The Republican Party mocked the media and the Democratic Party in a video released late on Tuesday after their desired « blue wave » failed to materialize.
The first half of the video shows members of the Democratic Party and members of left-wing media outlets predicting a « blue wave, » while the second half of the video is set to « My Heart Will Go On » by Celine Dion, which is the theme song of « Titanic. »

The ad comes as multiple left-wing media figures expressed their disappointment, anger, and sadness over the Democrat’s failed « blue wave. »
« Well, I’m in midair but online. And not happy, » tweeted leftist New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. « The House could go either way, but clearly Republicans are doing better than expected after a closing argument based entirely on fear and lies. This is going to be very grim. »

CNN’s Jim Acosta: « When the House (but not Senate) went to GOP under Obama in 2010, it was a big deal. If it switches back under Trump, also a big deal. You can call it a wave, a ripple or whatever. In fact, NYT called it a « wave » for GOP in 2010″
MSNBC’s Chris Hayes: « #Hottake 1: D house performance in 2018 was comparable to GOP performance in 2010 for 2 reasons: overall pop vote margin was about the same and CRUCIALLY, D’s had a much bigger majority in 2010 (257 seats!), so were overexposed.
