Democrats had another good Tuesday night of special elections, this time in Missouri, where Mike Revis won a 3-point victory in House District 97, which President Donald Trump had won by 28 points. 

That 31-point swing relative to the 2016 election was extraordinarily large, but actually not the greatest swing of the night. Over in House District 144, Democrats took a relatively narrow 53-47 loss in a district that Trump carried by 59 points. The other two GOP holds in Missouri also had large swings, with Democrats outperforming Hillary Clinton by 18 points in one race and by 25 points in another. 

This is the second state legislative seat Democrats flipped in 2018 after a state Senate race in Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago, and it marks a larger trend of very strong Democratic results in state legislative races.

Yep. Missouri was even trending as a possible blue state in 2016. It wasn't likely, but this definitely shows that people are ready to vote that way.

Thanks to the tax bill and people seeing a couple more cents in their paychecks, the polls have shifted a bit in the GOP's favor. I don't expect that to last long though so we're still looking at a blue wave in 2018 and a deep blue tsunami in 2020 :firega:

Hopefully all the Trumpers will start heading back into the caves where they came from
