If Trump keeps the house and senate he will have absolute and unchecked power.
Vote Democrat.
If pubs keep the house and senate then the people have spoken that they favor Trump. He should have unchecked power. The majority gave it to him.
And if the people want an all-powerful unchecked dictator then this is no longer America.

Ohhh, you know you said exactly that for Barack. Don't lie.

They already know the Dems will take the House, so they will shrug it off as cyclical and not being a real indicator of any significant movement, especially if they have a net gain in the Senate. Besides, there are too many youngsters in the GOP who would not have made it without Trump, so trumpism is the only politics they know. He and his effect aren’t going away that easily - expect the bipartisan rhetoric to spike significantly over the next year. I’ll bet Trump and his band will dig their heels over the border wall funding and theathen to shut down the government if they don’t get support before year end. It is going to get much bloodier than this.
And they will be right. Check your history on midterms. The fact that so few seats are flipping is surprising.
it's true - even if trump were a popular president instead of a colossal failure, we'd expect 20+ seats to flip. Which is why I'm pretty comfortable that the house will flip, since trump is the least popular president at midterms since Truman. the new colation is women, blacks and millenials.
America often does the wrong thing over and over until it does the right thing. Churchill pointed that out.

It’s going to be a bloodbath for Republicans today. I think they will take 60 House seats and win the Senate.
I literally don’t know anyone voting for a Republican. Not at work, not at the gym, not on Facebook, not on Instagram. Nowhere.
I hung out at the polling place for about 45 minutes today and everyone voted for Democrats.
Bye bye Trump.
Any chance you live, work and socialize among a liberal leaning crowd?

No offense, but nobody should ever have unchecked power. Unchecked power is for totalitarian states.
Perhaps you think that the US should be a totalitarian state?

One cannot be an unchecked dictator and support the second amendment of the US Constitution.
Those would be contradictory characteristics.
Every fascist dictator in history banned guns.

Just to put me even more on edge, I have $150 spread across 10 or so bets for tonight.
Pretty much I'm using the Nate Silver numbers...I'll make a bet when the predictit market doesn't match up with Nate Silver's numbers.
The problem with this approach is that if I win 8 bets but lose two I'll probably lose money. Not a winning strategy. But it's fun.
I do not bet.

If the majority of voters think so then yes. Why not?

While I would agree that three of the primetime talking heads on MSNBC (Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell) are the left-wing equivalent of many Fox News alt-right whackos, it is entirely inaccurate to suggest the network is even close to Fox News in terms of bias. Every day starts with a cast of panelists on "Morning Joe" that is incredibly diverse, and every show between "...Joe" and the primetime hours is just as balanced. And there are few shows that include as much factual reporting as "The 11th Hour."
And giving credit where it's due, Shep Smith is the one bastion of truth and sensibility on the entire Fox News team. I am utterly stunned that he hasn't been forced out yet.
Not sure you read what I wrote. I said, "but it (MSNBC) doesn't compete with Fox News for bias".

I have to disagree with you here. CNN has become the liberal version of Fox News the last few years.
The bias is not even debatable.

You are correct which is why Donald Trump is a huge threat to the 2nd Amendment. If he were allowed to do what he would really like to do, he WOULD be a dictator, and no private citizen would own a gun. He has already made the NRA more nervous than Obama ever did.

That is just not accurate at all. Not even close. Yes CNN leans left overall. Yes, some of the anchors (hosts) are more liberal than others, but CNN has a bevy of Conservative contributors that are on constantly. Fox News doesn't do that, and CNN has no one who is the Democrat equivalent of Hannity or Pirro.

CNN doesn't lean left. They are completely to the left. They're as bad as the New York Times.
Fox is certainly to the right, but they are the only ones to the right.
ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC. etc. are all to the left.
Flag, you're a good man, but you probably ought to sit this one out.
You're not exactly a prognosticator when it comes to politics.

Truth right there. The host of FOX's highest rated show (Hannity) was literally on stage at a rally actively campaigning for Trump. Pretty surreal.

Depends on who you ask.
Who’s in the center then?
I think it’s easy to confuse news programming with entertainment programming.

Trump might try. He's already talked about it.
But no president has commanded an army as powerful as ours. The armed citizenry is no match in both hardware and logistics. People who think the second amendment is a check on tyranny are fooling themselves.
