The only reason why dems won was that only 11% of 2016 GOP voters showed up yesterday while 74% of Dem voters showed up

She was a dreadful candidate. The GOP has a talent for picking people impossible to support.

The job of the candidate is to inspire the voters. The voters don’t owe anybody anything.

If trump goes off the rails on gun control it is not complacency he has to worry about. You piss on the 2nd the pubs will lose every swing district and Donald will become Donald Lame Duck.

LS has a short thread with some some insight on this race:

1) A word on the KY state house race all the whacktard Ds are crowing about. Yes it was a “blowout”-—a district Trump won by a massive margin, now the D won by an equally big margin.

Big, big “however”:

This had nothing to do with turnout, “muh blue wave,” or anything.

The guy who killed himself and opened this seat was six kinds of strange to begin with. Maybe the voters thought his widow would be more of the same and stayed home?

Wouldn’t it be awesome if Democrats were so stupid as to stay home for reasons like that?

The GOP is full of brainless voters that make a virtue of tossing elections and thinking that makes the mess the Dem will reek somehow illagitamate.

So this is the new idiot narrative the right will push to justify their loce of sticking a gun in their mouths and pulling the trigger?

No, nitwit, Trump isn’t going off the rails on anything, but the average idiot on our side will believe anything to justify their intellectual laziness in order to put a Democrat in a seat, and play victim.

Yea, there is a lot more to the story than “complacency”.... the guy died in office and they put his wife up for the seat... that rarely goes well....

You hand a seat to a Democrat over style, then you are an idiot and deserve you newmy elected lib ignoring your whining over all of the stuff they will do for the other side.

Or do you think it won’t affect you?

The GOP moves Left and it pays the price. No one shows up or in my case I show up and write in names instead of voting for Republicans.

I’ve been doing that pretty much since 2014.

I voted for Trump and a few others, but the rest are blank or write-in.

They are wildly spending money in Washington right now and plan to raise gas taxes this year for “infrastructure”.

I don’t have to vote Republican and won’t vote Republican with all that going on among other things.

Nope. The incumbent was an R who committed suicide in 2017.
