NON print version:
That someone who doesn’t know if they are a man or a woman can get elected speaks volumes about the intelligence of the electorate.
Well, this is a catastrophic defeat for the Republican Party as it currently exists, no doubt about it.
And losing the HOD is a substantive victory for #the resistance.
Trump needs a political party to support him and to bring actual Americans into the process. And that party is not the GOP.
So the District of Corruption voted against cleaning out the swamp. Shocking.
Virginia and New Jersey vote to raise taxes.
Ones like Maddow and O’Donnell could have made the same sort of pronouncements about the Soviet Union and East Bloc in the 1970s and 1980s (no big surprises about elections in those places back then, eh?).
Democrats win in blue states? I suppose that does count as a major victory for democrats these days...oh well, let them have their fun, nobody will even remember these off year elections by this time next week anyway...
Dems win Dem states
earth shattering
How is winning in a blue state something special? If they took over Texas and Florida, that would be something good for them. But as of now, they still look pretty bottled up to me.
Given that Hollywood produces loads of remakes and masturbatory material, this does sound like the work of a screenwriter.
Next they will take back Massachusetts and Connecticut, and then New York! Before 2020, they will win back the entire west coast. They better start working out. They have lots of celebrating ahead of them.
Virginia has about 5.5 million registered voters. Almost 4 million votes were cast in the 2016 presidential election, with Trump getting 44.4% of the vote. Yesterday, 2.6 million votes were cast, with Gillespie getting 45% of the vote. Furthermore, Northam's 1.4 million votes is short of Trump's 1.8 million votes. That is HARDLY a referendum. Indeed, I didn't do the math, but I suspect those percentages are statistically equal to one another.
As for NJ, keep in mind CC got elected on the tails of Corzine and his inept (even by NJ standards) leadership. He was re-elected right after Hurricane Sandy, bolstered by hugging Obama. His arrogance (even by NJ standards) and coattails carried over to Kim Guadagno. She didn't stand a chance.
Finally, in NYC, Comrade de Blasio won 62% of the 21% of eligible voters that turned out. 'Nuff said.
So go ahead, MSM and statists of all kinds...think this is a sign of the Trump Nation train starting to derail. PLEASE...PLEASE...keep thinking that way, all the way to 2020.
What are they so excited about? VA is a blue state. The governor lost a 13 point lead and only won by a couple percentage points. The republican did not embrace President Trump. This was not a referendum on Trump, unless you want to say those who stayed home did so because Gillespie was an anti-Trump establishmentarian.
MSNBC now has three openly-gay anchors.....Madcow (weeknights), Steve Kornacki (weekends) and Thomas Roberts (mid-day).
O'Donnell and Maddow could barely contain themselves when announcing this news.

Our changing demographic culture is ruining our Republic. We’ve admitted or have been invaded by a hundred million immigrants who are not assimilating. It’s been a quiet coup. Now it’s in our face.
I’m beginning to think it’s over.
WE HELD THE GOVERNORSHIP!!!! YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!
They should consider themselves lucky as the RINO’s ran a RINO instead of a Conservative.
They both ‘lost it’ long ago. Two real zeros.
A Democrat winning in VA isn’t exactly earth shattering. LOL!
Nothing really surprising happened last night.
Virginia has had one Republican Governor in the last 15 years. Trump lost that state in 2016.
New Jersey, well Christie was there 8 years and it was time for change and Christie had been not just lousy, but arrogant and did not help the situation one bit. NJ had 4 previous Democrats in office since 2002. So again no big surprise.
Trump lost both states so no referendum on him one way or another. Let the Idiots Gloat, nothing really changed.
