Last night was ugly. The major races in Virginia and New Jersey were killing fields for the GOP. But keep in mind one thing: these are blue states, and they acted like it. Republicans got swept in these key races. Republicans in Virginia lost the governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general races. New Jersey, where one hoped Republican Jack Ciattarelli could pull off an upset, was dashed by the general political mood and the fact that 250,000 New Jersey residents had fled the state the last time he ran, where he almost uprooted incumbent Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy.

(snip)

It's not the end, but this was an atrocious night for the Republican Party. Up and down the line, from school board to county commissioner, governor to assemblyman—the GOP got throttled. For sure, this will be used by the media to craft an anti-Trump narrative. Part of this is the tide turning against the GOP ahead of the midterm elections, as it historically does. But this shutdown isn’t going anyone's favor, and Democrats now have less of an interest in ending it.

California?  New York? New Jersey?  Virginia?

It was state and local elections all across the country.  The trend has shifted.

I’ve been posting for the last several months warning that Democrats were doing very well electorally and even flipping districts that voted for Trump and I was called a Democrat, left of center, a troll, you name it. Which was kind of funny because I haven’t changed any of my political views.


This was an absolute bloodbath for the GOP and next year promises to be the same. It doesn’t look like at least from what I see so far that the Republicans won anything

Mississippi of all places the Republicans lost two Senate seats to Democrats ending their super majority

This was not just blue states and blue areas remaining blue.


The myths of the Democratic Party being dead have now been put to rest. Nothing is dead until you bury it, burn it, revive it and burn it again.

It’s becoming clear that Donald Trump is an albatross around the neck of the Republican Party. When he’s on the ballot and is the challenger, it’s the only time he’s successful.

The level on denial on this site is off the charts. Whether it’s Donald Trump’s polling, the state of the Democratic Party, how people feel about the direction of the country and the economy in general, ect nobody wanted to admit there was a problem brewing

I’m not confident that we have a republican president after 2028

I’ll have to investigate this further, but I caught a blip that the Democratic governor elected in  Virginia even did well against the young men

From what I can tell so far, I can’t find a single area or election that flip from blue to red. If that is true, that continues a trend of democratic electoral success in the era of Trump.

When Congress shifts after next year’s midterms, it’s unlikely they’ll be able to get anything through enough to override a veto pen, but we’ll see

How many of those were in Purple States?

Dems won their home games.  2026, they have to go on the road.

No, they don’t

Next year is a midterm election, not a presidential election.

Is there any seats anywhere were Republicans flipped last night?

Agreed!  GOP bloodbath last night.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

In Suburban Philly in one of the 4 collar counties that swung the state for Trump in 16 and 24, it was a Blue wave on ALL county seats. DA which was Republican for 50 plus years went to D by 10% as did all line offices. Sheriff who supported ICE was ousted in favor of a "progressive".  Not a pleasant thought as we slide into Philly 2.0 or look ahead to '26
