Obviously You don't know anything about the elections here. The Blue wave is Democrats winning the House of Representatives because that's where the financial and other laws in America begins before going to the Senate and President for his John Hancock. We will pick at least 32 to 38 seats in the House and your racist idol is wetting his pants in the Oval Office as we speak. Things are going good for Democrat watching ABC News as I am typing now.
You are overestimating the significance of this, the map for the 2020 race for the house will be very bad for Democrats. A lot of those moderate Democratic incumbents that will be defending their seats in red states in 2020 are not likely to join any attempt to radically oppose Trump. Just like Lisa murkowski and Susan Collins for the GOP and Joe Manchin for the dems had to play it safe to safeguard their reelection in the senate. Those red state Democrats who ignored this trend paid a very big price tonight in Senate races. I don't think red state Democratic reps will want to tow the same path

Good news for Abbeybailey in Illinois. Democrat candidate Pritzker has defeated incumbent GOP governor Rauner in the race for Illinois governor
The problem with Rauner is the same thing Trump will have in 2020 if he can survive Mueller. Rauner came in as a candidate against Former Gov Pat Quinn a Democrat and i will admit Quinn is a bad Governor. Rauner came in with his $ billion and spend over $100 million of his personal wealth to overwhelm Quinn. He won convincingly and failed to unite illinoisians forgetting he will run for reelection in 4 years. Here comes a wealthier candidate JB Pritzker who spent $175 of his $4billion wealth to overwhelm Rauner and now JB is the Governor Elect. Proud to be a Blue Team Member.

I don't think you read my post rightly. I said Susan Collins and Murkowski couldn't just support Trump's radical agenda just because they were Republicans. If they did, they would blow their reelection chances at home. So also is it for Joe Manchin, he couldn't join the radical opposition to Trump because he would have lost his reelection race. My point is that many red state house reps will not want to join any radical opposition to Trump because it will affect their reelection chances. Go back and read my post again and you will understand the point I was making

I was right about the Senate all along. No Trump impeachment pending. Dem's message remains weak, they'll have to work on their Obama-tier message which shouldnt be hard, maybe Dems need a white man speaking for them come 2020. cool grin

We all know that the republicans will keep the Senate because most of the 33 Senate seats being contested are Democratic States. It's gonna be the opposite of that in 2020. The main contention is the House of Representatives where legislation starts in US. That's where the real blue wave mantra emanates from.

The projection now is that the Democrats takes the House of Representatives and that's huge. Come January, our racist president will face a new reality. BLUE WAVE indeed.

Yea but without a Senate [and SCOTUS] who will ultimately buster any Democratic legislation, Dems are screwed. They needed both the House and Senate but lost.

What's your take on Biafra and the current position of Nigeria?

Thats not a surprise. That will put an end to all Trump's craziness because we have Check and Balances in our government now. New dawn in America starts in January and people should watch out for Trampy to calm down on his hatred, bigotry and open racism. Americans sends a big and clear message to the Divider in Chief.

This is not a blue avalanche, it's not even close to that. The GOP is increasing their majority in the senate and winning majority of the governor's races. The dems are outperforming the GOP only in the house. An avalanche is what happened in 2010 definitely not this

Biafrans maintain businesses and land in Nigeria if Biafra where to actualize Awera Youth threatens them. What says you.

Buhari paid for a Yoruba group to stymie IPOB's/Biafra's efforts in DC soon after Nnamdi was released from jail. This soon included IPOB women and protestors being killed and also nearly slaughtered by Nigerian Military, not police, but Military who should be protecting Nigeria from global threats and maybe developing one or two nukes. Dont too get caught up in the West's decadence, this is all bvllshit, while ignoring the African homefront. And I could go on how Buhari tried to ban social media, alcohol, anything his religion and his cows tells him to do. But like Trump, I knew Buhari would be a dullard. However I didnt think Nigerians would be so dumb to actually vote for that slowpoke named Buhari but they did anyways. Whats next? More abject poverty, corruption, or selling your souls to China for a come up in dis modern world?

We ourselves say one thing, but where is the native Nigerian/Africans and their fuel for mobilisation, without their inferiority of sounding too "Pan-African" like Sakara? GOP will take it all and Trump will lead them to hate that has already reached Europe (while most post-modern black morons wouldnt think it'll go this far). I cant only hope that Africa can think 21st century wildly but so far they havent because, at the very least, Kanu shouldnt have Pythons dancing on this door to protect a Colony.

Once again you are wrong. It's an avalanche in the sense that the Democrats taking the House will halt everything Trump wants to do without collaborating with the Democrats. You only need one house for the Democrats to stop all his plans. Nothing can go forward without the two parties working together. That's the way founding fathers envision it to be and that's why we are not a monarchy.

I will concede to you and others because I do not know about the politics in Nigeria like you guys do. All I just want in Nigeria is to be peaceful and prosperous. I see a lot of people here very knowledgeable about America which is good but most of the same people don't even hold the sleazy Thieflicians ruining Nigeria accountable.

This were your exact words "with the Blue Avalanche running all over America." And I am telling you that you can't say a blue avalanche is running all over America when Republicans are dominating Governorship and Senate races all over the country. It's been a double edged night where both sides can claim victory but you definitely can't call it a blue avalanche
