I hope nobody is feeling bad about the TN-7 result

This is the kind of win that will leave the GOP sweating. In a deep red district, the Democratic candidate did 7 points better than their predecessor one year ago (45% vs 38%). Meanwhile the Republican candidate did 6% worse than their predecessor (54% vs 60%). If that swing is repeated across the country next year, it will be very bad for Republicans. And I put it to you that the mood of the citizenry is not going to improve in favor of Republicans over the next eleven months.

An odd timed special election guaranteeing lower turnout means nothing but marxist wins in reliably blue states and areas on election day is a national mandate.

You are one stupid shit Earl.

Losing 55-45 was not a wipe-out, but it wasn't a squeaker. The media reports I was seeing the past few months were not, "It's close," but, "The Rs could lose."

The bottom line, put simply and non-partisanly, is that a Trump-endorsed candidate won, handily.

Hey, if Democrats want to throw everything they have into an off-year election, lose convincingly, and feel like they’ve somehow won, I’m not gonna complain.

Not only did Van Epps win comfortably, he actually performed well above where he was in polling (mind you, polls are sometimes meant to encourage a particular result).

Remember the poll by that discredited Des Moines Register pollster Ann Seltzer who had Kamala up in Iowa by 4 points just days before the Presidential election? And then Trump won the state by 15. It was done to encourage the vote in Iowa, which obviously didn't help one bit except for a morale booster.

I never bought that one solitary poll that showed "Man Hands" Behn only down by a few. Individual congressional districts are incredibly difficult to accurately poll, not to mention that it was scheduled the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.

Ain't no big deal. Ditto to the NYC mayoral and the NJ & VA governor's races a month ago. Those were already "blue" areas.

I just saw a CNN YouTube video with a title like "Tennessee special election result spells trouble for Republicans" (paraphrasing).

And they say there's left-leaning bias in media. ::)

I'm thinking that her going full DU (hate) cut the Republican turnout a bit. Once it became known that she hates Nashville I'm sure there were many Republicans who thought "there's no way in hell that this hate-filled pile of manure is going to win so there's no reason for me to take the time to vote in this election".
