Next election is Pennsylvania 35, a state house district that has been held by Dems for decades. It appears to be in an area that trended Trump, though I'm not sure if he won the districts. Any predictions?

According to Wikipedia, these are all of the boroughs and townships in the district and how they voted in 2016...

Clairton - Clinton
Duquesne - Clinton
Lincoln - Trump
McKeesport - Clinton
Munhall - Clinton
South Versailles Township - Trump
Versailles - Clinton
West Mifflin - Clinton
Whitaker - Clinton
White Oak - Trump

They are all a cluster in Allegheny county, south east of Pittsburgh. Mark Gergely, the Democrat who held the seat and is now resigning, won reelection in 2016 with 62.5% of the vote. The Democrat running for the seat, Austin Davis, is crushing the republican in fundraising. I fully expect the Democrat to win.

I just can't stop laughing at all of the Trump Twitter accounts claiming yesterday was a "Red Wave". They are so oblivious.

This is one of the most cringy videos I have ever watched.

Oh man. Scott Presler is just a downright idiot.

Nothing cringe worthy about it.  He is just enthusiastic.  I think he does not understand that incumbent parties winning special  elections does not mean the out party will not have a wave.

His tone and voice are grating, not to mention his horrible twitter. And yes, he understand exactly the deception he is doing to get retweets and likes.

For once I am with LimoLiberal here. Once in a while I will surf on over to this guy's twitter to read all of the crap he spews. I physically cannot watch his videos. He's so robotic and his attempts to act really charismatic and excited are painful to watch.

Wait, the district is south east of Pittsburgh and contains many solid-Clinton blue-collar towns and Limo seriously thought the Republican could win it?

The Trump turds on twitter were seriously trying to rally around the Republican in this race as if she had a chance.

Yep. Seems like the Republican won only one precinct and none of the towns. Trump and Toomey won quite a few in 2016.

With the results we are seeing, McCaskill should be able to pull off a narrow reelection.

FL72 is the critical race tonight since it is a bellwether in one of the biggest swing states in the country.

Why is the 60-70% GOP Precinct not showing up on the 2016 map?

Mother Jones is trying to downplay the special elections for some reason... their article contradicts their title.

Scott Presler is a fu***** moron. More than 95% of the candidates he supports don't believe that as a gay man he doesn't have a right to exist.

His videos also make me cringe.
