I got into a really stupid argument with a co-worker yesterday. He is also relatively conservative, but he hasn't lost all hope that the country has been lost. (He's a bit young.) Anyway, we were arguing about whether or not a "Blue Wave" actually occurred after the last fauxlection.
He said "The media all predicted a HUUUUUGE blue wave, that the democrats would increase their numbers in both the house and senate massively." I said, well, I would argue that the democrats have control of the house, the senate and the presidency. How would you not consider that complete victory and a "blue wave"?
He said, but they didn't win by MUCH. I said, "So?" Does that change the fact that they control the house, the senate and the wh?
With the vice prostitute controlling the "tying vote" in the senate, they control the senate, because we know how often the democrats break rank. Obviously they have majority in the house, and now they have Bernie in the wh. (as in Weekend at Bernie's).
I'd call that a blue wave.
