The striking thing about the elections in NJ and VA (which currently has a Republican Governor) was the margin of victory. In both cases it was larger than Harris' a year ago.
You also ignore the CA referendum. CA had NO actual candidates on the ballot, so a huge turnout for the referendum is a BIG straw in the wind.
And the exit polls were strongly anti-Trump.
All of which you conveniently ignore.
Bragging about winning elections in blue run cities and typically blue run states. Isn't a "Win".
Virginia has voted for a Democrat in the past 4 or 5 presidential elections. Harris/Walz won the state.
The past 4 governors of Virginia 3 were Democrat and 1 was Republican.

VA Republican Gov Youngkin won by a very slim margin (63K votes).... so to say HAD A REPUBLICAN GOV....yeah barely. Again.... a blue state returning BLUE.
The referendum in CA the voting districts..... THE PEOPLE DIDNT KNOW WHAT THEY WERE VOTING FOR....
I saw many independent journalists go out and asked people how they voted on it. Many who voted yes when asked by the journalist if they "agreed that districts should be made by an independent bipartisan committee and not the political party in charge".... the people agreed and said YES.... and that is why they voted for the proposition. That proposition did the opposite of what they thought.
Now what the proposition is doing is what is going on in other states. But it is showing you that the campaign for the proposition didn't state exactly what it was it or how it would work. Many Voters were ignorant. Also CA.... is BLUE.
The wins in MS and other "red" counties are a little telling but not so much. Those same ones back in 2020 were not "landslides" for Trump. So they were slightly turning or more middle ground as well.
Again.... to boast this election as a "HUGE WIN" isn't what it is. What it did do was show that the "RED WAVE" that people were bragging about wasn't coming. If VA and NJ would have stayed Republican governors, gotten more Republican politicians in the other races in those states, NYC gotten Cumo in again (shift back towards center), prop 50 not passed in CA, etc. Then it would have looked more like a RED WAVE.
I am glad you and other think this is some HUGE VICTORY for your party. But it isn't. It is holding on. But what happened in NYC is showing a shift to the radical side. Hopefully some of this stuff works out and he doesn't go as radical as people think.
Youngkin won the governor's race in 2021 by 2%. While not a blowout, Republicans praised that as a sign of a GOP comeback and a significant victory. What were blowouts were the 2025 gubernatorial victories by Democrats Sherrill +14% in NJ and Spanberger +15% in VA. Trump was about -6% in those states in 2024 making those Democratic governors' victories even more noteworthy. Your claims that California voters were ignorant and didn't know what they were voting for is as ridiculous an excuse as any loser can make in another blowout loss. You need to accept these election results for what they are: an overwhelming repudiation of trump and MAGA.
Especially when he grasps at straws like trying to draw a conclusion from CA exit interviews probably done by right-leaning "journalists" and then selected by right-leaning "producers." He's acting like this is some kind of meaningful survey or poll. He's a ludicrous partisan hack. Note he didn't cite any sources.
Not done by "Right leaning" journalists. Were done by independents and actually more left leaning.
Again.... the victories in those states were left leaning, blue state victories. yeah margins were big.... but they were in BLUE states.... historically BLUE states.
Pound your chests all you want. Like I mentioned..... this was a kick to all the people screaming "RED WAVE".... which I never said. It was blue states staying blue. Now if those states stayed or switched to "red".... then the Democrats would need to worry and that they would definitely be losing their base. But this shows that they are not.
Like I have said before..... IT IS PROVING POLLS WRONG. The whole 17% bullshit about Democrats that people keep saying. It is proving it wrong.
Once again, CDLlight makes an assertion he fails to back up.
As to the rest, you are conclusively proving yourself a toxic political hack.
All your ass=ertions are WRONG.
How about TEXAS, 27 IQ? Is TEXAS a BLUE state....an historically BLUE state?
"In Texas’s Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (CFISD)
progressive candidates won all three open board seats, giving them a 4-3 majority. Since 2023, the board has been controlled by a 6-1 conservative supermajority, which has enacted a range of far-right policies.
In the past two years, the CFISD board has removed textbook chapters on climate change, vaccines, Covid-19, and diversity; fired over half of CFISD librarians, leading to school library closures; restricted school library content; and created elective courses about the Bible."
http://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2025/11/06/cy-fair-isd-voters-flip-school-board-ending-conservative-majority/
Looks like they're sick of righty bullshit...even in DEEP RED TEXAS!
AGAIN.... for the fucking IDIOTS in the back.... since you two can't fucking comprehend. What the election did was show the idiot pundits screaming RED WAVE were wrong. Which they were....same goes for the polls....which have been wrong.
Even in TEXAS it is showing that things are not the RED WAVE. Now....You are talking a FUCKING SCHOOL BOARD.... A SCHOOL BOARD.... FUCKING SCHOOL BOARD.... YEAH A FUCKING SCHOOL BOARD. yes I have to scream because if you are usings "teachers, schools, etc" as your measuring stick as BLUE WAVE... your an idiot. They have been leaning LEFT for decades.
Also the example used is in the HOUSTON area.... which HOUST IS BLUE. Now that specific area is RED/PINK.... but has been turning more "purple" the past few years. So again.... moving towards CENTER. Also look at the demographics of people fleeing CA to Texas.... you know where they are moving.... HOUSTON and AUSTIN. Yep.....facts. People flee a state for reasons they don't like "politically" (taxes and certain laws) but yet keep voting the same way. Makes no sense, but is what happens.
So again your marker is schools for a "blue wave" you are an idiot. It is like me saying GUN OWNERS VOTING RED is a marker for a red wave.
If they were, I missed that. The only one around here screaming is you.
All the talking heads that were saying the polls about the 17% rating for the Dem's, the political pundits saying "If" republicans win VA, NJ, etc. I guess you don't watch other news networks to get out of your bubble. Hell even CNN/MSNBC were saying "IF" those races went to the Republicans it wouldn't be good for the Democratic party.
Hell many Dem's were screaming that "A woman won in VA" was a fuck you to Republicans without even knowing that a woman was running as a Republican in that race. YEP.... these are facts. Like I said.... independent journalists went out and showed this. They also showed republicans being idiots in interviews too, showing how they were lying about stuff Mamdani was saying. BUT they also confronted Mamdani voters and asked them questions about Mamdani and they couldn't answer them. So showing ignorance all around by your "average" voter. These independent journalists are showing how the major media/social media is a huge bullshit propaganda machine lying to everyone. But I digress.
But seriously enlighten yourself, watch other news networks that don't spoon-feed you bullshit nonstop. I don't... I don't only watch FOX. Try getting your news from actual reporters.... independent journalists who are actually trying to bring news to people is a great start. OR just watch both sides of the slanted bullshit networks of FOX, MSNBC, CNN and then use your gray matter to try and see the truth. Go search out independent journalists....even if you think they are "slanted" one side or another. They are better than major media. I am not talking your Turning Points or things like that. But those outlets on both sides are also fun to go listen too as well.
That MAGA minion just likes to CAP scream, repeat himself, draw illogical conclusions, and drop F bombs. Consequently, nobody takes him seriously. Then he gets frustrated and gets all emotional and garrulous. That guy is a mess. Get him his pacifier quick.
I just proved the "chest beating' of the HUGE victory of the Dem's wasn't as big as you want to make it out to be.
It was in blue states, historically blue states, etc. Another example was a School board in TX in a was a blue city in TX, which is importing BLUE voters from CA. Also a school board....school boards lean left!!! Another example is replaced a Republican governor in VA who won by a small margin in a state that has been BLUE for years. In NYC it elected a self-proclaimed socialist/communist Mayor.....which is a BLUE city.... his competition and closest vote getter were a past Democrat running as an independent because he didn't get the democratic nomination. Yeah..... Not the "major" victory everyone is claiming. Like I mentioned it is a move towards center or status quo.
But yeah.... say what you want. Insult me all you want. It just keeps proving my point and keeps the stereotype alive. I reply with facts, demographics, voting history, etc. Others reply with insults.
Importing blue voters, huh? A +15% victory is a small margin, huh? Stop insulting our intelligence and we'll stop insulting you and your ridiculous posts.
Again... the small margin was the previous election when Youngkin won. The republican governor who stepped down. That wasn't a +15% margin. He won by 60K votes.
So again.... keep the stereotype up by insulting my intelligence when you can't keep up with the conversation.
What is the inflow of CA people into TX..... how do people vote in CA? Yeah.... facts go look them up yourself. CA has had a mass migration into TX. It has been with companies fleeing the state which in turn takes workers. 40% of new companies in TX have come from CA.
Keep trying to insult my intelligence..... I will keep bringing facts.
Polls from both NJ and VA had them going blue before the vote. It simply turned out that the margins were FAR higher than expected.
And no one claimed that NYC was a "major" victory. Or that it was a surprise. Mamdani had been leading all along by double digits.
And the turnout in CA was far greater than had been expected for a proposition with nobody on the ballot for other races.
So the question is, WHY were the margins greater than expected? Exit polls were consistent: it was largely an anti-Trump vote as well as a thumbs-down on Trump's economy.
No, you are NOT replying with facts.
You can say all you want. But it is the fact that it is still blue states still voting blue. Beat your chest all you want. It showed more people showed up to vote. Good. In NYC they didn't expect more people to vote for him and figured people would vote for Cuomo.... which they didn't.
You can say it was "anti-Trump" all you want. But again.... it was typically "anti-Trump" states voting "anti-Trump". Nothing really new. It was Anti-republican states voting Anti-republican.
Historical voting isn't facts. Population migration isn't facts. Yeah... margin of victory was big. But again that is showing that more people came out to vote. Also with FACTS.... who typically votes more in non presidential elections..... democrats or republicans? You don't want to admit that answer do you....
Just like a fact that most Republicans wont want to admit that in most midterm elections the party that holds the office of president typically loses house seats.
You never let go of anything, do you? You have a weak excuse for everything regarding trump. You refuse to accept that the margins of Democratic victories were greater than expected, and much greater than Democratic vote percentages in the 2024 election, because the vote was, in large part, a referendum on trump and his failed, deeply unpopular policies, and piss poor performance in 2025. You might want to get that MAGA blind spot of yours looked at.
My link: "Since 2023, the board has been controlled by a 6-1 conservative supermajority, which has enacted a range of far-right policies."
2023!!! That's not "decades," is it? TWO years ago the conservatives had a 6-1 SUPERmajority. Dems swept all 3 board seats to not only break the supermajority but to become the majority of the board.
"Decades" - yeah, you ARE a fucking moron.
...Public Service Commission for the first time since 2000, narrowing the GOP’s majority to 3-2 on the body that regulates utilities statewide.
In DEEP RED STATE MISSISSIPPI, Democrats took two Republican seats in the Mississippi Senate, BREAKING THE REPUBLICAN SUPERMAJORITY, and also picked up one seat in the House.
In Virginia, Democrat Ghazala Hashmi made HISTORY as she became the FIRST MUSLIM WOMAN to win a race for a statewide office IN THE COUNTRY with victory over conservative talk show host John Reid.
