Blue Wave 2019
Won the Kentucky Governorship - a Trump Cultist who was the GOP's wet dream - slashed Medicaid and other social services, anti-abortion, anti-gay, Trump-ass licker.
Turned Virginia completely blue - took both sides of the General Assembly
Flipped dozens (and counting) of local offices across the country, including Delaware County PA for the first time in 150 years, Mike Pence's hometown for the first time in decades, etc.

Re: Blue Wave 2019
I wouldn't say it was a wave. However, I think Democrats over achieved.
I was listening to NPR today and I heard a Kentucky woman call in to say that she had voted Republican all her life but she voted "all blue" in Kentucky because the Republicans are with Trump. That's exactly how I am right now. To me the Republican Party completely discarded any semblance of integrity by falling in line behind Trump. So, after voting Republican during all my life until 2016, I now just look at the ballot and vote for the Democrat.
Just early voted for the Louisiana thing and did that. I looked at the ballot. If the race involved a Republican and a Democrat I voted Democrat.
And I will continue to do that. The Republican Party is now persona non grata.
And it's because the Republicans have fallen in line with Trump. The fact that they did that, to me, says we don't want them in power anywhere at any time. Zero integrity. Worse than anything the Democrats have ever done.

Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Re: Blue Wave 2019
I mean, I don't think anyone really doubts Democrats have wind in their sails right now, but that governor was really unpopular. Trump didn't oust him, he ousted himself.

Re: Blue Wave 2019
Not a wave, but a few wins for the Dems. I believe both houses in Ky are GOP, so Dem governor not going to do too much damage.

Re: Blue Wave 2019
The biggest blue issue in Texas was overwhelming defeated...
A Constitutional amendment passed to make it more difficult for politicians in the future to ever install an income tax in Texas...
The Dems tried the “We oppose income taxes too, so this is not necessary” argument...but it fell flat...
Run a good candidate (like Gov. Abbott) and Texas will remain red...
And now the DNC Chair is trying to get Robert Francis to join the Senate race...

Re: Blue Wave 2019
So the donk:
-who's daddy was a 2 term KY gov.
-who had a libertarian running who took 2% of the vote, mostly from the conk gov/candidate.
-running against the most unpopular gov in the country.
Only won by 0.36%? That's pretty WEAK.
And it may not even be over.

Re: Blue Wave 2019
If we lived in a world where Hillary Clinton won in the landslide I thought she would in 2016....
Then I might be inclined to say that this KY election is a canary in a KY coal mine... but I don't make national election predictions any more.
Maybe if Hillary was running against Jussie Smollett... then MAYBE I'd venture a prediction as to what this means. But not now.

Meanwhile Trump is the reason Republicans win but not the reason they lose? If he had to "drag him across the finish line" why spend your political capital on him?
