State Special Elections......




In the middle of President Trump's well-received address (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2017/03/01/analysis-trumps-best-political-speech-to-date-n2292178) on Tuesday, a liberal writer and commentator excitedly tweeted out some breaking special election results out of Connecticut, racking up thousands of retweets. The Left, which has been methodically stripped of power by voters since 2008, is casting about for evidence that their feverish "resistance" is tipping the political pendulum back in the other direction. Thus, this "accomplishment" (https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/836765188372193280) was deemed a celebratory moment:


Ah, but context is everything. The two Democratic victories came in heavily Democratic districts, within a comfortably blue state. And that supposed 'close call'? The Republican ended up winning by 12 points "in a race that Democratic activists worked with some success to nationalize as a referendum on Trump," according to (http://ctmirror.org/2017/02/28/borer-keeps-115th-house-seat-in-democratic-hands/) the local press. So despite all the outrage-fueled energy and donations flowing in one direction, the GOP candidate still prevailed by double digits, even as Republican voters turned out in low numbers. His victory preserved the 18-18 tie in Connecticut's state senate, in which Democrats' six-seat advantage was erased last November. The Republican State Leadership Committee published a memo (http://rslc.gop/blog/2017/03/01/2017-special-elections-update/) on Wednesday noting that the allegedly widespread groundswell of opposition to Trump and Republicans hasn't really materialized in early returns. Big protests and media hyperventilating may create the illusion of a nationwide backlash, but voters don't appear to have signed on to The Narrative at this point:


[Since Election Day last November when Republicans claimed the White House, Congress and modern highs in state-level control, high-profile Democrats including Eric Holder and David Brock have said the way to rebuild is through the states. The Democrat resistance may be generating a lot of noise in Washington, D.C., but so far in 2017, it has shown little impact on elections in the states. Even with hefty financial investments and high profile Democrats lending star power to state-level candidates, Republicans won control of every district they previously held across multiple states that Democrats have won in the last three or more presidential elections, including as recently as yesterday in Connecticut.]


Here are the relevant state-by-state results (http://rslc.gop/blog/2017/03/01/2017-special-elections-update/). Pay attention to the details:



In other words, a flurry of status quo outcomes on Democrat-friendly terrain. Why is this important? Three reasons: (1) One of the biggest political stories of the Obama years was the utter decimation (http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/barbara-hollingsworth/after-winning-7-more-seats-gop-dominance-state-legislatures-all) of the Democratic Party at the state level. Republicans won hundreds of seats across the countries between Obama's 2009 inauguration and his 2017 departure, a trend that commenced almost immediately. Democrats hope to turn back that red wave, at least a bit, by galvanizing anti-Trump sentiment. In the earliest tests of that strategy, they're discovering that perhaps they're still misreading the temperature of the electorate. (2) These electoral results add to the pile of data points (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2017/02/27/nbcwsj-poll-n2291061) that demonstrate how the 'resist' movement and its media supporters are mired in an echo chamber. Will they adjust or double down?(3) Republicans cannot afford to become complacent. Even though they've successfully defended every seat so far, the money and intensity is with the Democrats, who did noticeably improve their margins in several of these races. That's nothing to scoff at. The sheer number of seats lost to Republicans from coast to coast under Obama means that Democrats have a wide array of targets to try to pick off over the next few years. History suggests that they'll make a resurgence to some degree, but the magnitude and scope of Democrats' revival may depend on Republican voters remaining engaged and matching their counterparts' fervor.......snip~

Now that is good news. The Demos, and the illiberals, are still inside their own echo chamber. Their obstruction and devious tactics will cause them to lose more seats. In the House and more importantly in the Senate. If they keep this up, the Repubs will end up 60plus close to 70 Seats.


Then we can roll over their party and condemn them to the destruction of their party. Good Times.

The democratic party doesn't even merit the status of a regional party any longer. It has power in a few mega-cities and other localities. Other than that, it is dead.

So they needs some pads, huh? This is what they can expect in 2018. To lose more of what they are holding now.

Barack Obama is trying to engineer a coup. The Democrat "resistance" is a giant circle-jerk where they only service each other. Americans reject their silliness.

Its time for the Demos to hear what they are thought of. Time for all their cult following to know exactly what people think of them and how they will be treated going forward.

The Demos have showed they don't care about the people other than their own kind. Now they have shown the entire world that they don't care about whats best for the US.


Lets label them and paint them out as Domestic Enemies of the US and make them fear for their lives.

The Republicans can still screw it up. I'm betting that they will. They get elected by promising to do very specific things. Then they let the media talk them into believing that the people are opposed to those same ideas which got them elected. Thats when they snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I agree with that. The Repubs tend to fall off into the MS Media's game. They always tend to lighten up the pressure on the Demos too.


What the Repubs need.....is a War Time Consigliere. Someone that wont stop taking it to the Demos and the MS Media. Until they are broken into pieces.

They first need need to grow a set and start taking it to the left. This is happening on the local level in many states across the nation. It's only a matter of time until the weaklings and pretend conservatives are purged out of the Republican party and they once again become the home for conservatism.

Yeah I wasnt to keen on a Romney running the RNC. But she needs to get vocal and should be making sure the Demos when speaking are flooded by those on the Right.

The Demos like to hide behind the women Demos. So lets get the Republican women out there so the nation sees how real women act and deal with the problem.
