They’re energized against Trump.

I think you are absolutely correct about this. I'm just wondering, against what - lower taxes, higher wages, more jobs, higher stock market???

How do they run against that? What is their message? Is their message simply "we have to get rid of Trump"? Get rid of Trump to what end - higher taxes, fewer jobs.....?

It’s PURE HATRED towards Trump...and when turnout is 20% of the electorate, those are the only people you need. Some day, maybe, our side will finally start to understand the level of pure hatred in the Democrat base, and respond accordingly.

“””I live here, and it’s the candidate, stupid.”””


Mega dittos!!!! James Buchanan is a bad candidate who only got the Republican nomination because of papa Vern’s demand.

it is still a long way off and a lot of stuff is coming together against the Democrats right now, regarding their spying on Trump

That part is true. I just hope it breaks far enough before the mid-terms for the public to comprehend the depth of Dim corruption.

Not sure why the rep quit. We live in a neighboring district and I had not heard about the election until it was posted on FR earlier today

Of course. The Republicans are doing good, but do need to step up the pace a bit. If it’s too close to the election, the Dems will simply negate it by saying ‘it’s just politics’.

The current rep just quit and left .
Odd .
The Liberatarian did not help the situation .
She was well funded .
But nepotism is not a big motivator.

His son was a carpetbagger.

Congresscritter’s kid is parachuted into another district.

Hey, look at me - my Dad is famous!

A hit with the voters.

the seat should have been won by the Republican. but from what i understand, the district is kind of close registration wise.

So the Dems got their base out.

Had the country not fallen into civil war after he left office, James Buchanan could have won this election.

The GOP is going to lose these races unless we get our voters motivated.

The GOP is going to lose these races unless we get our voters motivated the RNC and Congressional Republicans stop stabbing their voters in the back, and start getting the Wall built, ObamaCare repealed, spending cut, and stop defending the Swamp.

There, fixed it for you.

The @FlaDems flipped House District 72, which backed Trump by 5% but then backed Dem Margaret Good by 7 points. Good won more precincts in the district than any Dem in recent memory. Look at all the blue #flapol #sayfie
