Secular progressive policies at home and overseas are not working.
The Ohio Republican Party had a separate and more subdued celebration going on, with Chairman Matt Borges announcing with a one-sentence statement that Trump had taken Ohio. He gets to keep his job as Senate Majority Leader.
They also held on to their majorities in chambers in several states that had been targeted by the Democrats, and apparently gained a tie in the previously Democratic-controlled Connecticut Senate.
It would be an irony if Mr Trump gets them to change their minds and ends up enacting more or less the kind of building project that Mr Obama always had in mind but couldn’t get through. It was a revolution. In Missouri, former Navy SEAL Eric Greitens (pictured) emerged from a five-person primary to become the Republican nominee.
They may also see political opportunity in some of the areas where Trump and the congressional GOP find easy agreement.
The State Board of Elections reported Wednesday a little more than 4.7 million ballots have been cast, or 68.2 percent of North Carolina’s 6.9 million registered voters.

Senate President Mike Thibodeau is seeking a second term as president, the first Republican to do that since 1980. Pence’s years in Congress and his executive experience as governor of in make him the go-to guy for navigating the labyrinth that is Washington.
