Truly wonderful news! Look for even more states to implement Right to Work laws. We can now implement voter ID laws in the states that matter. The Dems are completely decimated in the South and states like AR and WV, typically democrat states re; local elections, are moving toward the Red column.

Are there really any Democrats left in the USA?
Obama took over the party and they are now the Obama Party.

The Carnage is great and not good for the Country. Obama's Transform America has not worked out so well for what used to be known as "Democrats".

My home state of New York just lost its Assembly veto-proof supermajority for Democrats. Republicans have a narrow majority in the State Senate. New York has been trending bluer over the last 30 years. Most of our red Senators are long-standing incumbents.
"GOP gerrymanders like silly once elected into office" Want some cheese with that whine?

The repubs only fixed the screwed up districts that the dems CREATED with 40 UNINTERRUPTED YEARS OF CONTROL OF THE HOUSE.

Unless you believe the dems did NOT draw the district to benefit themselves.

I take it back. Of COURSE you don't believe the dems ever did such a thing.

His narcissism just wouldn't let Him accept that His policies are no good and He was soundly slapped down.
He first said it was due to "bad messaging".

I almost spit out when THAT line came out.

I hear you! Today's democrats are NOT your grandfather's democrats. At one time democrats truly looked out for the poor, working and middle classes. Democrats of yore would have been horrified to discover that their constituents were either being displaced in the workforce or had their wages depressed due to illegal immigration. And those democrats of yore would have done something about it---and I don't mean amnesty. They also never would have tolerated Americans losing their jobs to H1-B visa holders either.

Today's democrats fight tooth and nail to put illegal aliens and work visa holders ahead of the millions of suffering underemployed and unemployed Americans---and that's a disgrace.

The sad thing is that too many low information voters don't realize that today's democrats are screwing over Americans.

All that said, I would vote for a bluedog democrat (because they are the ones who remember what democrats used to stand for) over a RINO.

"states like AR and WV, typically democrat states re; local elections, are moving toward the Red column."

I believe I read where Arkansas doesn't have 1 single dem in the state legislature.

“The state’s Republicans have traditionally failed to produce politicians that Arkansas would elect,” he wrote. “The Democratic party, as a result, has thrived on a sort of perpetual motion.”

"That perpetual motion came to an end Tuesday night. Voters chose Republican Tom Cotton over Pryor, and for the first time in 141 years, there will be no Democrats in Arkansas’ congressional delegation. Republicans also won the gubernatorial race and every other statewide race."


Republicans now have every congressional seat for Arkansas for the first time in 141 years - The Washington Post


Moving? I think the move is complete.
