A Wave—but No Tsunami

… Whenever a party easily beats the point spread with seats to spare, it has had a great night. There’s no denying Republicans had a great night. Sure, this was a wave.

Whether to use a term like “wave” or even the one we coined in 1994—the “political tsunami”—is a question of semantics. It’s also in the eye of the beholder. Looking at the Senate, the main event in this election, this was absolutely a wave. In my mind, however, the results were still short of a tsunami. CONT.
