The Sum Of All Campaign Evils

[BmorePat87]

I'm not sure if the fact that these special elections were so close (single digit wins in districts the GOP won by 15-30% months ago) is a reflection of Trump or the fact that special election turnout is lower.

Republicans will say "a win's a win" and Democrats will say "it gives us hope for the close races in 2018", but the reality is nothing has changed yet and we don't have a picture of 2018 from 4 random elections.
