Well Bigs, whether Trump is a douche or not is wholly irrelevant when it comes to considering facts and stats/results objectively. He could be the most honest and altruistic angel on earth.............and the facts and stats/results wouldn't change.
What's deranged is denying facts and stats/results because they don't align with one's preferences, worships, and loyalties.
Trump's campaign rallies and rhetoric quite likely kept the Senate under Republican control and gained the Republicans a couple of Senate seats (primarily rural, white, non-college districts). As I said, that's a win for Trump and company.
In the process of doing so, Trump helped the Democrats realize a record number of votes and pick up a whole lot of seats in previously Republican-held House districts ( ie more diverse, college-educated, female and suburban); districts wherein in the record number of midterm voters strongly opposed Trump's midterm rally rhetoric and policy proposals.
That's the reality of what happened as evidenced by the vote count breakdown. Denying verifiable reality is what's 'deranged', dude.
