BREAKING: Democrats Will Take House Of Representatives

This isn’t really that important or groundbreaking news – everybody aside from a few MAGApedes with brain waves equal to earthworms believed that the Democrats would retake the House.

Pay attention, though, because Fox News is starting to turn discussion away from optimistic cheers to “what went wrong” debates.

NBC News:

Democrats are likely to reclaim the House majority, NBC News estimated Tuesday night.

The party had a 65 percent chance of winning control of the House, according to the estimate, taking as many as 31 seats — well over the 23 needed for the majority — for a total of 224.

The call came with Democrats positioned to claim victory in a handful of bellwether congressional races, as polls began closing in some parts of the eastern U.S.

In Virginia, NBC News projected that incumbent GOP Rep. Barbara Comstock would lose her House seat in the state’s 10th Congressional District to Democrat Jennifer Wexton. The race, in a suburban northern Virginia district Hillary Clinton won by 10 percentage points in 2016, had been regarded by many observers as critical to Republican hopes of maintaining control of the lower chamber.

And in Florida, Democrat Donna Shalala, former Health and Human Services secretary under President Bill Clinton, was projected to win Florida’s 27th Congressional District. The Miami seat had been held by retiring GOP Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who had represented the area since 1989.

But Republicans appeared to hold on in some closely-fought contests, such as Virginia’s 5th Congressional District: the seat, which had been held by GOP Rep. Tom Garrett, was projected to go to Republican Denver Riggleman over Democrat Leslie Cockburn.

If Democrats win the House, they could block many of Trump’s remaining priorities such further efforts to repeal Obamacare, more tax cuts and significant funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Holding the majority would also allow Democrats to conduct investigations of the Trump administration, looking further into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

So at the very least, expect a whole lot of nothing as we move towards the 2020 Presidential Election.

But if the Senate winds up flipping, be ready for the whole rotten structure of American Democracy to start to crumble – it’s going to happen within a decade anyway, but this scenario could speed things up by a few years.
