Democratic gains reach deep into Trump strongholds
WASHINGTON, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Democrats captured majorities in both the Senate and House on Tuesday, scoring sweeping victories that reached deep into Republican strongholds as tens of millions of voters delivered a scathing rebuke to ​President Donald Trump.
The size and breadth of the Democratic wave were still coming into focus, but the party prevailed in states long thought to ‌be out of reach, including conservative bastions like South Carolina, Texas and Iowa.

What does this mean?
Trump’s legislative proposals will now face even greater resistance.

It means the election was a total repudiation of trump.  I feel the surprise was the election going from a blue wave to a blue tsunami as no one was expecting these seismic results with the 2 biggest stunners being 1) the dems flipping a senate seat in SC- last time the dems had a senate seat in SC was 1988 and 2) abbott getting shellacked in the TX governors race.  It will be interesting to see if the repubs are going to get on board and do what's best for the country or play stonewall politics once again.

Yes, it was a very bad day for Trump, in fact, it was a nightmare for Trump. I don't think he ever expected this result. The arrogant Trump, who thought his popularity was overwhelming and that Americans loved and supported his policies, I think he only discovered part of the shocking truth yesterday.

What matters to us now, as the Bitcoin community, is how this major shift will affect the legislation Trump has been attempting to push through. He will undoubtedly face much fiercer opposition, and I believe the most significant negative impact will be on the "clarity Act" which he failed to get passed previously.

I have read the views of many analysts, and they all write that the primary reason for such a heavy defeat for the Republicans was the rise in fuel prices, which significantly fueled inflation and harmed American farmers.Americans vote with their dollars.

Interesting bets, but why?
Why go through the process of impeaching Trump when you could pressure the president by investigating his cryptocurrency projects instead?
