Brit Leftist Paper calls it a victory for.....

President Trump!

Odd, it is true, but one of Britain's most "progressive" newspapers sees the election results from a different perspective.

Don't be fooled. The midterms were not a bad night for Trump | Cas Mudde

"On the other side of the political spectrum, the Democratic party made modest overall advances, in terms of seats rather than votes – barely taking the House, while staying well behind a US Senate majority. That said, the party has changed fundamentally in composition. Two years after Bernie Sanders’ failed challenge for the presidential nomination, there will be almost as many Democratic Socialists as conservative-leaning Democrats (known as Blue Dog Democrats) in Congress. While still a minority, they will be a loud minority, convinced they represent the future of the party."

Other international publications are mostly using terms like "Welcome to Gridlock".

I like gridlock! It will ensure The Democrat Party's headlong rush to the extreme left goes on display and their "Party of NO" banner will fly, pissing off more and more Americans.

Mayhap The Guardian has it exactly right!

It could have been better but the GOP still holds the senate and the newly elected republicans in the House are Trump republicans....non loyal punks like Ryan are gone.....

Taking the House was all that matters. The 2020 Senate map is far more favorable for Democrats.

Top dems are pissed off this morning....something didn't go as they would have loved.....

It may look that way, but I don't see any pickups other maybe Maine, while we'll get Alabama.

The Brit Paper is right.

Trump built a red brick border wall in the Senate, House Dem's can't do jack shit for 2 years.

Net Employment losses in the Blue Wall due to tax reform, loss of the courts big time, the current real estate crash in much of the Blue Wall, Trump's big nickel reduction in the bureaucracy of 5% with possibly more reductions later and a host of other things that add up to a death of a thousand cuts for the Ds.

Given history, the GOP did "better than average" last night.

Remember 1994???

LOL!!!
