To expand on what you said.
12th Dist in 2016 voting R-243,970, D-109,455, G- 12,848. To me it looks like the Dem’s max out their voters with 99,820 but the Repub did not with 101,574 that leaves Repub with 142,396 to play with and get out come Nov 2
Before November, the GOP in each state better get their acts together. Knock on doors, call voters, hold barbecues, picnics, whatever to get people energized. Ohio is finally getting their people back to work all because of Trump. If they want to continue working, they better get their rears to the polls in November!!
The WalkAway movement is energizing new Trump voters as well as the Black and Hispanic voters are changing parties.
And, a lot of the scandals should be breaking wide open before the mid-terms and not a positive for the Marxist RATs who are involved up to their treasonous eyeballs.
And this loss will demoralize democrats too. They’re playing it like it doesn’t matter but you could see their faces today...
They managed to get a high percentage turnout, but alas, it was not enough. :^).
the GOP has done nothing but stall and even PUBLICLY fight against POTUS and his agenda, with tax cuts being the exception.
Trump ran against this kind of establishment BS with the GOP as he did with Dems.
His voters don’t like either party much, or at least the once who crossed over to vote R for the first time.
Look, if GOP turnout is low in November, we’re in trouble.
But I have no reason to expect that. Dems have a hardon for these special elections, our voters simply don’t. With normal GOP turnout, we’re fine.
As for this seat in particular. Looks like certain sources predicting an easy win were wrong and the polls were on the money. :/
But Pete, I think you have may have touched on Balderson’s biggest problem, dude is from the sticks. We needed a proven vote getter in Delaware county.
Some knobgobbler on twitter had the nerve to write that Balderson should thank Kasich, cause Trump rural counties had low turnout and “Kasich stronghold” Delaware county “came through” for him. Delaware County was very close and sure as hell didn’t “come through”!!! If not for that Trump rally I think we’d have been looking at Tip O’Neill Jr. there beating Balderson. Kasich tried to sabotage him!!! Swine!!
Fox News is reporting that over 500 uncounted ballots have been found giving the Democrat an additional 190 votes. The aim seems to be to get a recount and the Democrat can cruise to victory. They still have over 8,000 absentee ballots to count and those results will not be made known until Aug. 18th.
87%! That’s unheard of. Those are approaching Stalinist numbers…
mailman, lol, I had forgotten about that. Thanks for the chuckle.
Has the election been called or are they waiting for those ballots to be counted?
I saw Rhonda Romney all over cable news, yesterday.
I’d like to know how much $$$ and GOTV effort was put into theee races, by the RNC.
And, what are the plans for midterm ads, canvassing, etc??
There are SO many issues to expose the new socialist Dems on and great MAGA happenings to tout, and I just seem to be hearing crickets.
Total BS that this is even happening.
