still more good comments
There are still undecided races.
That margin among voters age 45+ is historically (and catastrophically) low for the @GOP. https://t.co/1FtIWsfH7b

With health care front and center in the election, the GOP scrambled to respond. They ultimately returned fire on the issue in ads aimed at seniors, alleging that Democrats plan to “end Medicare as we know it” https://t.co/vHnUkhuh0j pic.twitter.com/6RIwLc7Jd2

Dems likely to get 38 net House seat gain, at least 7 gov pick ups, probably cap GOP senate gains at 2, pick up hundreds of state legislative seats. What would be a blue wave? https://t.co/SxE4ZWzQpt

Wow. In 1992, Republicans still held half of the 30 House districts with the highest level of educational attainment.
Now they hold just two. Two out of 30. (via WSJ) pic.twitter.com/oeaWxWLRja

It didn't end up being a particularly superb Senate showing for Republicans. Democrats gained seats in Arizona and Nevada and defended seats in states Trump won by 42 (WV) and 21 (MT). With Dems defending 26 seats to their 9, Republicans will end up +2 if they get Florida.

A lot of women and people of color won last week! And yet now white men are more likely to be represented by a white man in the House than they were at the beginning of 2017. https://t.co/NkcsG2bFlM

We're going to dial this back to "Lean D" from "Likely D". McAdams gained ground as some Salt Lake County ballots were reported, but his margins were not as wide as on Election Day and frankly it's not totally clear how much remaining vote is outstanding in which counties.

I was not aware that Kevin Brady expected to lose 30-plus seats and his chairmanship.
Our regressions find no sign that tax law helped in House races.
But I *do* think you can argue that w/o the law, GOP gets totally blown out on the donor front: https://t.co/JaH5Yus9ky https://t.co/98fx3Z1b30
