The media-hyped Democrat “Blue Wave” melted into a trickle after the GOP base barnstormed the polls amid anger over the mistreatment of Justice Brett Kavanaugh and escalating concerns over illegal immigration.
While Democrats won control of the House of Representatives, Republicans retained control of the Senate, and even gained some seats — bucking longstanding historical trends.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi delivered a victory speech on election night even though many Democrats have openly called for her to step down.
In true Pelosi fashion, the California Congresswoman made a hilarious gaffe, when she cheerleaded for “pre-existing medical conditions” while making a pitch for the flailing Obamacare.
Pelosi shouted with her fist raised: “Let’s hear it for pre-existing medical conditions!”

President Trump called Nancy Pelosi to congratulate her on the Democratic House majority, her rep tweeted.
President Trump called Leader Pelosi at 11:45 p.m. this evening to extend his congratulations on winning a Democratic House Majority. He acknowledged the Leader’s call for bipartisanship in her victory remarks.

President Trump said election night was a victory for Republicans because they held onto the Senate and lost fewer House seats than previous administrations did during their midterms.
“There’s only been 5 times in the last 105 years that an incumbent President has won seats in the Senate in the off year election. Mr. Trump has magic about him. This guy has magic coming out of his ears. He is an astonishing vote getter & campaigner. The Republicans are………

….unbelievably lucky to have him and I’m just awed at how well they’ve done. It’s all the Trump magic – Trump is the magic man. Incredible, he’s got the entire media against him, attacking him every day, and he pulls out these enormous wins.” Ben Stein, “The Capitalist Code”

While triggered liberals mocked President Trump for declaring victory, here’s a history lesson:
Not only did Trump do better in his first Midterms in the House than President Clinton and Obama did, he gained more Senate seats than any of the last three Presidents. #ElectionNight2018 pic.twitter.com/7AeOnUiRTi

In his first midterm, Trump experienced a very narrow loss in the House and a HUGE win in the Senate. Obama got his ass handed to him.
Once again, win Trump.

Where’s that “Blue Wave” again?

The “Kavanaugh Effect” was real.
So every Dem Senator in a competitive race who voted against Kavanaugh lost (Donnelly, Heitkamp, McCaskill, and almost certainly Nelson), and the one who voted for Kavanaugh survived (Manchin). Coincidence?
