The Election Wave Has Started

The first wave already came ashore earlier this year, but mostly went unheralded because they were seen as isolated election results while the media cast losses by Jon Ossoff and others as a sign that there was no wave election coming. They misinterpreted what happened. Those losses were unimaginably narrower than Republicans expected in the reddest districts of the reddest of states, leading to many Republicans in swing-districts and swing-states to announce their retirement.

In reality, these were the red blue flags pointing to a wave election. Tonight, a bigger wave just arrived.

• Maine overwhelmingly voted, 59% - 41% to expand Medicaid against (R) Governor Paul LePage's refusal to expand under the ACA.
• Ralph Northam defeated Ed Gillespie in Virginia's race for governor by the widest margin (+9pp) for a Democrat in 32 years, outperforming all polls except Quinnipiac.
• Phil Murphy defeated Kim Guadagno in New Jersey's race for governor (+14pp), to replace the extremely unpopular Chris Christie, turning NJ blue once again.
• The Virginia House of Delegates marked a huge shift towards Democrats, previously held by Republicans with a 66-34 advantage, to currently 49-47 Democratic advantage, with four races still too close to call. One of these flips came from a transgender woman -- Danica Roem -- beating a man who'd sponsored a bathroom bill and described himself as Virginia's "chief homophobe."
• The State of Washington's Senate flipped to Democratic control, giving Democrats full control of the House, Senate and Governor's office.

Yet, Donald's troubles will only get worse with each passing day.

His poll numbers keep sagging, the Russia-Trump investigations keep growing, and elected Republicans continue to obfuscate their true feelings about Donald. The longer this drama goes on, especially in light of growing indictments involving more members of Donald's campaign team, the higher the next waves grow.

Do you believe, now?
