BULLETIN: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN - SEASON 5 EPISODE 20

Blue Wave? Insufficient.

Blue Tsunami? Not good enough.

To paraphrase "Arrested Development": Trump just blue himself.

Where do we START? Senator El-SAYED? Senator TALARICO? Governor ACTON? Governor HINOJOSA? EX-Senator Susan Collins LEARNING HER LESSON? Senator ANDREWS? Governor BOTTOMS? Senator HAMILTON? Senator FLANAGAN? Governor CROWLEY? Governor HAALAND? Congresswoman Ilhan Omar winning 76 to 16? Male Model but not Senator Jon Husted? And it looks like Derrick Van Orden out in Wisconsin, Virginia Foxx in a virtual tie, probably headed for a recount in North Carolina and Lauren Boebert going down in Colorado?

Looks like 255 or 256 Democrats in the House, and 54, 55, or 56 Democrats in the Senate.

It’s so big that Trump doesn’t even seem likely to try to do anything.

It’s so big that Trump told the New York Times just before 11 PM Eastern, he was quote “absolutely willing to accept those results. We’ll – you know – look forward to working with them. We’ll probably work something out.” Trump blamed the landslide on the fact he wasn’t on the ballot. 

And could it be enough to make Trump a lame duck within his own party? Will Republicans looking towards 2028 - in the House, the Senate, or for the Republican nomination - need to distance themselves from his now undeniable, quantifiable, baggage.
