Good grief. These are elections we should be winning especially after seeing how long they were in Republican hands before this election. Republicans have to get out to vote in all elections period.

Brooks will replace ex-state Sen. Ralph Shortey, who is facing three felony counts alleging he solicited a 17-year-old boy for sex.

The first warning was anyone named "Senator Shortey". It's like someone called someone "Rep. Weiner".

Republicans need to give people a reason to vote for them. Other than not being democrats what do they have to offer?

I don’t think that at all but I think it is lazy for us to lose elections that we have held for a long time for no good reason. We were on a 1,000+ streak. Why screw it up??????

While this is never good to see, it sounds like there were extenuating circumstances specific to these elections that made people want to punish the local GOP. I wouldn’t read too much into it at this point.

Both seats were vacated by Repubs where 1 was accused of sexual harassment and the other charged for child prostitution. I think that had a lot to do with motivation from Repubs to vote. No biggie lost, they can have those seats.

Did you even read the article?

One of the republicans resigned because he was involved in child prostitution and the other was accused of sexual harassment.

Are you surprised that democrats won?

I agree.
The people are punishing the party for the low moral standards of the POS’s involved.
A good candidate can flip them back at the next election.

Republicans also need not be POS, like the two whose seats were taken. That’s probably the more likely reason that the GOP lost the seats.

Yay for the media! They finally got the juggernaut repudiation of Donald Trump they’ve been looking for. It’s the beginning of the end for the Trump train.

Or not ...

Posting a healthcare bill with 50 Billion taxpayer dollars directly paid to insurance companies was suicide. They are worse than the dems because they lied about repeal. No love lost on the #exemptocrats
