This isn't California or New York or even Wisconsin. This is Oklahoma, arguably the most conservative state in the union. Trump won both by over 10 points in november.

Those are State seats.

How did they do in the race for Dog Catcher?

Not that I give a damn about the Republicans since they failed to overturn the Obamacare nightmare, but talk about lies by omission. Making an issue about Democratic state seats in Oklahoma? Check out all the Republican seats in blue states like New York, New Jersey and California.

Oh wait a minute, according to Mostpost those millions of people who vote Republican must be very smart because they live in intelligent states.

Now lets move on to the serious business of getting a serious third party to we can remove the republ-o-cratic albatross from around our throats. I mean this is why we elected Donald Trump. He is clearly NOT an establishment Republican, and we'll see how he does with a Democratic congress after those lying Republican senators are removed.

That was one seat in OK and one in NH. The seat in OK was in Norman, the home of the University of Oklahoma. Even in OK, the population in a college town is going to be a lot more liberal than the state as a whole.

Rosecrants lost the race in November by 20 points and then comes back and wins by 20. Hmmm. Counting Rosecrants, the party has picked up three previously GOP-held legislative seats in special elections since November.

News Flash! Trump inspires Democrats to go out and vote. Who could have predicted that? :eek:

According to Wiki, there are 7383 state legislators in the US. Three of the seats have swung since Trump took office. :rolleyes:

3 out of 7,383. What is that like 80%? 90%? My calculator buster so I'm not sure.
