Member when the media said every special election spelled DOOOOOOM for the GOP in 2018? Notice that there is NOTHING about this anywhere.
The typical "concerned" trolls that liked to come on here and post various GOP special election losses for dog catcher in a random Blue State are SILENT when we have a result like this. This was a 38 point win in a swing district and the media is SILENT.
I member.
Thanks for good report!
How can this be Presiident Trump is down 15 points to slo joe
That being said staten island is almost a seperate country compared to nyc
AOC won 60 something percent of democrat vote......just unbelievable...this after she cost that district thousand of jobs!!!
Is there something about Nathan McMurray that voters did not like?
Well that’s good news
Do you know what the vote count was in the last election? Just curious about participation rate.
Chris Collins (R) 140,146 (49.1%)
Nate McMurray (D) 139,059 (48.8%)
This is extraordinary. He beat the combined field by more than 100 percent. He more than doubled them up.
2018 was something of an aberration given Collins’ personal problems. Collins won in 2016 with 67% and in 2014 with 71% of the vote. Trump won by 24 points in 2016. The district is considered the most right leaning district in NY.
Still, this is an impressive win, better than the Trump margin in 2016. It bodes well for Nov. Reps are energized.
Does this include the absentee ballots?
Some folks are starting to pay attention that their rights in this nation are being slaughtered by the commies and are paying attention to what is coming if they don’t freaking wake up.
Joe leading in the polls? The dems will be drowning in their own lies, won’t know up from down, won’t know reality even after it crushes them.
I believe it is the southern tier area of upstate NY. Great win... Hope more Upstate NY districts will get more R votes this year...
Why was the seat vacant?
About as strong a candidate as you could get. He’ll have to run again very soon, but great to see.
“Member when...”
I know you dropped the re just for fun, I have done a lot of that myself but I am trying to stop, too many people don’t know the difference. I am 76 and I see people on TV who are supposed to be leaders using language that would have caused me to flunk fifth grade English in a tiny public school in SC in 1954 and they are not just having fun, they are just uneducated, regardless of how many worthless degrees they hold. Just my opinion, I don’t mean to be critical of you but it seems that English is being deconstructed which, at least for me, takes all the fun out of playing around on the keyboard, have a blessed day.
Chris Collins won in 2016 67.2% to 32.8% and he was a flawed candidate in 2018. So really not much has changed.
TexasGurl got #swag!
Smashing victory. Even the splitters didn’t matter.
OK so this is a counter narrative to Republicans losing the Senate, which pretty much all pollsters are predicting.
