VA flipped the state legislature and the MI gov race was very close, where Trump won by 16%. The turn out in KY was also very large. Moscow Mitch is also likely nervous. He currently has a 36% approval rating. Check with @Little Earl and see what has happened in the Virginia legislature since Trump became president.

The teachers were on a strike when a boy accidentally shot a 7 year old girl. The POS blamed the teachers not being in school for the shooting.

heyitsmeallen Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Dems successfully flipped the House and senate in VA. We also have a Dem Gov for the next 2 years. Expect the GOP gerrymandering and votor suppression that has happened the last 25 years to end. This is HUGE for a state that votes blue in presidential elections but has been under Red leadership for decades freakingeek, MadMax, ChemEngr79, and 1 other 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ctm Posted November 6, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 It's not just Va. and Ky. Read up on what happened in the suburbs of Philly.

He could be right. He's in quicksand. Lets just hope it all continues. MadMax, and Mythos27 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonboy Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Good article here explaining what happened. Bevin picked way too many dumb fights and said ridiculous things about teachers, which caused even lifelong conservatives to refuse to vote for him. https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/06/politics/matt-bevin-donald-trump-andy-beshear/index.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
