It’s all about the primaries. As MNJ says once they are over its too late we are stuck. If we want to get rid of the McCains, MccConnels,ryans, Kasicks we do it in the primaries or forget it.

[Williams]

My guess is Delaware pulls it out for Balderson. We’ll know soon enough.

[50mm]

You are correct. There are not enough commie votes left for O’Connor. Balderson wins!

[Wilhelm Tell]

It shouldn’t be this close. There are a lot of spoiled leftists who are somehow angry about their easy life in America and they want to exchange it for Venezuela-style socialism/poverty? And there are enough complacent Republicans who can’t bother to vote?

[central_va]

Apparently the rules are if we complain a lot about stuff the Republican will win.

This is the single closest election I have ever seen, save the 2000 Presidential.

[FreeReign]

Franklin County is done. 99.5% reported. The rest is Delaware County, which has not delivered as expected... but has delivered SOMEWHAT

Then it's a win for Balderson.

[fortheDeclaration]

When Trump goes the GOP will be the Whig Party.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Its Balderson’s victory as long as those Republicans in Delaware County voted for him..what are the odds Republicans went to the polls and voted for the Democrat

[JamesP81]

According to Laz he’s underperforming in Delaware. Hopefully it’s enough.

R voters can’t be this complacent in off year elections.

[Ken H]

Balderson down by 199, BUT... Franklin 99% in.

66 % remains in DE Co !!

[Right Wing Assault]

Franklin has ONE precinct out.

[edh]

“Franklin all in.”

Franklin still has one precinct outstanding ... leave nothing to the Rats :-).

[over3Owithabrain]

Trump is handling it well. He isn’t afraid to spend political capital or take short term hits for long term gain.

It’s amazing what a political genius he is for a relative newbie

[abb]

Call me Pollyanna, but the good news is the Dems dropped a sh!tpot of money on this race - for nothing.

[Lazamataz]

Then it's a win for Balderson.

Yabut this close will be a recount, and you know how THOSE go.

[4Liberty]

[fortheDeclaration]

True, but incumbents have such an advantage!

We need term limits.

[fortheDeclaration]

It won’t be this close in Nov, if the GOP wins the seat.
