This election was a Watergate level tsunami. Not since 1974 have we seen this kind of sweeping revolutionary realignment in one night. The American people - both those who surged to the polls and republicans who stayed home - made a Declaration of Independence from corruption.
What happened last night was nothing short of a revolutionary repudiation of a would be autocrat and an entire GOP leadership that has been enthralled by him through the shocking corruption, bracing vulgarity, and the betrayal of the interests of their own most economically vulnerable voters.
A revolutionary repudiation.
