They are gonna have their heads explode when Trump is re elected and the gop takes over the house. [/quote] Do you see why it is a terrible news for the GOP? Trump won the district by 12% in 2016 but why was it so hard to win last night ? [/quote] Lame disinformation thread, [b][color=red]<$3.50[/color][/b] 2016 NC dist 9 results 332,493 total votes cast, 193,452 for repub, 139,041 for the dim not much higher than the ~90K from last night. Special elections never get the turnout of a general/Pres election. This was a must win for the dims and they failed. No amount of spin is going to change that. https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina%27s_9th_Congressional_District_election,_2016 [/quote]

“They bought this race out of desperation, but you can’t scale that,” he continued. “You can’t replicate that across district after district in the country. We have outspent the Democratic side of the equation two-to-one in this thing. Those six-plus million dollars made a big difference.”
“This should have been something they could have stayed home and eaten bonbons and watched sports on TV. They didn’t and the reason is the suburbs — particularly outside Charlotte — are starting to weaken for Republican elected officials,” Wilson added.
