Showing Original Post only (View all)I hope nobody is feeling bad about the TN-7 result [View all]
This is the kind of win that will leave the GOP sweating. In a deep red district, the Democratic candidate did 7 points better than their predecessor one year ago (45% vs 38%). Meanwhile the Republican candidate did 6% worse than their predecessor (54% vs 60%). If that swing is repeated across the country next year, it will be very bad for Republicans. And I put it to you that the mood of the citizenry is not going to improve in favor of Republicans over the next eleven months.
