Voters in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's hometown also rejected a crackdown on the "sharing economy," turning down an attempt by the city to regulate Airbnb, the web-based housing rental service that connects home-owners with people looking for a room for the night.
Sharing economy? Does that mean Pelosi has to give up a major portion of her wealth?

I’d caution anyone against reading too much into this year’s elections. This is an off-year election cycle and voter turnout is notoriously low in years like this.

Computerized voter fraud was not used this cycle so as to loll the public into a false sense of justice. You can fully expect it to be cranked up for the 2016 elections, though.

The new talking point is that these were merely ‘local’ elections.

That wasn’t the case where I live, in Western PA.
The Democrats swept all the judicial elections here in Allegheny County. Every single one.

Not hard to understand. Folks who vote for a living only work every four years.

It would be more accurate to say that Democrats took a beating. There are plenty of leftists in the Republican party.

>i>Democratic Governors Association Executive Director Elisabeth Pearson blamed the loss on the energy in the Republican Party created in part by Donald Trump.
In the 2010 wave election, Trump was still a Democrat. In the 2014 wave election, Trump was pretending to be a Republican. The Tea Party had plenty of energy in those elections too.
