It is very much a local result. There was a frickin sex scandal that led to the mid term. and a dud candidate who could not raise money. And if the dem wins, which no one will not until tomorrow and after a likely recount, it still does not help them because the gop candidate made up all that space in about a week.
The tax cuts are offering huge results for the gop. And the gop will talk about it now on the way to the second half of summer. There are actually republicans who have people thanking them for the vote when they see them in public.
They will very likely tout that in the campaign. It scares the dems big time. They tried every thing they could to stop that bill for a reason.
This is what I was thinking of when all this started to hit the fan. There wouldn't even be a damn special election if the 'Pub Congressman (Murphy) would have kept his noodle in his pants when it came to screwing around with a mistress and reportedly asking her to get an abortion all the while claiming to be pro-life. That is the kind of scandal that is going to tarnish the brand of any 'Pub candidate who tries to hold the seat. I don't understand why these people have to screw up like this. How difficult is it to simply say no to one's baser proclivities and so lead a moral life? I'm no saint, but I know enough not to screw around and betray my marriage vows.
I wouldn’t suggest ignoring the results. I would prefer the GOP panic. They need to wake their asses up. They’re getting their asses kicked. Ronna Romney is clueless and the republicans need to put up better candidates.
The previous congressman’s sex scandal is not an excuse for this loss. You don’t lose Alabama and districts Trump won recently won by 20 points. I would prefer Republicans wake up now before they lose a lot more.
