"SNIP......

In deep-red Kentucky, Democrat Linda Belcher sailed to victory in the state's 49th House District seat with 68% of the vote on Tuesday.

Belcher's win marked an 86-point swing from the 2016 general election, when President Donald Trump won the district with 72% of the vote.

The seat was previously held by Dan Johnson, a controversial former pastor who committed suicide in December, a day after a media investigation exposed allegations that he sexually assaulted a 17-year-old girl.

"People are using their votes and voices to take a stand against the anti-Kentuckian policies of the Republican majority," Ben Self, chair of the Kentucky Democratic Party, said in a statement. "We are confident we will have continued success during the 2018 midterm elections. We have a record-breaking number of Democratic candidates, who along with energized voters, remain passionately focused on state and local issues concerning our children, working-class families and the future of our state."

3. This should show that we should run a Dem everywhere

There should be no uncontested general elections anywhere in the country in all races, Federal, state, and local.

8. Bring back Howard Dean! His 50 state approach worked.

The Democratic Party should never have allowed Dr. Dean to be sidelined.

5. She had the seat, but lost 50-49 in 2016

So she wasn't a new candidate.

She only swung the vote by 19%. Or Trump did, or gooper policies.

I'll take it in any case
