Early returns showed Republican Adam Jarchow claiming a lead over Democrat Patty Schachtner in Tuesday’s 10th Senate District special election.

Another special election RATs thought they would win - good sign for 2018 -

It’s not over yet, though.

When did the rats claim they were gonna win these races?? They’re all local state elections, no?

[snarkytart]

The race came during signs of a rising wave of Democratic support in other elections around the country, with some observers calling Wisconsin’s 10th Senate District race a possible bellwether for the fall elections. A conservative group sponsoring Jarchow — the Koch brothers’-backed Americans for Prosperity — said in the run-up that “the eyes of the nation will be on western Wisconsin as voters go to the polls in the first special election of 2018.”/

I think you need to chill.

[11th_VA]

I should chill - and Trump needs to rally the base this spring and summer. Things could change with the tax law. The RATs might ‘dig in’ on the budget now - and not support anything ... just political thoughts running thru my head ...
