Democrats Flip Zero Seats in Four Blue State Special Elections
Washington Free Beacon ^ | March 3, 2017 | Andrew Kugle

Democrats have failed since Election Day in November to take any Republican-controlled seats in four special elections in blue states, despite hefty investment from the Democratic Party.
.

.
There were four elections that Democrats hoped to win to show their resistance to Trump could be translated into electoral victories. The elections were in Virginia, Minnesota, and, most recently, Connecticut–all states Hillary Clinton won in the 2016 presidential election.

I don’t care what the states are. What is the history of the districts ? Even blue states have red districts and vice versa

There is nothing original about these evil liberals... It can be no coincidence they selected the word 'resistance' as an attempt to reenact the 1940's French 'resistance'. Bunch of devils.

Be prepared for the democrats to take Ryan Zinke’s seat in Montana.

I cannot fathom any Republican winning the now vacant seat.

We lost one in Delaware and Connecticut we didn’t stop the majority in the State Senate. Not sure why they were left out of the article. I think we need to win everything in order to get Trump’s agenda passed. And yes that includes more state majorities.

I’m guessing they were previously held by Democrats so they didn’t flip.

The one in Delaware was previously Democrat.

I’m not familiar with Montana politics. Why do you say that?

Some of these districts can swing to Republican _after_ a few years of MAGA.

Most folks have learned that is best to ignore what politicians say—they will watch to see what the pols will do.

DNC Perez bragged Democrats would show their resistance to Trump could be translated into electoral victories.

To add insult to injury, the Minnesota, Connecticut, Virginia Democrat losses are the states Hillary won in the 2016 presidential election.

We don’t have much of a bench in the GOP party here.

The ‘big’ Republicans are RINOS.

With a D Governor, Zinke as Interior Dept. head ‘under an atrocious Trump Administration’ the Dems are ready to take this seat.

Here are some data you can invoke in reply to my question posed on another thread and, it is too bad that I feel the need to have to say this: 'tis glad I am to know of it.

Americans are realizing that the Demonicrats, and the fifth-column media, are lying, perverted, murdering traitors.

...22nd district, where Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe campaigned for the Democrat, Ryant Washington. Despite the Democratic Party spending 42 percent more money, the Republican, Mark Peake, still won the race by 13.5 percent.

If this holds we could finally drain the swamp... country wide. Not just in DC...

It’s because of the 24/7 non-stop accusations we are winning.
Their Alinsky style politics is backfiring.
At a more general level the public sees there is nothing to the left’s continuous accusations against Trump.
I mean if they have solid proof put up or shut up.
On the otherhand there is considerable evidence that the left are in fact a traitorous criminal cartel.
