So despite Trump, first Black Mayor here, Woman's march activist wins elections, first transgender legislator there, Republicans losing?

The part of the story that's not being covered very well by the media is the number of women candidates who won. There are grass roots movements across the country to get more women into politics, and it looks like it's working. It was also women who voted overwhelmingly for the Democrat candidate in Virginia. If women come out in force, people like Trump won't be elected any more.

it is NO BIG DEAL to lose IN A BLUE STATE THAT HILLARY WON IN 2016 (like Virginia and New Jersey).

This isn't 1967 when the first black was elected mayor.

I guess you're another liberal trashbag that just woke up from a drug induced coma.

Carl Stokes

The first black mayor of a major U.S. city was Carl Stokes, a Democrat who was elected mayor of Cleveland, Ohio in 1967.

All minor victories in blue states. Get back to me when you take the House, Senate, or the Presidency.

Democrats have lost over 1200 seats in Government in the last 9 years. Funny how liberals ignore that.

You mean a purple state stayed purple?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!! OH MY GOOOODD!!!!! Stop the press!!! You mean a swing state swung?!?! This is a huge referendum against Trump!!!!!
