re: For those hoping Kansas would go Democrat tonight...

and you are using only the repub share for maximum effect. the democratic candidate got 29% in the last congressional race and 45% last night, so you are excluding a 15 pt increase for the (D)s. 2016 diff was 31%, last night it was less than 7%. still a 20 pt swing

There's so much wrong with your comparison.

First, the national Dems POURED money into the 2017 race. Compare the spending to the others. I suspect there would be a HUGE divergence.

Second, note that the GOP candidates were different. Pompeo was VERY popular and could have held that seat forever if he wanted, getting at least 60% each time. Estes was NOT that candidate.

AND...

a special election with depressed turnout.

But, whatever makes you feel better.
