What was percentage turnout for eligible Republican and Democrat voters in ohio district 12?

this d12 Ohio election will be replayed in November 2018 won't it? I don't know if I'd have shown up to the polls yesterday considering the person who wins this election will have to run again in a couple of months.

GOP Wins Ohio. (a former Blue state)

Democrats who told us about the "Blue Wave" are shell shocked again. They never learn.

The rest, excuses and denial.

It's odd how so many see a seat that has been solidly GOP for years as a win when they barely held on to it this time.

Ahh. So you weren't serious when you said there was a "Blue Wave" coming. Wishful thinking. Trump endorsed the guy, He Won.

Excuses & Denial.




(but if Democrats want to believe that losing an election is really a "win", then who am I to argue with that delusion?)

Tariffs do not belong to the "hard left." The famous large-scale tariffs of 1930, the Smoot-Hawley Act, was written by two Republicans and signed by Herbert Hoover (R). The conservative isolationism of the 1920's strongly resembles the anti-globalism "America First" attitude that's popular with conservatives today.

While tariffs are historically a right wing policy, the left wing can also advocate them as well, especially if labor unions think they will help protect jobs; we also heard some of that from Bernie Sanders.

Balderson underperformed in Ohio 12th by about 10 points. If that trend is applied to all of the tossup and lean right districts nationally, the Democrats will gain 30 to 40 seats in the House.

We leeway knew Democrats are hungry and will come out in full force to vote


The questions is can Republicans turn out enough people to counter the Democrats extreme enthusiasm



Yesterday shows that they can

The fact remains he won: it make no difference whether it was 1 vote or a million and and who much you want to believe he under performed. I am guessing you might be one of the few (maybe 3 or 4) that would even venture a guess saying the Dems will pick up 40 seats, even 30. Of course they are going to pick up some. If they don't they are really in deep trouble for decades to come. The party not in the white house always pick up seats in an off year election.
