Democrats in the political and media wings of the party are handling the election results like a kid that endlessly nagged his parents and fully expected a pony for Christmas, and only found a videogame that all his friends already have under the tree. Now, make no mistake, getting control of the House is what Joe Biden would call a BFD, though I am far from certain they will be able to run the House in a way that helps them in 2020.  But Democrats clearly expected more than they ended up with.

Kudos to CNN’s Dana Bash for admitting it outright:
