Right wingers/GOP'ers in for a '18 shellacking, early elections seeing huge Dem gains

not only did the KS Repub Rep win by single digits instead of 20-30 pts, local Illinois elections are flooding gubmint with newly minted Dems, UUUUGE wave building, and accelerating...

WASHINGTON ― In a spate of local elections last week in Illinois, Democrats picked up seats in places they’ve never won before.

The city of Kankakee elected its first African-American, Democratic mayor. West Deerfield Township will be led entirely by Democrats for the first time. Elgin Township voted for “a complete changeover,” flipping to an all-Democratic board. Normal Township elected Democratic supervisors and trustees to run its board ― the first time in more than 100 years that a single Democrat has held a seat.

“We had a pretty good day,” said Dan Kovats, executive director of the Illinois Democratic County Chairmen’s Association. “We won in areas we normally would win, but we also won in areas Republicans never expected us to be competitive in. They were caught flat-footed.”

These may seem like relatively small victories ― we’re talking about municipal races in towns with tens of thousands of people ― but they fit with a broader pattern that should have Republicans on edge ahead of the 2018 elections: Progressive grassroots activism, exploding with energy since President Donald Trump’s win in November, is fueling Democratic gains in GOP strongholds.

.....Price's blood red GA seat next, could easily go Dem if he can win a run-off against the other 18 candidates

Hillary's a 6-1 favorite

Trump has no path to the White House

How will Dems stop Uncle Vlad from flipping ALL 25 Democrat Senate seats in the midterm?

 

[Iceweasel]

Nobody votes Republican anymore.

Hold the presses only 900 plus more seats to go before the democrats make up the loss and break even from the seats Obama lost.

I can't help but notice how much the Title / OP sounds like all those snowflakes who predicted a 'Hillary Landslide'.

REALITY CHECK:

1,000+ seats / positions lost

Back-to-back historic, record-setting political election losses

Nobody votes Republican anymore.

you nailed it

Are these the same people that were predicting a Clinton landslide last November, you know the election where the House and the Senate was going to swing into the Democrats favor?

Celebrating a mayoral election in a deep blue state a few miles from a Democratic stronghold and the murder capital of America.

It's worse than we thought folks!

There is no such thing as a deep-red city. Even Salt Lake City voted for the Beast. Especially one that is half black now that they're running for their lives from Obama's and Hillary's home town.

Pay attention.

Yes that explains Trump as President...morons.

 

[koshergrl]

Here we go.

They just don't learn. Hopefully they will be in prison and nuthouses soon, and we won't be subjected to this nonsense.

 

[Doc1]

Sure, you guys have been right so often over the last 6 years.
