60% is realistic. But I don’t think its going to be enough.
The Democrats scored a huge win in Trump country. And there are lots of districts like that around the country.
If they can find moderate candidates, they have a good shot at taking the House.
And endangered Red state Democratic Senators can figure how to keep their seats.
The GOP is complacent and overconfident. The election result is a wake-up call.
This should have been an easy win what with a boombing economy and so forth.

This is not acceptable. POTUS needs to light a rocket under the RNC and the Chamber of Commerce type donors.
And the thing is they only have to sound moderate when they are candidates!
Then they can come to DC and vote for left wing progressivism
Kinda like democrat taqqiya
Big question here, was the map drawn by the court used in this election? If so, then there were some Dem areas drawn into 18 I think.
Reality is that special elections are usually a toss up. Does not matter what the party or president did in a general on a presidential year. Totally different ball game with massive voter fatique And there was a scandal that brought this on. People doing any math and including the pickup on Algny absentee votes, are not running a balanced ratio. Still, these types of races are always toss ups. The GOP candidate was a bad candidate and still made up that much of a difference in the final week? That’s huge. As far back as he was, he should have been out early on.
Not the pattern Dems were counting on when considering a national bellweather stand.
GOP barely jumped into this race until the last minute. And there will likely be a recount. Expect votes to possibly be tossed.
Worked some races like this before. Watching folks take too much out of it has been a laugh.
Worked some races like this. They never seem to work as a meter on the midterm.
And people claiming the gop is complacent have no idea what they are talking about. The party is in panic mode about midterms. If they are smart, they won’t look at this race as a meter. Again, the dude was a bad candidate who said some really dumb stuff down a very bad campaign stretch.
Remember, just last week the media claimed two races in Texas were going to be a meter for the midterms. The Texas Land Commissioner won a 4 way primary outright that included the very popular former land commissioner. The Ag Commissioner was a crowded primary with solid ease. Both were pro Trump and supported by Trump. One was Bush.
Suddenly, after they cruised the primary and Texas had a sizeable difference in Republican voters over Dem voters, it was not a meter on the midterms. Same media that ran an all out blitz for the Dem in Penn 18.
In Summation of points, folks, calm down and quit seeing aliens in the trees. Quit saying crazy things like Trump should support certain dems in primaries. (That is a dead give away, by the way)
And also, people who claim that the guy they supported just two elections ago as “anti establishment” and now claim they are “establishment” don’t really come off even keeled.
Not saying any one in particular, just a trend you see on this website from time to time. Reminds me of that movie survivors. “professional (dung) stirrers.”
