Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostYeah, I haven't seen any crowing from either side - the Dems seem to be disappointed that the Repubs actually GAINED seats in the Senate, and the Repubs seem somewhat glum about the number of seats lost in the House -- though, truth be told, the number of seats lost is smaller than the losses under Obama or Clinton.
Disaster averted: Trump just third president in 100 years to gain Senate seats in midterm election while losing House seats
To me, this is really nothing about which to crow.

My big concern is that Trump has become normalized. His brand of interaction - his invective and lying and seeking vengeance for the least slight is becoming... meh... That was my biggest concern when he was elected, and it is proving to be true. How sad for us as a nation...The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

Trump has been tweeting all morning about what a magic man he is and what a great victory he got in the Senate and totally ignoring the loss in the House.

The response around here, at least, seems to be more like, "Yeah, pretty much what was expected."I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.
