    Smear campaigns... are those the 'attack ads' I sometimes see my American relatives link on Facebook? Sort of weird propaganda videos, making the other candidate look like a crook?

    That's something we don't have in Denmark.

        I think it's probably more the result of the fact they have a lot more than two parties that are regularly elected. When you have multiple opponents, running ads attacking only one is a lot less efficient.

          I put in "election results" into Google to see what's in so far, and somehow the following comes up:

              And it's over. No "blue wave". Democrats control the House, but they took it on the chin in other races. Ohio and Florida were big, big wins for the Republicans. Democrats, of course, are whooping and hollering about how this is a referendum against Trump even though they underperformed based on historical averages. Trump has to be feeling pretty good about 2020 after last night.

                I guess you could say that there was a blue wave when it came to the House of Representatives with Democrats gaining over 30 seats (about half of the turnovers in 2010 witnessed after Obama was first elected) but Republicans actually gained 2 seats in the Senate (not anything like 2010 where the out of control Republicans gained 6 seats) and it looks like governorships will remain relatively unchanged (or a shift either way of 1 or 2).

                As for Florida the Republicans won the governor's race but the Senate race is still too close to call.

                  So now that Democrats control the House, what are they going to do with it? Endless "investigations"? Impotent calls from impeachment? A "do nothing" anti-Trump agenda?

                  How's that going to play in 2-years?

                    With a little luck Nutsy Nancy Pelosi will be elected Speaker and walking around again with her over-sized gavel.

                        That's exactly what Nutzy Nancy said they were going to do...

                          Remember what I said:

                          I say the Republicans pick up two or three seats in the Senate, and they lose the House by about five seats...

                          Looks like I was pretty close...

                            Virginia got pretty much killed too. Except the state senate.
