First New Jersey and Virginia, then Alabama, then Oklahoma, now this. I don't know how much more winning I can take.

To be fair, these are all different problems - few are related to Trump.

New Jersey had the worst Republican governor in recent memory. The loss of that seat is all on Christie being a POS Governor than anything else.

Virginia's Republican majority shifted to a middle-of-the road due to population shifts and a largely ineffectual, impotent state government. The Republican party controlled EVERYTHING here, and they did jack squat but solidify their own power. People got fed up with it.

Alabama - Roy Moore. Enough said.

Oklahoma -

The special elections that Democrats won weren’t exactly normal ones. Both involved the resignation of the Republican in office; one was facing sexual harassment claims, and the other was facing three felony counts of solicitation of a 17-year-old boy.

- Even in a super red state like OK, it's hard to be the party stuck defending that.
