Blue states got bluer. Red states got redder. Swing states turned red. Although the GOP received 5 million more overall votes...there was no red wave. Why? Well lots of people fled the blue states the last two years...making those states they ended up in redder (except AZ and GA apparently). But the GOP was already winning almost all those red states anyway. This left the blue states even bluer...and there are just more congressional seats in blue country. Republicans just don't know how to win elections on a mass scale...other than Florida. Also the GOP message was not as forceful or clear...and they don't embrace early voting like the Dems do. Sure Trump, Oz and Walker should bear some of the blame...but mistakes at the RNC level (yes you MM)...are more to blame than DJT. Don't misunderstand...DJT is a tool and needs to go away...but this was much deeper than DJT...

That is Gary Danielson level analysis.
In a word: Terrible
I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on
