However, what about the U.S. SENATE? Didn't the FASCIST PARTY OF AMERICA/GOP take control of the Majority?
Yes, but as usual the Biased PRO-TRUMP MEDIA IGNORED THE DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT CAME INTO PLAY DURING THIS ELECTION CYCLE.
First, let us look at the Vote totals Nationwide:
DEMOCRATS- 55,449,321- 49.1%
FPA/GOP- 54,099,386- 47.9%
As you can see from the above Stats., Democrat Senate Candidates pulled in over 1.3 Million more votes than the FPA/GOP Opposition, a 1.2% Margin.
How can this be you say to yourself? Well, the ANSWER LIES IN THE NUMBER OF SEATS UP FOR ELECTION, AND HOW THE RESULTS PLAYED OUT.
UP FOR ELECTION: 34 SEATS.
DEMOCRATS- 17 INCUMBENTS RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION.
FPA/GOP- 11 INCUMBENTS RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION.
INDEPENDANT- 2 (Caucus with Democrats, and are grouped with them.)
Essentially, the Democrats had 19 Incumbents to Re-elect, the FPA/GOP had 11.
4 SEATS WITH NO INCUMBENT RUNNING.
What were the results:
DEMOCRATS- 19 WINS. (Includes the Two Ind. who ally with them.)
FPA/GOP- 15 WINS.
Wait a minute, the TRUMP ENDORSED CANDIDATES LOST MORE TIMES
THAN THEY WON?
Yes indeed.
So, we did not have a FPA/GOP surge of popularity, at least as far as the Senate Elections
are concerned.
to be continued...
