Ohio voters pour more oil on the Blue wave.

"Ohio special election: In final results, Trump-backed Republican wins tight congressional race"

"COLUMBUS, Ohio - After all votes were counted, Republican Troy Balderson won a surprisingly tight race to replace former U.S. Rep. Pat Tiberi in a closely watched central Ohio district."

Things aren't looking as bright for the Democrats in November.

Yes you red shirts are going to win every race. The house and senate will have more Repubs in office. This election is absolute proof of that. Who can argue with just strong evidence?
 
Southern Ohio doesn't mean shit to the national scene, shit fer brains.
Go fuck a sheep.

Columbus is 15th in city populations in the united states. Not as nothing as you'd think. Plus Columbus is a testing ground for retail giants. All their latest ideas get tried out here in the suburban areas. That's why those areas are so damn popular and the houses are 10 times the cost of houses closer to the city center. I bought a house about two miles from downtown that cost less than the down payment I'd have to come up with be up in Dublin or Lewis Center.

The reason it's a testing ground is because there are all types of wealthy people up there. The liberal support was very high last election up in Lewis Center. I lived there at the time and recall lots of hillary signs and several people driving around with slogans on their cars like "Love Trumps Hate". As this area represents what corporate culture deems "average consumers", I think it's fairly accurate to say it also represents what "average voters" might vote.

Just a theory, but I am in the heart of this city and I can tell you it's not unlike Portland Oregon in that there are lots of liberal influences here.

Good move... I love this city, don't you? (the people in Lewis Center still have Hillary signs in their yard...and they were not pleased with the election results from District Twelve........they were gunning for the Green party guy and screaming at the sky.)

How many points did the Dems make up on that district? How many years has it been HEAVILY Republican?

Watch for the less partisan districts, pally boy.

The fact that that district was " surprisingly tight" at all is a good indicator of the blue wave to come, Grampy.

Exactly what I was going to post. It shouldn't have been anywhere near that close, given the robust economy. The fact that it was is an indictment of their Glorious Orange Baal in the WH.
 
Nope, the red wave will win all the elections in November and Trump will have the regal power that he deserves. It is good to be the king. Trump will have the power to clean out the justice department and remake the FBI and CIA to his low standards. There shall be no mercy.
 

I am not a liar. We discussed that Silver article previously and it turned out you do not know how to read a chart. It showed the most poorly educated counties shifted toward Trump but were still won by Clinton by 7%.

"By contrast, Clinton struggled (relatively speaking) in majority-minority communities with lower education levels. Among the 19 majority-minority countries where 15 percent or less of the population has a bachelor’s degree, she won by an average of only 7 percentage points, less than Obama’s 10-point average margin of victory in 2012."

In the chart labeled the "least educated" that Trump won had 13.3% with college degrees. (see 2nd chart)

In the chart labeled "Low-education majority-minority counties shifted toward Trump" had 12.8% with college degrees. (see last chart)

So the lowest educated counties voted for Clinton but shifted toward Trump compared to 2012.

You apparently didn't read the article.

mischaracterizing the article is sleazy

I am quoting directly from the article and comparing charts. The least educated counties voted for Clinton.

Trump won white college graduates and voters with "some college." Clinton won a plurality of all college graduates (49% to 45%). [from Pew Research].

And not having a college degree does not make one "uneducated" unless you are just trying to insult poor people.

The tax cuts insulted and injured poor people, don't be silly, we demonize and cannibalize the poor in america.

Tax cuts have nothing to do with Katgar's comments referring to the poor as "uneducated" when they might have a high school diploma.

Educational Level [Census Bureau]

High School Diploma:

White (non-Hispanic) 93%
Asian 89%
Black 87%
Hispanic 67%

Bachelor's Degree:

Asian 54%
White (non-Hispanic) 36%
Black 23%
Hispanic 16%

Guess which groups had the highest percentage of votes for Clinton? Blacks and Hispanics which have the lowest educational levels.

That does not make these people any lesser in my opinion, but it obviously does to many posters who denigrate people based on their voting decision.

There doesn't have to be a red wave. They just have to hold enough seats to stave off a democratic majority in either chamber. They have the hometown advantage right now.
