See what?....democrats didn't have a great night in Kentucky they had their butts whipped. Five of six races went to republicans. It is not totally out of the realm that people will cross party lines when it comes to someone they hate. That's all that happened here. The republicans wiped the slate clean except a candidate that is the second most hated governor in all of the United States. Though as a side note it should be noted that a poll taken before Trump came into town on behalf of Bevins had him down nineteen points against Beshear, that race came in neck to neck so either polls are unreliable like a lot of us think in the first place or Trump pushed his margins up.
In Virginia that isn't surprising at all, what happened there was going to happen inevitably. Since 2000 Virginia's foreign born population has doubled, essentially the demographics have been changing for years. In Fairfax over a third of the population is foreign born with half the elementary school grade students speaking a foreign language, Fairfax and Arlington there was no republicans contenders, in all forty percent of the statewide races had no republican contenders which naturally means the democrat is going to win. You simply can't lose while being unopposed. That's why I say Rishad here in Michigan will be out if the African American community runs one solid viable African American against her instead of five. That district is composed of a majority of African Americans and Arabs no Caucasian person is going to put money into a race there let alone a republican one.
As far as Mike Pence and the city commission race there most people do know city commission races are run on a non partisan section of ballots. I couldn't even tell you the political affiliation of our city commissioners as it really doesn't matter policy wise as most don't seek house or senate seats after serving as they are generally most focus on local issues in their own area.
