There’s nothing to see here, just Democrats winning in blue states.
Too bad, no one bothers to defend Trump at all, even in his own party. Despite denial, a 24/7 drum beat of everything negative does take a toll and does harm.
One of these districts was never won by a Democrat in history! The other was a district Trump won by 60 points!
This is not surprising to me. MSNBC is number one. CNN is number two. The left is much more active online than they were prior to the election. They are showing up to the Townhalls, and we allow our Reps to get abused as our people aren’t showing up. Our people are not fighting back. I did a whole article on it and what Trump’s people can do (posted in my tagline).
We are not on the offense, the media is controlling the narrative, and the feckless Republicans are acting as they usually do (virture signaling to the media and undermining Trump). If they can’t get things done, they will show they can’t govern. If Trump’s people don’t go on the offense and take control of the narrative, this Russia spin and the relentless media attacks will hurt him.
“Dismissing these as minor blue state losses is spin. Trump’s single-digit margin in the New Hampshire district might suggest that it’s a swing seat, but it’s not: Democrats had never won it before last night.”
They said that about this race in 2009:
“New York’s 23rd congressional district has historically been one of the most Republican districts in the United States. The district’s seat had been in Republican hands since 1873.”

Yup.
The Repubs work harder to back stab Trump than they ever did to oppose Obama.
So where is the surprise?
As a life long Repub, the Repub leadership and most of the followers make me sick these last 8+ years.
Useless eaters, most of them.
State legislature.
“The worry for the GOP is that an unpopular president plagued by controversy and scandal could drag down the party — particularly if liberal enthusiasm and anti-Trump intensity drives strong Democratic turnout, while complacent or demoralized Republicans disengage from the process. “
1. He’s popular.
2. All the fake news efforts to gin up controversy are starting to sound psychotic.
3. Republicans are the exactly opposite of “demoralized”. MAGA!
That’s an incredibly ignorant statement.
Whatever house members or senators these states as Rs are needed.
If districts are being flipped at the local level, they may be flipped at the state level.
But ignorance is bliss so enjoy yourself :)
