Those numbers are the kind that steals any joy (at least for me) at victory. It’s great we won but look at the numbers...92K voted for depravity, destruction, and essentially the overthrow of America. WTF?? And I don’t buy the ‘ignorance’ factor. Will have to research the demographics in that district later.
You may want to go back and do some research on this race. The Democrat was a military guy with an Ivy League background, and he ran a campaign where he never even mentioned his party affiliation at all.
As noted by a prior poster, the borders of the district were redrawn to make it more Dem-friendly. So this is actually a huge, huge victory.
Try living here in California.
It is very strange how many people have been brainwashed and bullied into voting for Democrats no matter what they say or do.
And then once 9n a great while you see a Schwartzennegar type event, and even though Arnold did lots of damage to the GOP brand, and the Dems gave him the Trump treatment from day one, there is still that ability for the people to make big changes when they set their minds to do so.
We have to tear the Dems apart over and over again, until we’ve got enough votes to fix our corrupt and broken institutions.
This is a generations long struggle for the soul of our country.
We keep allowing a million more Dem voters to come to US each year...we gotta stop that, or we’re finished.
In this case the Dem ran as an anti Dem middle of the road anti radical leftist. He was lying trying to get elected. The dem was a fairly good candidate who played up his military experience and tried to say he would work with conservatives and would not be pelosis boy. The district changed its boundaries to make it more competitive. So the margins were that close. Still a good win.
Here in CT the Democrats hold all five Congressional seats.
The only _victory_ we had here was when enough people left the state that our Congressional delegation dropped from six to five after the 2010 census. ;-)
