never managed to write a story about it but remembering that 2014 set of races is wild. the last of the pre-Bernie, pre-Trump era for Dems when they ran almost entirely on what today looks like a very modest minimum wage hike and abortion rights — PolitiTweet.org

@Redistrict also, smart reporters like @JamesArkin noted how different and more expansive Ossoff's rhetoric was this year compared to '17. But compare him to the party's candidates in 2014, when Ds last had control of the Senate! $2k checks versus raising the minimum wage to, like, $8.50 — PolitiTweet.org

@Bencjacobs @Redistrict the gop losing a senate seat in alabama is one of those things that feels as if it'll be memory hole'd within the decade only to be -re-discovered, with amazement, by successive generations of younger generations of politicos — PolitiTweet.org

@Redistrict senators able to transcend presidential results are all basically unicorns at this point (this applies to Collins, too.) That Ds had all three was very fortunate for them. Plus, not sure we appreciated just how impressive Brown's win was in 2018 — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

How Ds won back the Senate in the Trump era: - Sunbelt breakthrough for Ds overcame losses in deep red seats (MO, IN, ND). Had zero seats in AZ and GA when Trump took office, now have all 4 (if you believe @Redistrict's call) - The sheer political skill of Brown, Tester, Manchin — PolitiTweet.org

oddly, the whole election might turn out to be an elongated mirror of 2018. Dems were initially unhappy w/results then and it took a few weeks before they realized it was actually a really good election 4 them. Happened again this time, only it played out over months, not weeks — PolitiTweet.org
