Yet Devin no-nuts Nunez beat Janz, who was campaining on water instead of the alien invasion nonsense.

RIP, California GOP: Republicans lash out after midterm election debacle

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/...ebacle-1000481

Stupid Repubes, so completely out of touch with CA voters. You deserved this trouncing, bigly.

Now, the Dems have a supermajority in both houses, and a Dem governor. Brown was able to say “no” to overspending. Newsom’s vetoes of excessive spending can be overridden. If the Dems put the state back into a budget hole, the Repubes may have a fighting chance. Not until they stop being the party of angry old white men, though.

Democrats sweep Reagan Country in California
(CNN) - It was where "good Republicans go to die," Ronald Reagan often quipped.

http://lite.cnn.io/en/article/h_18dc...f84c6cc33897ad

Let that headline sink in. This is Reagan country, ground zero of conservatism. Swept by Dems. This is disastrous for Trumpism, and every evil thing it stands for.

I'm still a bit thundestruck at this turn of events. I've lived here behind the Orange Curtain for decades and never believed that the Democrats had much of a chance here. There was the occasional glimmer of hope such as when Loretta Sanchez whupped B1 Bob Dornan's ass but for the most part Orange county has been hardcore Tea Party central with assholes like my rep. Dana Rohrabacher and Darryl Issa leading the charge. No more.

I hope Tricky Dick is spinning in his grave over there in Yorba Linda at the news of this blue tsunami in Orange county.

I read somewhere that Republican Mia Love in Utah is losing after some back and forth in the vote count. Good.

Ousted GOP Rep. Mia Love on Trump's politics: 'No real relationships, just convenient transactions'

Trumpkins must feel so cheap, so used by Donny. If not, they’re just completely stupid.

The last election in the 2018 midterms, Espy - D vs. Smith - R for a Senate seat in Mississippi. Ought to be an interesting one.

Just found out we sent some money to Espy's campaign. Yay! I love my wife!

MS went for the racist. Big surprise. The most backwards state in the nation.

The whites in Mississippi went for the racist.

You can predict how a county would vote in Mississippi by looking at the racial demographics. Compare the results by county on the map shown here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...-election.html

...and the 'whiteness' of counties shown on the map found here (you will need to scroll down past five rows of graphs first): https://statisticalatlas.com/state/M...-and-Ethnicity
