Well, they will cite how close it was as a “referendum.
Remember fake news media rules:
R wins by a few votes, “it’s close, Republicans must be worried, DemoKKKrats are thrilled”
R wins by 3-5 “Can’t take much from this, doesn’t mean anything”
R wins by 10-20, no reporting at all.
Yes. Joe Scarborough is seeing this as a victory for Dems, lol. Something about only toothless people vote for Republicans which marginalizes the party.
As you said: a victory is a victory. I’m not going to spend time agitating on margins. Do Dems do that? No!
It was close in OH because many didn’t even know about the election plus they are going to vote again for the same seat again in 2 months...Plus August is prime vacation time as well.
I’m reminded of the old joke about Pravda covering a race between the USSR’s fastest car and the USA’s fastest car. The results of the race were that the American car won, and the Soviet car came in second, but Pravda reports it as the Soviet car finishes second and the American car finishes next to last.
