#3 It’s tight, according to the Politico link:

With 100% of precincts reporting, the special election in Ohio's 12th district is too close to call.

Troy Balderson (R) has 50.2 percent of the vote with 100% of precincts in, compared to 49.3 percent for Danny O'Connor (D). There are still 3,300 provisional ballots and some more absentee ballots outstanding.

But this is only for holding the seat until the winner of the November election is sworn in next January, so if the Democrat wins now there is still that to look forward to.

#5 And because the eGOP couldn't stand to have a Trump guy winning. They wanted to send a message that he needed to give to their demands if he wanted their support.

It seems they have failed. Next round of primaries these bums need thrown out of office.

#7 Meanwhile out here in Washingtonstan, the Dems picked up at least four state seats, meaning we are doomed for carbon tax, gun control, and all sorts of demosocialist sh!t.
