The GOP is not in any danger of losing its majority in the State House and State Senate.

Why shouldn’t the Rats engage in massive voter fraud. Look at what they did in 2016. They were caught red handed and Sessions keeps sweeping it under the swamp. With Sessions minding the store they know they can steal anything they want and get away with it.

The DHS is coming out with a report on massive Democrat election fraud next month. Trump slid it in under the radar.

It's going to prove that Hillary stole six states in 2016.

What was the voter turnout %?

Very low turnout. 5,000 vs 18,000 in 2016. Looks like Trump voters stayed home en masse.

Sounds like there may have been a sympathy vote.

Not enough of one. Widow is the one who lost.

We’ve lost zero House seats in these special elections. We’ve retained every one. These state level seats are not garnering any interest on our side. That’s not relevant to national politics. We have an even game on generic congressional polling which leads to minimal changes. It’s an off year election so we face normal cycles of opposition during a presidency but nothing shows it as a big swing.

Yes. Electing Hillary would have much better, right?

In 12 months, the most accomplished president, ever, for *conservative* action, (which included reversing the communist idealist’s every jot and tittle) all while under fire from the entire universe. And you have a whine.

You have a comprehension problem, or are actually as accomplished as God, and are mad because no one knows it, or else you must believe your many accomplishments qualify you to sound so definitive. The nation should owe you a reserve for your right to play pointy finger at a man like Trump?

Laughable, if not so pathetic.

“And the fault lies squarely on the shoulders of Trump, and those who act as cheerleaders...”

No it doesn’t. The odds were always long that one man could defeat a 4 trillion dollar corrupt stasi state, both parties, corrupt courts, and the fakestream media. Trump is extraordinary not superman.

One man can be ‘gotten to’ in a million different ways by ‘our’ out of control deepstate.

“It’s going to prove that Hillary stole six states in 2016.”

My guesses (in terms of likely fraud) :

New Hampshire
Minnesota
Nevada
Colorado
New Mexico

I’m sure I’ll be surprised to see what number six is :-)

Either GOP rank and file are unaware of these special elections and rats are pumping everything they have into GOTV efforts in low turnout elections OR the enthusiasm gap is going to bury us this November. We know the rats are furious and will turn out. Will the good guys turn out in large enough numbers to protect the president? That’s the million dollar question.

I lived in KY for a number of years in a county in which the D’s outnumbered the R’s more than 2 to 1. They voted D for state and local elections but always voted R in national elections. An interesting phenomenon.

Hillary got 10’s of millions of fraudulent votes. If it were properly investigated, they would find she stole them all...Trump would have won all 50.

Thanks! It’s amazing how many blast off on incoherent tangents without doing any research.

Looking at the numbers, this was 50-50 in 2016 with straight ticket voting at 46% GOP. Trump got 73% of the vote in the county of this district. It would appear the GOP House candidate ran 23 points behind him and just barely won even with starting with a base of 46% - so nearly every person who actually voted without doing a straight ticket voted Dem even while voting overwhelmingly for Trump at the same time. In this case it was a special election without the straight ticket voting and this being the only race people were voting on, and with the GOP candidate being connected to scandal - her website indicates she would “continue her husbands work.”
