Harris County put Cruz over the top.

Will be interesting to see if Beto runs for Cornyn's seat whenever he's up for reelection.

Republicans retain the Senate.

Democrats win the House with a greater gain than projected.

The Govenor races are interesting.

As of right now, there is no indication that Dem gains are any bigger than expected. Matt Morgan is getting his ass kicked as everyone except you expected.

Lots of disappointment about Morgan. PAC's hammered him for two weeks.

I wish the national media would speak more about the gubernatorial races in each state, at least the competitive ones.

Dems are clearly doing well in the House. 230+ seats is a definite possibility.

However, the fact the Republicans creamed the Democrats in so many Senate races should not be discounted one bit.

He NEVER had a chance, nor should he have.

And why not? This is exactly what was projected to happen and also the map was virtually impossible for the Democrats.. what’s the shock here?

Many gubernatorial races are really right. A few big wins for Democrats.
