    So I'm pleased, but really, these are all small potatoes. What does this really mean other than? This is an honest question, are there more long-lasting or deep effects from these wins then just a few odds and ends?

    Really? All I see is two full pages of tweets blowng a couple small victories out of proportion. I've taken shits that demand more cause for celebration.

    Yes you have, and we've devoted hundreds of threads to Trump in response.

    I am reminded of those old Master Card commercials, the ones where they list prices of everything and then conclude:

    Transwoman beating state's top homophobe: Priceless.

    Actually it only points out how out of touch, tone deaf, and dysfunctional the dems are.

    Since early this morning the dem twitter bots got the hashtag #ThankYouHillary trending. Tweet after tweet of thanking Hillary for the success of last night.

    https://twitter.com/hashtag/ThankYouHillary?src=tren&data_id=tweet:928313392405901313 (now the Trump fan boys are having fun with this but dig deep and you will see the praise Hillary tweets that launched this.)

    All these limited victories have done is to embolden the dems to focus on "Not Trump" as their national party platform. That will fail. Got to be for something, not against someone.

    Also if you really look at Virginia you will see that the Trump voters didn't jump ship, instead there was a large turnout in cities and DC suburbs. If the dems push through a mediocre candidate for president liberal voters will stay home like they did last year instead of hold their nose and vote for that person.

    Instead of doing victory laps the dems need to focus on a party platform that speaks to some of Trumps base. If they don't, Trump wins.

    2005 Virginia gubernatorial election results per district.

    [​IMG]

    2017 Virginia gubernatorial election results per district.

    [​IMG]

    Dems actually won fewer areas outside of the major cities and DC suburbs.

    This shows that dems are not getting back voters they lost to Trump.
