re: Democrats, are the election results all over our country lately telling you anything?

Lol, are you actually bragging about retaining a ruby red STATE senate seat that almost always sees the Republican incumbent run unopposed?

Because, if we're going to start counting state legislative races, the Dems have already flipped two seats in districts Trump won.

Honestly I think it is pretty much pointless attempting to have this conversation on a board that often treats politics and truth like a team sport.

The objective takeaway from last night is that the overall trend in these special elections has been Democratic momentum since November.

In every single major race since november, the gaps that were once stark, have closed dramatically. Performing on average roughly 10 points greater then historical trends of the last two elections. If that shift continued into next year(no guarantee), the Democrats would win the House pretty favorably.

But that argument would require people to accept the truth that these races have more to them then just W's and L's like it is a football game. People aren't ready to do that. Much like the left before November, they are ignoring all the little things that suggest the status quo is not safe.
