Republicans are whistling past the graveyard
Look at these results:

2006: GOP wins by 20 points
2008: GOP wins by 32 points
2010: GOP wins by 27 points
2012: GOP wins by 11 points
2014: GOP wins by 15 points
2016: GOP wins by 16 points
*** 2017 SPECIAL ELECTION: GOP wins by 6 points ***
The average GOP margin of victory in that district over the last 8 cycles has been 23 POINTS.
Dems cut that to 6 POINTS this year.
KANSAS 4TH DISTRICT

2004: GOP wins by 35 points
2006: GOP wins by 30 points

2010: GOP wins by 22 points
2012: GOP wins by 31 points
2014: GOP wins by 33 points
2016: GOP wins by 31 points
*** 2017 SPECIAL ELECTION: GOP wins by 7 points ***
The average GOP margin of victory in that district over the last 8 cycles has been 30 POINTS.

GEORGIA 6TH DISTRICT

2008: GOP wins by 37 points
2010: No Dem candidate
2012: GOP wins by 30 points
2014: GOP wins by 32 points
2016: GOP wins by 23 pointss
*** 2017 SPECIAL ELECTION: GOP wins by 4 points ***
The average GOP margin of victory in that district over the last 8 cycles has been 38 POINTS.

These are deep red districts. Democrats are massively overperforming this year compared to historical trends. Republicans can put on a brave face but if these swings are repeated nationwide next year they are in big trouble IMO

Bravo!!
And here's to you saying that exact same phrase after every election from now until the end of time.

And yet, of the 4 House seats for which there were special elections, the Rs won ... 4.
Unlike this year, Part 1: 2018 won't be a special off-year election.
Unlike this year, Part 2: In 2018 these R candidates won't be newcomers. They'll be incumbents (as was the case in many/most/almost all the prior election years cited by EarlG) with name recognition.

Just in case no one told him, Second place doesn't get to vote in Congress.

The democrats won't be able to pour in as much cash to each midterm contest as they did these special elections. More money was spent on the Georgia campaign than any previous contest and they still couldn't get close.

I sleep better at night knowing this DUmmy and his moronic web team have no clue how they will be hacked next.
