Well, It Wasn't a Perfect Election, But. . . . .

It looks like we took the House.

And just to rub president "It's All About Me"'s face in it, there are the exit polls:

First, two-thirds of voters say the election is about Donald Trump. Some, like Donald Trump, might be happy about that, but the exit polls also place Trump's approval rating at just 44%, and disapproval at 55%. Worse for Team Trump, 47% are expressing strong disapproval.

MSNBC on-air notes that 16 percent of voters are first time voters, and 61% of them are voting for Democrats.

Trump sure can energize people, can't he?
