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 contributor Peter Beinart: “tonight is feeling horrifyingly familiar”
CNN’s Van Jones: “This is heartbreaking, though. This is heartbreaking…it’s not a blue wave.”
CNN “Republican” Max Boot: “Many Republicans who lost were relative moderates. The House GOP caucus, indeed the entire GOP, will be Trumpier than ever. This completes the GOP’s transformation from a Reagan-Ryan conservative party into a white-nationalist party in Trump’s image.”
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. A GOP majority of 257 seats woulda lost 60 seats”
