The midterms weren't a blue wave, but they weren't shark fin soup for Republicans either, given that they lost the House by a small margin.
That said, the big loser who stands out here is hard-campaigning President Obama, the guy who thought he was the star of the Democratic Party and who, throwing the tradition of former presidents staying aloof from politics out the window, campaigned hard, long, and loud, for Democrats in this midterm. Turns out the ones he fought the hardest for lost.
Now he stands exposed as politically irrelevant, powerless, an embarrassment. Sorry 'bout that legacy thing, Barry-O.
First, he did some easy ones and those candidates marched right through, Obama or no Obama:
Tim Kaine of Virginia and Joe Manchin of West Virginia for the Senate, Jennifer Wexton of Virginia for the House. J.B. Pritzker for the Illinois governorship. A couple of minor leaguers for the House in Illinois as tag-alongs.

SO get this:
Former Pres campaigns. The Dems gain the house and lose some ground in Senate. This makes former Pres a loser.
Current Pres campaigns just as hard or harder. Dems gain the house and lose some ground in Senate. This makes him a historic winner of epic proportions.
Yeah, your logic makes soooo much since.
Kick this foreigner out of our country!
10:09 read it again, I don't think you got the point.
This dude was a loser way before the midterms. Started on the date of birth, where ever that was.
That said, the big loser who stands out here is hard-campaigning President Obama
For one thing, he is NO LONGER President Obama! I'm so tired of people still calling him President! Donald Trump is President!
