Question about the Republican "tsunami" "hurricane" "Tidal wave":
I can think of four different Congressional seats here in New York that were real squeakers; in fact one is in re-count. Did the Republicans achieve an overwhelming victory, or a series of squeakers?

1. Both.
In every election there are a bunch of squeekers. The question is whether they are races that were
previously safe in one direction or the other.

There were also some races that were blowouts that used to be close.

2. The entrenched republicans won hands down BUT
I think all the new positions were and still are squeakers and I am always and will forever be suspect about counting the vote on those easily hacked election boxes. I just will always remember Ohio. And how they scammed the American public there. And this is going to continue until they get some real way for people to vote securely.

3. They would have had to win the Senate to be a tsunami.
The Democrats thank God kept the races close. This is
important to show there is another half who does not
agree with Republican Agenda. This is why voting
is so important. If the Republicans had won each
race with big margins that would be different.
