They won more repub senators now. It just means it is a little easier for them to pass racist judges in. Also I read that they could pick up 2 more senators in 2020. Supreme Court is going to be super packed with more religious zealots.
I wanted the Democrats to win the Senate back also, but I will take the House victory as a major success for now.
The point that I was making is that whether the Republicans have 50 votes or 55 votes, it doesn’t matter. They are gonna still get their judges and cabinet appointees through.
Hopefully after witnessing the House being lost, some of these Republican Senators may start voting more independently because they see that their jobs may be in jeopardy come 2020.
The places that Trump’s racist tactics worked were in States that have always had racist issues, but even some of those states were extremely close. This next election in 2020 will be the real deal because more people will come out to vote against Trump’s re-election.
