He hasn’t tweeted in 3 hours. I think Susie Wiles must have taken the phone away from Natalie.

Or maybe he had a stroke on the toilet and everyone is afraid to check on him like when Stalin died.

Damn. It just switched over; at 41.9% in Tenney,’s leading 54.1 to 45.8. Oh, well,it was nice while it lasted. And at least it looks like she’ll be on the minority side.

— with 44.9% in it’s 54.5 to 45.5, Tenney ahead.

Tennessee is still very close with 73% in with Blackburn slightly ahead. Even the Mississippi Senate race is close. Just astonishing.

NBC is projecting Democrats take the house with a majority of 244 to 191.

They haven’t called anywhere near that many actual races yet, though, so I don’t know how solid that is.
