Dems 2018/20 Blue Wave!
Thanks to Navy Patriot and ObozoMustGo2012 for the above!
crap analysis by MSM and RATS.
Flake won his seat by a 3.02%
It’s more than a little worrisome that Debbie Lesko should narrowly beat a Hiral Tipirneni. Someone with an out-from-left-field exotic foreign name should not only lose by 6% - it should be a landslide loss. Mid-terms are usually (relatively) better for the GOP because Republicans always vote, whereas Democrats tend to do mainly presidential years. Still, a win is a win is a win, and there are six months to get ready for the big game.
And a decades-long GOP seat in Long Island just went blue.
No time to get complacent!
This was a win, but it proves the Dems have a huge momentum gap in their favor.
This was a highly red district, the Dems nearly got Presidential year turnouts in this special election, while the Republicans didn’t even match a midterm turnout. They only held because the district was so red it held....
Folks celebrating this win are fools.
The GOP better get onboard with MAGA and start proving to the MAGA non traditional, non base voter that they have a reason to care and show up in the fall or a lot of purple and pink districts are going to go D.
The fall election is a referendum on TRUMP if you are a left winger, and a referendum on the GOP for everyone else... and right now the GOP is losing that argument BIG TIME.

GOP kept a safe seat in AZ, narrowly. Lost a 40 year GOP seat in NY.
I think all this gun control hysteria has energized the base. Not to mention most people don’t like being chastised by the punk Hogg kid. And who is behind these companies turning on the NRA? there hase to be some financial threat going on for companies like Yeti to go lib.
The “blue wave” concept is nothing more than number four, if I remember correctly, of the seven propaganda techniques we learned about in high school.
Number four is the bandwagon technique — everybody is doing it. All the cool people are doing it, and unless you want to be a weirdo, you will do it too. So, climb aboard the democrat bandwagon, get up their with Twerp Hogg, Anderson Cooper, etc., and vote for all the homos.
There will not be a blue wave in November.
A morale victory is still an elective loss.
This is the equivalent of a Democrat only winning by 5 points in urban Detroit. It’s of concern, to say the least.
I see a Red wave that may be small gains in numbers but a huge impact on the playing field. Gains in both houses. The Senate having an outsized impact. We may get 1 or 2 more governors. Challenging because we are defending so many, but a lot are Trump country and about to be Trump country.
