The PVI for this district is R+12. The pathetic lying worthless media constantly conflates PVI with Trump's 2016 margin, even though they are two completely different things.
Just one problem here. Trump carried this district by 23 points in 2016. The GOP won it by 24 points tonight.
A district with an R+12 PVI went to the GOP by 24 points.
Get this... because the media won't talk about it ... Murphy outperformed President Trump's 2016 margin in the non-coastal counties by 4.5 points.
On top of that, Carteret and Dare County were slammed by Hurricane Dorian last week, and those are two very Republican leaning counties.
So essentially, despite being slammed with a hurricane, despite the media coverage, the GOP outperformed not only the PVI in this district, but also did 4.5% point better than President Trump 2016, in all but the battered coastal areas.
The rural areas are CRUSHING the rats.
Gee - I thought DRUDGE said it was “THIS CLOSE”...

We should celebrate these wins. Someone posted on DUmp that they should celebrate losses as if they were wins because it’s good for morale.
Go figure that one out...we’ve got the real thing!
because the dem always gets an extra 3% dead vote ?
And Republican Bishop wins in the 9th.
2/2 R victories. Great news.
It is also a strong reminder to be sure and get out the vote.
That’s great!
Can I get a Duffman OOOOOOOHHHHHHH YEEEEAAAAH!
Will be buried on page 10 of most newspapers.
Millions and millions of Soros Bucks wasted. Again...
Does somebody need a fricken math lesson? There was really 103% turnout? Time to trim the rolls.
Wasn’t the Dem up 4% in the polls yesterday? And gets slaughtered today? Yeah, Trump’s approval rating is only 44%.
Wow! “...The GOP won it by 24 points tonight....”
I wonder how the pollsters and the MSM are going to say how this happened, when the originally thought it was a toss up and a forerunner for a 2020 “Blue wave” Democratic take over?
Hey, Nancy! How’s your majority doing? Enjoy it while you can.

Yesterday the media was saying this was going to be a, “bellwether” election. Today? Crickets...
