The Dems lost special election in very red states... If a Dem had taken over then it would have been a huge upset. What was expected to happen happened. If you really want to dig into it, the margin of victory by the Reps that won was much smaller than historically expected.The democrat party lost the last five special elections and the presidency and most governors and both houses of congress and over three thousand state and local elections in the last eight years. That's reality. The leaderless incoherent democrats are now questioning whether they should support Nancy Pelosi who has been the spokesperson for democrats for a freaking decade. That's reality. Now President Trump's off handed tweak to democrats about solar panels on the border wall is cause for concern on the left. You almost gotta laugh.Thats an awfully optimistic story you tell. Come out of your bubble and join reality.While democrats are chasing Russian shadows Trump is winning elections and running circles around them. I think the solar panel idea might have come off the top of his head while he was talking to Iowans and it worked. Now the dem's are attacking Pelosi. You gotta laugh
The Dems tried to build up the Georgia election as a rebuttal of Trump, that was a mistake. But don't go running around like Trump won some crazy victory that reenforces a mandate. The country is as divided as ever and Trump is only making that division worse.
Elections or voting in the summer usually doesn't produce a high turnout. People are not paying attention or on vacation. They pull that stunt here when trying to get a school levy passed. They put it to another vote in the middle of summer because they know it will pass that way. They call all the parents of children in the school to remind them when to vote.
