What a poignant closing quote in Iowa Senate race:
“When it was all done and they could ride the buses someone asked Rosa Parks, ‘How do you feel about all this?’” Fmr Sen. Tom Harkin said. “She said, ‘Well my feet are tired, but my soul’s at rest.’ So with Josh Turek coming into the Senate my soul will be at rest.”

It's like I always said: If Susan Collins was ever going to lose, it would be to a guy who placed third in the primary for governor and was swapped in to replace a candidate who imploded under the weight of personal scandals.

It looks like every congressional district along the U.S.–Mexico border voted Democratic in this election, from San Diego to Brownsville. A remarkable political statement, especially considering how central the border has been to Donald Trump’s political rise. The very region he turned into a defining symbol of his political movement is now sending a very different message to the rest of the country.

This election is already seismic.
In exit polls, voters are ranking CORRUPTION as their top issue.
That’s never happened since polling began in the 1930s.
