In my experience, and as recently as 2016, that is not so.

I have been watching the returns.   At the top of the screen is a clock and once it hits zero for a time zone, they start making projections.   That is AFTER the polls in the state(s) have closed.

That's true, for this non national poll, although they did make a projection of the house going Democrat while the whole Western United States still had its polls open. They did not cite individual races. That's not what I was talking about however. I was speaking of national races, which of course is the presidency / vice presidency.

Honestly, aren't you a bit disappointed with this rather lack lustre result? This is about the least of what could have been expected.

Only if one got caught up in the hype of certain media outfits. So much coverage is outright propaganda. A guy who grew up a few minute walk from where I now sit coined the phrase "The medium is the message". That was a few decades ago but truer now than ever.

Well he predicted it in the 1960's so he wouldn't be surprised it came about. It would be interesting to hear his insights on it now. Sadly he doesn't get the recognition around these parts that he deserves. Even his high school has a more prominent alumni in Neil Young.

The best gauge of the popularity of the parties would have to be the respective votes their house candidates received. As it stands the Dems are ahead by about 9% points. Trump will need to make some changes if he wants another term.

On impeachment, I do think there are already multiple impeachable offenses even before the Mueller report, and that will bring more.

However, impeachment is a political decision, not a criminal prosecution decision.

Yes there is no way (short of some kind of shocking smoking gun, and we've learned already that "trump" fans don't abandon him for anything) the senate will convict and remove him.

So the threat of impeachment in the house will probably be more politically potent than actually doing it.

So I really don't think the house will literally try to impeach because it just wouldn't make good political sense. But that can change.

Going to be a sad Christmas for some. I will be going through my layoff list next week. Let them find a job elsewhere. Maybe the Dems will support them.

Why? Were you the chief of Mr. Trumps next election campaign, and overestimated his popularity by employing too many paperboys? :cheesy:
