests the country is actually more divided than ever and the Democrats need to tighten their grip on reality
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Agree.
Democrats lost 63 seats in the House, but narrowly retained the Senate despite losing 6 seats in 2010. In comparison, the Republicans have made gains in the Senate and are projected to lose 30-35 seats in the House in this election cycle.
In 1994 (two years after Clinton was elected), the Democrats lost both the House and Senate but Clinton was re-elected two years later in 1996.
