What a night for women
A record number of women have been elected to the House of Representatives and they have played a crucial role in the Democrats’ win.
So far women have successfully taken 21 seats away from the Republicans, according to CNN, and the Democrats only needed to flip 23 seats to win.
The Washington Post says a total of 92 female candidates have won seats in the House, smashing the previous record of 84.
The surge of female candidates this year has drawn comparisons to the “Year of the Woman,” when in 1992 voters sent 47 women to the House, and four women joined the Senate bringing women’s numbers to six.
As CNN political director David Chalian said, this was “female-powered victory” for the Democrats.

How? They won't resign, history shows that they just don't care about getting caught doing bad acts, or even indicted.

b) that FISA DECLAS will be executed soon, causing removal of enough Dem representatives before Jan 1st to give control back to the Republicans?
That is how I see it playing out.
Remember there were a lot of pollies not standing this time, even long term ones. They know.

The Democrats needed that "Blue Wave" to give them control of the Senate, so they could control the Judiciary Committee. That having failed, all they can do is enjoy their consolation prize and wait for the indictments to come.
