'Don't get too cocky Democrats. Last night doesn't mean anything.' [View all]

Been hearing this, or variations of, all f'n day from MSM. It's really getting to these cretins that the PEOPLE stood up and said NO MAS! Media is so used to manipulating and calling the shots it is a real shocker to them when Americans can make up their own minds about facts on the ground, and act accordingly.
