Yeah, haven't seen a lot of crowing. Most of the MSM pundits seem to be sobered by the fact that their anticipated "blue wave" petered out into a ripple on the shore.

The blue wave wasn't what they were repeatedly promised and they're waking up to disappointment yet again.
The night was still young when a dismayed Jake Tapper, CNN's Chief Washington Correspondent was reluctantly admitting "what's going on here tonight, this is not a blue wave. This is not a wave that is knocking out all sorts of Republican incumbents." CNN's chief political analyst Gloria Borger soon followed with the admission that "there is no tsunami. There's no tsunami coming." Obama's former Green Jobs czar and regular CNN contributor Van Jones wore his emotions on his sleeve bemoaning that "this is heartbreaking, though. It's heartbreaking" while trying to rally the troops to "continue the fight" and to "fight forward."
Meanwhile over on MSNBC they were also visibly shaken and upset but also angry. About the same time Tapper on CNN was acknowledged there was no blue wave Savannah Guthrie, who recently replaced Ann Curry as co-anchor of Today conceded that "it is not a total blowout on the part of Democrats" followed by former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw solemnly declaring "Donald Trump and his followers are still intact." Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd chimed in also admitting that there was "not a blue wave." Brokaw would later put the blame on Pelosi and Schumer and suggest it was time for them to step aside.
