We asked Republicans and Democrats what the off-year elections could mean...
1. Good news for Democrats ....The Democratic base was energized [in Virginia]. The 2008 Obama coalition of millennials, minorities, single women and affluent educated suburbanites...]
2....can the lessons of Virginia work in states like Missouri and Indiana? ....there were limits to the Democratic victory in Virginia. They got their own coalition out, but they didn't make inroads with the Trump vote....
3. Democrats need a message that resonates outside of the suburbs In many states next year, Trump will not be the radioactive factor he may have been in Virginia this year.
4. Republicans are bracing themselves ....when a president's approval rating drops below 50 percent, his party loses an average of 40 seats. So Republican operatives are telling their clients who represent suburban seats and those in districts that Hillary Clinton won in 2016 to get ready, raise a lot money, and pay attention to their constituents.
5. The solution for Republicans is – GOVERN! Republicans say their main task is to show that they can govern. They need to pass the tax bill and make sure the government doesn't shut down. What they can't control is the president and his Twitter feed — both of which loom over the 2018 campaign.

Well said.
And, of course, another factor is the huge Rat voter fraud machine.
No, there is a big brown wave forming in the DemoRat Coastal big cities cesspools that will drown them as a reward for voting DemoRat for the past half Century.
“Who’s your daddy?”

‘Flawed’ candidate my ass.
I always thought she looked bug eyed like an insect with those bulging eyes. She looks like she has goiter or some other thyroid problem.
If all goes well, the state of Wisconsin will be renamed the State of Foxconn ...
