Assumption: Biden has a popular vote advantage of roughly 6M votes, doubling Hillaryous Balloon Girl.
Assumption: Biden will be the President-Elect [he's not yet because the Electoral College has not yet spoken, and the Constitution does not acknowledge the press' opinion]
Assumption: A popular presidential pick has coattails for down-ballot success.

So, why has the Democrat House lost seats, and the Senate leadership depends on a run-off race if all the above are true? 

Blue wave? Nope, but there sure is a lot of hot gas from regions I'd prefer to ignore. And y'all complain about GHGs affecting climate change? Are you kidding me?

Biden was never popular. Trump is despised.
