Big Dem win in rural Wisconsin. Team Blue just won in a landslide in what WAS deep Trump territory

[HappyJoy]

Why is that a big deal? The last 40 years it has gone from d to r to d to r to etc

Totally, a 26 point swing in a whole entire year. I'm sure that doesn't spell disaster.

OMG OMG OMG it's blue tidal waaaave LOL

As predicted, the tards clamp their hands over their eyes and return to their stupor. Awaiting instructions.

TA-DAAAAAA!

Seriously you have been here this morning and you had to post a duplicate topic?



And no link to boot?


BTW the Republicans still hold on like 65 to 15 something like that.

 

[mudwhistle]

Governor Walker plucked a state senator to be his agriculture secretary. He chose someone from a district that Trump won by 17 points.

The special election to replace the senator resulted in a stunning upset. The Democratic candidate won by 9 points.

Walker, who is up for re-election, is now very nervous.

Ya know how the pseudocon tards jeer at opinion polls and then play sad videos of Democrats crying over Hillary's unexpected loss, and then slap their hands over their eyes?

Well, in the polls that count, elections, Republicans are getting spanked.

This is your wake up call, tards.


Here is a Wisconsin conservative radio host's take:

]

Wow.....this is a surprise.....there are Democrats in Wisconsin.

Learn something new every day

President Trump became the first Republican to carry Wisconsin in a presidential election since Ronald Reagan by running up his score in places like the rural 10th state Senate district, which includes a swath of five counties between Eau Claire and Superior along the Minnesota border.

Trump won there by 17 points in 2016. A special election was triggered when Gov. Scott Walker tapped a popular state senator, who had held the seat since 2000, to become his agriculture secretary. Last night, Democratic candidate Patty Schachtner won by nine points.

Election after election, we see Republicans coming up empty-handed. Last night's special election in WI, after the GOP passed a grossly unpopular tax cut that Republicans are trying to convince people is the best thing since sliced bread. Clearly people aren't buying it.

And then there is the "writing on the wall" in places where Republicans have won House special elections.

• Georgia 6th District:
  • 2016: GOP won by 23%
  • 2017 GOP won by 4%
• Kansas 4th District:
  • 2016: GOP won by 30% (? I think...it may have been more; too lazy to check now)
  • 2017: GOP won by 6%
• South Carolina 5th District:
  • 2016: GOP won by 20%
  • 2017: GOP won by 3%
• Montana At-large:
  • 2016: GOP won by 15%
  • 2017: GOP won by 6%

Don't let the Democrats get hold of either the House or the Senate. If they do, we'll suddenly have to listen to Trump spew new levels of BS about why executive orders are good things. The Dems may not get enough control to impeach and oust Trump, but they need only one chamber to politically emasculate him.

In 2011 they voted for a republican state senator. In 2012, they voted for obama.
The republicans should have learned then!

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

This will change the balance of power in Wisconsin.....wait....it won't? Not even close you say?

 

[nat4900]

Paul Ryan and Scott Walker.......Can you hear us??? (Walker calls the results a ‘wake-up call.)........................LOL

Democrat Wins Wisconsin State Senate Special Election in District Trump Won by 17 Points in 2016

The seat had been in Republican hands for the past 17 years. Even with the seat, Democrats in the state are still at an 18-14 disadvantage in the state Senate, but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel notes, “Democrats saw Tuesday’s victory as a sign they were taking hold of the energy that benefited their party in special elections last year in Alabama, Virginia and Oklahoma.” There were two other special elections in Wisconsin, but the 10th district garnered the most attention because it was considered competitive for the first time in years making it a potential bellwether of electoral things to come.

A Democrat Just Won a Wisconsin State Senate Special Election in a District Trump Carried by 17 Points in 2016

Did they falsely accuse the republican of rape in this one too?

"Brilliant" response by a right wing moron......Expected, however. LOL

It's a local election based on local issues. It is YOU that does not get it.

Unlike many on this board most people's lives do not revolve around Trump

Did you know that of the special elections that just occurred Democrats outperformed by over 20 points on average? I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

 

[Auld Phart]

there are special elections in 3 different states, not that anyone would care. they're too busy caring about whether Trump is a drug addict.

You need to provide a link to what you are talking about

He needs to look at the thread list.

He MIGHT see that other threads have been started on this topic, and have been merged.

Good post, pointing out the shift from Trump euphoria to the reality that he IS a charlatan.

The GA election where the GOPer won by 4% is key here......That district was Tom Price's and....for a long time, Newt Gingrich's....How red was that district versus now after just a short stint of the Trump administration?
