The Dems flipped 2 more special election state seats today, one in New Hampshire and the other in Connecticut. Both districts went for Trump in 2016.

May not be a blue wave, but it's becoming a blue ripple. A wave gotta start someplace. those two make it 39 in total so far that have flipped.

Of course not. But it's an article of faith because how else to live with the fact that Trump lost the popular vote by millions? The one study they all point to has been debunked but the party of fake news loves fake statistics as long as they are in their favor. They don't need no stinkin' facts.

The New Hampshire district did go to Trump, the CT district went to Clinton narrowly, however was a district that swung strongly against Trump and has traditionally been very Republican as they have held the seat for 40 years.

Like you still believe that Russia hacked the election to help Trump win, and if you remove Trump from office, Hillary becomes president.

They are only fiscal conservatives when Dems are in power, when they have the reins they pass a tax bill that stuck us with a 1.5 trillion dollar deficit

No, actually if Trump was removed from Office Mike Pence would be President, if both of them were removed from Office Paul Ryan would be POTUS, I have not heard anyone suggest otherwise

So what if Trump lost the popular vote by millions? All that matters is Trump got 306/304 electoral votes, and Hillary got 232/227 electoral votes (including the faithless electors). 270 electoral votes are needed to win the election. Simple fact that some people can't understand

The same people who pay taxes to support our bloated military.

This is not mentioned in the recent elections(post 2016 election) by the D campaigns or the D candidates. They learned not to attack voters and to focus on the issues. Did you see the Alabama D Senate candidate mention any of that during his campaign? Not a peep.
