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.
Well said. And the MSM retards if it was Trump’s fault that Ky voted for a Dem Gov.
That’s all they talked about. They didnt realize across the board, the GOP increase their seats in KY.
What was the source on those voting numbers for VA?
I agree, overall, last night was a B for the Republicans.
BUT
Republicans did not win the popular vote in Virginia. For the state Senate, it was:
1.2 million D votes, 54%
0.8 million R votes, 40%
with the remainder going to other (independents, third party and write-ins)
IF, if the races with no R or D candidate, I shift the entire “other” vote to missing candidate, then it’s
1.2 million D votes, 55%
1.0 million R votes, 45%
So, the D’s did have a big win in Virginia.
As for 2020, Virginia is below Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and. Michigan in terms of priority, and also below Minnesota and New Hampshire, and also below Nevada, Colorado and Maine-at large. It’s in the next tier, along with New Mexico.
