Dems had some decent showings in farm-belty parts of the Midwest (IA, KS, SD, nw OH), but had mediocre to outright bad showings in traditionally Dem, old industrial/union parts of the Midwest. Metro areas pretty bad for GOP across region, of course

I think one of the most important, outstanding questions about this election, with big implications for 2020, is what went wrong for Democrats in Miami-Dade County

My favorite bit is "virtually all of the Senate Democrats who voted against…Kavanaugh from the states that Trump won in 2016 were voted out of office" – yeah except for Tester. And also Baldwin, Brown, Casey and Stabenow. https://t.co/mMpAp9kvBT
