Morphine Prince 109,729 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I think the bigger story tonight is in Virginia. Dems are sweeping with heavily gerrymandered districts by the GOP. If the GOP lost this way imagine when Dems redraw them in a hopefully more fair manner. It’s over for the GOP there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Democrat running is also the son of the last governor who is a Democrat who was governor from 2007-2015. Don’t get too excited about Dems sweeping elections everywhere in 2020. That’s true but damn, Trump won by 30 points in 2016. I’m sure a simply unpopular R governor candidate would still win just by a small margin.

We also won the state Senate in Virgin and Mississippi governorship is still up for grabs the Democratic nominee actually has 45% with 55% of the precincts reporting.

This shows a shift in the suburbs, which is important to note since these areas can heavily impact a general election (2020). Also, Beshear is a popular governor’s son. He had name recognition behind him on top of an unpopular governor. For all we know Trump could have boosted Bevin a bit but not enough to win. Also important to note is the over 1,400,000 people voted. The last governor's race 930,000 people voted. People are super energized to vote. They are realizing how much power they actually have.

hankhatesyouall 2,731 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Andy Beshear is not that bad. Trump will still win the state by 25+ points in 2020 Virginia is doomed though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump lost the popular vote by 2.9 million and won the election by roughly 77,000 votes across WI, MI, and PA combined. These midwesterners need to turn out because they matter. It’s a shame people think their votes don’t count. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Canada the Province if Alberta which elected the Conservatives for 40 years straight and last term finally elected the left wing NDP for a change they elected the Conservatives again this year but u get the point.
