I'm not usually a concern troll but this trend doesn't look good. I still think Trump is fine but maybe backlash against GOP? I know post is from CNN but couldn't find any conservative sites discussing these special elections only lefties like HuffPo.

How many congressional seats have we won? Those are quite a bit more important than state legislature seats.

The Republicans had a ridiculously successful 2016 in local races.

Most are based on local issues and decided with very low turnout in special elections.

Just saying...

This is state ####?

We’ve won a million seats the past few years statewide.

When it gets to 60 get back to me.

The usual Leftist media BS, making something out of nothing and completely ignoring all the actual Congressional seats the Republicans won that the media desperately hoped they’d lose.

Because they are inconsequential state house seats, separated by hundreds of miles, based on who knows what local issues?

We’ve had Democrats whole-sale just switch parties recently after losing thousands of seats the past 8 years.

FREEPERS IN THOSE STATES: YOU SUCK

Voter turnout is astonishingly low in primaries and off-year elections.

Just you and two or three buddies each can sway the outcome. FREEPERS ALONE can change elections. There are millions of us.

There were 6 people who vote at the place I went yesterday. Not 6 people in line, 6 people ALL DAY.

IF YOU LAZY ASSES DON'T GET OFF YOUR KEYBOARDS WE'LL GET SOMEONE LIKE HILLIARY AND PELOSI RUNNING THINGS AGAIN.

DON'T COUNT ON TRUMP TO BAIL YOUR ASSES OUT EVERY ELECTION.

Which of you could have voted and didn't? RAISE YOUR HANDS DAMMIT I want names...

Repubs in congress weaken daily with their failure to advance conservative bills.

What was the differential in campaign expenditures?

The Left is desperate for ANY win, “at any cost.”

Does anyone have any idea how insignificant one legislative seat in Oklahoma is worth? The Democrats don’t flip seats that count.

This article is akin to saying, the Dems have outscored the Republicans 6-0 . . . in the fourth quarter. Of course, the score is 156-6 but only the fourth quarter counts.

Wasn’t their some kind of sex scandal that several Republicans were involved with in Oklahoma? I believe that is the reason more than it’s against Trump.

A surge always backs off a little, doesn’t it....especially massive ones. And, please advise how many state houses have turned from R control to D as a result of these 6 nothingburgers. None, I’m sure.

The Riggers are hard at work, undoing the Nov election, one rep at a time.....just like the globals are undoing Brexit, one delay after another.

Maybe people are beginning to send a warning signal to Trump that we aren’t happy with the snake oil he seems to have sold us last fall.

If Trump had been on the ballot in these little elections, enough of his voters probably would have shown up to put the Republican candidates in office.
