What if they are all flying on the same plane and... god forbid... it crashes? Trump can appoint 9, making it 11 in total... but, what if they also have a boating... god forbid... crash that takes them from us. That means Trump can appoint 20!
You laugh, but remember the day music died. God forbid...

The Dems did have Senate seats though, of which they've lost quite a few. Also, with the Republicans likely reaching a 54/55 seat majority in the Senate. It may put the Senate out of reach for them until 2022 as most GOP seats up for reelection in 2020 are in safe red states. So unless Trump miraculously loses in a landslide the Democrats are going to have trouble in the Senate again next time around.

I am happy that the Orange POS in the White House just got the legs cut from under him.

I caught part of Ted Cruz's victory speech, which is probably the smuggest such speech I've ever heard. There's such a thing as a sore winner, and that's exactly what he proved he is.
Soooo everyone accused of being racist won, right?
Gillum's loss is a bitter pill to swallow for a lot of people, but I'm old enough to expect betrayal from Florida. But picking up governors and state legislatures is a big deal.
Otherwise really good night. The Senate map was really bad for Democrats this year - of the 33 seats up for election they hold 25 - but they staved off the worst possible damage. Flipping the House is a big deal purely from the standpoint that the administration won't be able to get away with half the criminal shit they've tried to do while Congress looked the other way. Starting January you're going to see cabinet secretaries hauled before committees. And those tax returns aren't going to stay hidden for long.
If you're a decent person you should sleep better than you did two years ago (or at least sleep as well but without the hangover in the morning).

r.i.p. alleria. 1997-2017. blizzard ruined alleria forever. blizz assassinated alleria's character and appearance.
i will never forgive you for this blizzard.
So far, they have lost 2, not "a few". They lost Indiana and North Dakota. They are likely to lose Missouri. Florida will be down to the wire and possible in recount territory. That means they will gain, in all, one more seat than they had yesterday IF they flip 4 seats.
As of now, 34,288,003 democrats voted in the Senatorial election. 27,890,173 Republicans did. That's almost 7 million more Democrats than Republicans. That's no small number, though I understand that Republicans care less about vote numbers than they do winning tallies. Republicans should be very worried if this trend continues in 2020. It's a lot easier to be pissed at Trump in 2 years than it is to be happy with him.
Not sure two is quite a few, but whatever makes you feel better. Like you've been told several times already, the map couldn't have been more unfavorable for the DNC - in fact historically it hasn't ever been worse. 2020 sees only 8 DNC seats up with 20 GOP seats - and if you thing "red" means "safe" then you haven't been paying attention tonight at all. And it doesn't matter - reality trumps your feels.
