Last week Fox News minimized the blue wave of Democratic wins across the country to a ripple of stale water in a plastic kiddie pool. According to the folks at Fox Americans still loved and adored the glorious leader, Democrats were expected to win anyway and the Republican Party ran a bunch of poor candidates.
