Annoying, but we actually did better than before...only lost 7 points here. The thing to remember about these special elections is that the Democrats and the media have a PERFECT SYSTEM for them now. The Dems use their social media conduits to alert their people, while the media essentially imposes a blackout, so Republican voters have no clue that there is even an election.
Obviously that won’t be nearly as effective in the mid-terms, thankfully.
They’re energized against Trump.
That may or may not be enough to help them flip Congress.
Conservatives can’t afford to be complacent.
Every time the R's lose one of these, it is poo-pooed as no big deal. It seems to me that if the Dims have a "perfect system" then it will be a problem for the R's in the future.
Whatever the reasons for losing these elections in various states, it doesn't seem to me that it is a very good sign for the mid-terms.
Bingo. Then after the election they run to hype stories like this.
