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.
It was a swing district.
Democrats poured a lot of money into the race and they brought out their voters and Republicans stayed home.
Not surprised at the outcome.
Well, if the Republicans go for raising the gas tax to pay for the cost of infrastructure - like they are talking about doing in committee - and they do not hold for exactly what Trump proposed on the illegals - like a 12 year path and money for the wall etc - they can kiss the midterms goodbye.

Don’t get wrong, I prefer to win, but I’m not going to jump off a bridge regarding these elections, for the reasons I noted (I was ready to leave the country if Hillary won). We’ll see in November, 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.
