12. exactly who you thought would vote along those lines

the whole outcome was pre ordained. Democrats knew this. Long term, this will work to our advantage.

4. Yet they gained seats in State legislatures.

7. That's the problem. They'll redistrict themselves right into the majority.

6. Overstatement a giant bit? Some have remained in the party out of principle,

feeling their best way to serve their country was to be one of those opposing what's happening from within and awaiting the time when they could bring their party back from the extremism and corruption that've taken it over.

One of my favorite conservatives, as they go, speaking to principle, not angry partisan bigotry.

10. In the country, you could probably scrape together that number...

In the Senate? Nope. And we knew that going in.

11. What about State Republicans that refuses trumps desire to "find" votes.

There are good republicans. Always were.
