No matter how we spin it, Beto lost. Yes, my county went Democratic. We did for Hillary in 2016, too. Here are my take-aways.

• The neighbors removed the signs this morning.
• I got to commiserate via text with my college kid last night.
• I have twitter friends that are sobbing with me.
• The House of Representatives is now a check on the president.
• I can start to focus on other topics of conversation.

Aren’t you glad?
