Headlines claiming a Republican Senate blowout are perplexing. Let me know if I missed something.
In four ruby-red states that Trump won by an average of 25 percent in 2016 and campaigned heavily in, he managed to lose two.
Two apparent victories in Florida and Arizona were by an average margin of only about 0.5 percent, which were less than the last Senate elections there.
A solid Senate victory in Nevada for Democrats in a race that Dean Heller ran on a Trump platform.
A competitive race in solidly red Texas.
Please help me understand.
