    This election showed that the GOP isn't as strong in affluent suburbs as in the past. I would imagine Trump's protectionism and temperament doesnt play as well as if does in the heartland.

    We will see in 2018 if enough people are fed up with GOP or not. We will see if all these protests actually translate into votes or not as well, so just wait and see.

    They still won. There should be no moral victories.

    Except that Trump still have over a year to do his thing to the GOP, we will see next year if Trump is really the bane of the GOP or not.

    This is a taste of things to come. The pollsters and media were all so sure Trump would lose and now
    most people that voted for him haven't changed their mind.

    Trump for another 7 1/2 years.

    I just wrote about my real experiences

    On that note I should say the mechanics are a diverse group. Truly the companies do either have this race or this race.

    I don't know why not a big deal

    If the machines goes down it's fundamental to making money

    No machine no money

    They were expected to win. I think this shows the further divide between the working class GOP populists and traditional GOP who prefer more of the status quo with less taxes.

    He has 34% approval rating. How much worse can he get? He is anti science, women, disabled etc.

    Democrats made the same mistake with special elections before the 2012 congressional elections where they won multiple special elections in a row and thought they had 2012 seats in the bag.

    Trump and the GOP were even surprised he won....

    Will you and your ilk squander having complete control of the 3 branches of government? 7 years of blasting ACA and offering up Trumpcare maybe a nail in the coffin.
