Fuck the bullshit! GOP spin about it being a 'great' election for them is horseshit!

8. I wouldn't call the national election great for the GOP

if by that you mean the GOP made huge gains, because clearly they didn't. But we won the Presidency probably by 51 to 45 and we lost House seats, only gained at most 3 senate seats and probably only 1, and in states it wasn't pretty at all. To take NC as an example. Our entire council of state was up, that is Gov, Lt. Gov. AG, Sec of state, State Superintendent of schools, Treasurer, Auditor, Agriculture, Labor, and Insurance. We won the Gov by a good margin, barely won AG. Auditor, and Sec of State and lost everything else. We had three Supreme court seats up, we are losing all three (with one being close enough that we might win that with the few outstanding ballots we have). We had five appellate court seats up lost all five and we lost both house and senate seats in the general assembly. And this is when the incumbent President had the worst economy since the great depression and killed hundreds of thousans of citizens through incompetence and inaction. Honestly, if I were a member of the GOP I would be feeling pretty damn good to. If they can run the country into this kind of ditch, lose the Presidency by the same margin that Ford did, and have the result be what I said above then that is a pretty damn good low point for them.
