so mid-terms are over. Thank god. Now we have two months before the 2020 election begins…
main take aways for me.
1.
trump's 2016 election has been legitimised. The main narrative for the past two years from Democrats was that Trump's election was an unfortunate accident and that voters would repudiate him the first chance they got. Well that did not happen last night, GOP losses are more or less the historical average and a lot less than the shellacking Obama got in 2010.
2.
Trump's takeover of the GOP is complete. The GOP did not just increase GOP senators. Trump's main GOP critics, McCain, Corker and Flake are gone and the new crop of GOP senators were all hand picked by Trump and owe their election to him. Expect the GOP Senators to be even more pro-Trump going forward.
