Four races tonight. Previous elections had gone uncontested because of the GOP stronghold. This time, all contested. Two remain Republican, but the margins are much more narrow as compared to 2016. One still pending, the last flipped. All moderate dems.

This can't possibly be true. The Democrats have no support or leadership any more. They are broken and broke. The country is doing so well that only a Republican could possibly win ANY election.

At least, that is what we keep hearing from Trump supporters. So, what is this now, first NJ, then VA, then Alabama, and now this ? Looks like some cracks are beginning to form in the GOP hold, doesn't it ?

Republicans are in deep trouble in sub/ex urban America - places where education, civility and tolerance are still considered important.

I know. Aren't elections supposed to be held on Tuesdays? Something seems fishy about this.

Perhaps things like this are what people need to think about. It's time to get word out there that conservatives need to get busy. There are elections going on early and we cannot get complacent or get caught off guard. Keep in mind that this is for the Missouri state House of Reps, not the national. While President Trump is confident conservatives will keep the House and the Senate in D.C., conservatives still need to get busy and aggressive now on the state and local levels. Missouri's House is safe. They've had other special elections won by Republicans.

We cannot afford to give communist-minded Democrats any kind of a foothold.

Yeah I'd go over to Twitter and start a viral tweet about it. Can't have these funny things hapening.
