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

We don't need Republicans like the above in the party - that type should follow Joe Scarborough and LEAVE the party.

Too bad. Now the OK House split is 72 Republicans to 28 Democrats.

After charges like that the incumbent’s party is guaranteed to lose. Unless it’s in Massachusetts.

Both elections replacing Republicans accused of malfeasance in office - hopefully just the voters punishing the party for members who couldn’t meet even basic standards of decent adult behavior.....

No reason to panic. These were extremely low turnout elections in a state with a GOP supermajority where the people they were replacing were moral reprobates (hence, spanking the local party). As soon as they start voting moonbat, they won’t survive a regular election in 2018.

Republicans need to stop electing adulterers and child molesters in the bible belt.

Sarcasm please!

Just Republican perverts doing what Democrat perverts haven’t had a chance to do yet!

In Congress, Republicans who have these kind of behavior resign or are forced to resign. If the Democrats do it, they get praised and reelected - Rep. Gary Studds (D-Mass), for one.

According to media reports??? national Republicans are avoiding meeting the public when they go home because of Trumpcare upset.

Not good.

But turnout was VERY low, can’t call it a rat wave. No one was paying attention to these, obviously including the state GOP.

Seats were vacant because of GOP scandals that probably had much more effect that national politics.

GOP State Senator in OKC was caught with an underage male prostitute, ugh. Seems like a competitive district, that one, only a 10 point hold in 2014 and was rat before 2010.

And GOP State Rep in Tulsa had sexual harassment scandal, that seat seemed very safe, until last year (59.5% R) it had not even been contested since 1998. We shouldn’t have trouble taking it back next year.

It’s reminiscent of a scandal in TN 15 years ago. A respected Republican State Rep in a heavily GOP area named Keith Westmoreland was on vacation and decided to show some teenage girls Mr. Winky. When the news broke, Westmoreland went home and ate his rifle. The election was held later that year and a Black Democrat, Nathan Vaughn, took his seat (in a heavily White area, I might add). He actually managed to hold the seat for 3 terms until losing in Zero’s election in 2008. He tried to get it back in 2010, but lost in a landslide. It’s now back to 80% Republican again.

The RINOs of the former republican party are all One World Government cronies. They were stunned that Trump won and cost them even more ground in pushing the former great Republic of America further into a dictatorship of the left. If Hillary had won, it would have given them everything they wanted. But, she lost. These are small victories for the commies, but every win for them is a win. They will keep sniping away at Trump and hope to deal him a loss in the next congressional elections and hope to take away the house and senate. Even if Trump wins the WH again, if they control the house and senate, there will be nothing he can do for the next four years. The goal of the left is to drive this nation into another Cuba or Venezuela and destroy the nation as founded. Our kids are pounded daily in the public schools and colleges and they believe this crap. We, the conservative, Christians, side of the Republic are slowly dying off, getting older, and are being replaced by kids who don’t know the truth. Eventually, when we are all gone, America will be another France. That, I am glad to say, I will not be around to see.

I’m more surprised they weren’t Democrats.
