As Twitchy reported, just shy of two weeks after Election Day, Alaska’s Mark Begich has conceded the Senate race to his GOP challenger Dan Sullivan. And, well, that really doesn’t sit well with The New Republic’s Alec MacGillis:
Begich concedes #AKSEN. And with that, a state w/ fewer people than Columbus, Fort Worth and Charlotte finds out who its 2nd US senator is.

@AlecMacGillis It’s almost as if that’s why we have a Senate.

Hey, Alaska. This guy doesn't think the Constitution applies to electing your Senators. Population or something. https://t.co/D29DCtJ3kr

Wait. Each state gets 2 senators regardless of population? Should we do away w/this when we end the midterms? @charlescwcooke @AlecMacGillis

@Popehat @AlecMacGillis Stupid 1787 Connecticut compromise. Stupid Constitution. Stupid democracy. Unless my guy wins, then it's all good.

Fortunately for Alec, he doesn’t have to suffer in silence.
.@AlecMacGillis You know, they make medicated powders for that butthurt. You don't have to suffer on Twitter.

Just one thing for MacGillis to keep in mind:
@AlecMacGillis I have good news and bad news. Good news: there is a cure for butthurt. Bad news: its not covered by Obamacare.
