Dems Didn't get a Signaiture

Chuck Todd noted that the Dems didn't get a 'Signature' win on Tuesday.

That is, they don't get to point to a rising star or stars and say, 'Look at these rising stars!'

Gillum lost in Florida. Abrams lost in Georgia. And of course, Robert Francis O'Rourke lost in Texas.

In 1994 the GOP pointed to all the governors getting elected and say, 'Look at all of our young governors', W being one of them. But there were others. People nobody really remembers now like Michigan's John Engler. There was Newt! Ahhh...Newt. What might have been.

Ditto 2010 when the GOP elected some very interesting candidates like Rand Paul, Marco Rubio,  of course, Ted Cruz. Paul Ryan found his niche in the House.

True enough. But at the time...

[Narrator: At the time you thought policy wonkism and position papers would win votes...]

We hang our head in shame...

[Narrator: You should.]

Well, we suppose the Dems can point Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Yorktown's finest, Ms. Venezuela. But do they really want to do that?

The free Electoral College jokes write themselves.

  1. Newt would have gotten destroyed by the timing of his marriages/death of wives.
