KY is a Red State and this is a D flip.

Not a good sign. The district went R in 2016.

What kind of R did they run? Was it a MAGA R or a McConnell R?

More GOPe shenanigans I bet. They’re happy to lose control and force trump out so the GOPe can restore its power base.

Theres something going on and it’s not a reversal of people’s preferences.

People are just NOT going to vote for the Republican “because the Democrats are worse”.

Trump could have had his own party. He’s decided to own the GOP instead. Republicans who run on “I’m with him” are going to do fine.

But.

Most of them are not with him, and the voters know it.

She “won it back”- so is this is a “flipper” type of seat that goes back & forth on a regular basis?

Agreed. It’s utter complacency, and we’re still complacent, and we’re going to be complacent in November.

It’s time to pick up the energy.

D is likely a Blue Dog.

Breed is nearly extinct but they’re still some of them in the rural South.

Keep this up, and pretty soon, there will be an impeachment.

Sounds like there may have been a sympathy vote.

Not a good sign if you believe in honest elections. Am I supposed to believe this woman went from 49% to 70% support in a red state state in two years time. You can accept there is complacency on our side, but I’m beginning to suspect there will be massive vote fraud committed on a huge scale this November, and these results may be the sign of that occurring.

Hogg, Kasky, and the Parkland children are energizing the Democratic base and Independent voters, folks.

The GOP better get their head in the game, or 2018 will be a blowout.

Don’t be tone-deaf people, a lot of people don’t like the support of AR-15 by some conservatives.

Get your head in the game, folks.

The Republican had denied sexual molestation charges..........perhaps the Republicans were disgusted, too. And couldn’t be bothered to come out and vote.
