Republican friendly gerrymander in VA?!? What?

[Bullish]

No they didn’t. They did just fine. It’s that asshat Bevin who had a bad day and for good reason.

[pnut22]

Headline is nonsense.

[dp0622]

Anybody who actually followed pretty closely while I was getting drunk have an opinion on how it went for Rs?

NJ pick ups are a good sign.

Kentucky gov loss COULD have been the libertarian.

Maybe they’re leaving out the bad stuff because what I read on this page seemed kinda good.

thanks in advance.

This guy is a clown and has no business being an analyst for anything.

Let’s look at Virginia first. This was NOT a GOP gerrymander. The 4th Circuit redrew the maps and made it a Democrat Gerrymander. The fact that this moron doesn’t mention that disqualifies all of the rest of his analysis.

The GOP tallied more votes Statewide for both the House of Delegates and the State Senate.

The total votes for the HOD was:
860,794 Republican
823,369 Democrat
55,184 votes for other

For State Senate it was:
843,576 Republican
808,605 Democrat
112,917 other.

The Democrats “won” by getting a Kalifornia Communist “Professor” to gerrymander the maps to benefit the Democrats. Gerrymander is good when it benefits Democrats, it is bad when it benefits Republicans.

Mississippi, the GOP cleaned house. Winning ALL statewide offices and gaining seats in the legislature and getting a super majority in the State Senate.

Kentucky: the GOP EXPANDED their margins EVEN in the Suburbs for all of the offices except for Bevin.

New Jersey: the GOP made several gains in the State Legislature.

All in all the GOP had a B night. Would have been a B+ if Bevin had won. A if they had held on to one of the gerrymandered houses in Virginia.

I’m sick of self important worthless clowns who can’t analyze anything spewing their trash and getting paid for it.

Bad Day? Why? because an unpopular candidate who was down 17 points in the polls just a few short weeks ago lost by 5k after a single Trump visit, and every other R in that state won their statewide races by larger margins than last time?? Oh no... what a horrible, horrible day (/sarcasm)

Because we retook MS and LA Governorships?? Hold me back... take my belt away and put me on suicide watch....

Yes VA is disappointing, but not surprising... if you get elected simply because you give someone the bird, clearly the state is lost, and will have to screw itself for a decade or two before it wises up.

[dfwgator]

Bevin lost because he sucked. It is what it is. Says nothing about Trump, if anything, Trump made it closer than it would have been.

[Prince of Space]

What a bad lede. I’m surprised I even read the rest of the story, seeing it’s coming from Steven Hayward, a Never Trumper. He totally missed the fact that Tucson rejected the proposition to become an official “sanctuary city.” That town is the bane of our existence as far as rationality in our otherwise logical state.

[ScottinVA]

That was absolutely NOT a “Republican-friendly gerrymander.” WTF is that fool smoking?

[rollo tomasi]

Yesterday had something for everyone to gloat about.

As for next the November election, only God knows.

[backwoods-engineer]

It does not matter if Washingtonians vote against affirmative action. Just like in CA, it will be RAMMED DOWN THEIR THROATS by a Federal judge.

[Political Junkie Too]

In Texas, voters passed a proposition requiring a super-majority vote to enact a state income tax, largely seen as a defensive measure against a blue takeover of the state.

-PJ

[Political Junkie Too]

In Tucson, voters overwhelmingly rejected a sanctuary city referendum.

[kempster]

Didn’t Trump lose VA in 2016? The previous governor, friend of the Clinton’s, Terry McCauliffe, insured that.

[Eddie01]

This is some BS propaganda.

[jmaroneps37]

Here’s why the writer should have taken a deep breath before writing: 1)Colorado a Democrat state soundly defeated an attempt to weaken the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights 2) In New Jersey Republicans flipped three Assembly seats (yes they are still FAR behind) and a State Senate seat that is the old seat of a targeted Dem Congressman (53/47) who voted against impeachment 3) Washington State stopped an attempt to bring back affirmative Action 52/48 AND the opposition was led by Chinese Americans who obviously saw a hole in the Democrats’ voter plantation and ran out. 4) 42% Hispanic in liberal Tucson voted 71/29 against making the city a sanctuary city.
5) By 15 point margin, Kentucky voted for a Black man as its Attorney General for the first time ever. 6) Forget about the victory at the top of the ticket, Mississippi’s Republicans voted in its first female and first African American Attorney General and had a clean weep in all elections. Miss is 38% Black and Democrats could not get them to vote for them. 7) In Virginia, a blue state because of Northern Virginia,Twenty five percent of the Democrat winners ran unopposed. As I said think and take a breath before writing.

Comment I posted in Free Republic worth consideration by Rush
In FR postings so far none have mentioned what voter turnouts were in those states having elections. Any analysis of the results which doesn’t include turnout is worthless when considering the impact on the 2020 potential result.

I was shocked that WA voted almost like a normal, sane state yesterday. Rejecting affirmative action, repealing a huge car tab tax, repealing a slew of other taxes. Socialist Sawant may have lost her seat on the Seattle City Council. It was still a bit mixed, but surprising.

[Lurking Libertarian]

Their losses especially in many suburban areas (such as around Philadelphia) are not a good omen for next year.

What happened in Pennsylvania? I have not seen any coverage of it.

Until someone communicates a concise strategy on how we will produce conservative children across all demographics, it really doesn't matter who wins in 2020 or whenever.

We will follow the Titanic, get used to it. The only life belt I know of is Jesus Christ and His Kingdom.
