Big Blue Tsunami 1.5

You might say Big Blue had a pretty awesome Tuesday.

Kentucky now has a Democratic Governor, in a state that Trump won by 30 points in 2016.

Senate Republicans were watching this election closely. They're not happy tonight. Especially Mitch McConnell.

The Kentucky county in which Trump held his rally for Republican Matt Bevin on Monday voted for Democrat Andy Beshear 66%-33%.

Trump at his Kentucky rally on Monday: "If Bevin loses they’re going to say Trump suffered the greatest defeat in the history of the world. You can’t let that happen to me."

BWAHHHHH-hahahahahahahahahaha!

Since Trump took office, Democrats have flipped governorships in Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, New Jersey, Illinois, Maine, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Kentucky.

Democrats flipped the Virginia House and Senate. Plus they already own the governorship.

Democrats won the city council of Columbus, Indiana, hometown of Mike Pence, for the first time since 1981.

Democrats took the city council in Delaware County, PA for the first time since the Civil War.

Juli Briskman, the bicyclist fired from her job for flipping off Trump's motorcade, won her first election.

Blue Tsunami II, coming soon to a voting booth near you.

Addendum: In 2017 an election in the Virginia House of Delegates ended in a tie between the Republican and the Democrat. After months of legal wrangling they decided to choose the winner by basically drawing a name out of a hat. The seat went to the Republican.

This year the same two candidates vied for the same position only this time the Democrat, Shelly Simonds, won with 58% of the vote.

Nevada has lifetime term limits on the governor's office. Two terms you're done. Nevada also recognizes "none of these candidates" on the ballot. Former Gov. Kenny Guinn was a democrat in the legislature until he decided to run for and was elected to the governors office as a republican.

On a more positive note for tRump in my Dad's hometown of Caldwell, Idaho the citizens there managed to vote in a serial drunk and fellow sexual harasser, and former state senator, John McGee, to the city council. Yes, he's republican.

Why is this important? Caldwell is home to the Simplot French Fry company supplier of fry's (80%) to McDonald's home of tRump's hamberders.

Where?

Must be either the couch from The Simpsons, or from Trump Doral.

That 33% number pops up a lot when people who know talk about Trump's national popularity. If I have my definition right, that equals a left-skewed bell curve of political stances.

Donnie had a bad nightmare. He dreamed the Rebs lost long-held enclaves of atavism. Then he woke up this morning and saw it really happened. You could hear the screams all up and down the East Coast.
