Democrat Defeated By Dead Brothel Owner In Nevada Legislature Vote
Upset victories by a Democratic candidates for US Senate and the Nevada governorship drew national attention to the political news cycle in the Silver State Tuesday night. But lost amid the flurry of headlines was the landslide victory by Nevada brothel owner Dennis Hof, the self-described "Trump from Pahrump", who clinched a seat in the state legislature despite having died three weeks ago.

The incumbent in my district, Brian Fitzpatrick, was reelected but is seen as pretty moderate. Some interesting facts:
- My district has more registered Dems than Reps
- Hillary won this district in 2016
- Challenging Dem outspent Fitz by 5 to 1
- Fitz voted against the GOP tax bill as well asthe repealing of the Affordable Care Act
For me, voting was pretty easy, would never consider voting for someone that's pro-choice.
Meh.. he keeps referring to the incorrect predictions, but the reality is that it played out pretty much how every poll / article leading up to the election predicted. Dems took the house and Repubs gained a bit in the Senate. I think Florida would be pretty much the one prediction that was incorrect, but even that was so close it was within the margin for error.

It was not a tsunami but by my count (may be off by one or two by the time everything is counted)
House D +37
Govs D +7
I can’t find the article anymore but read D +350 in state legislature seats and D +6 in state leg control.
Senate Ds went 23-13 and would have had to go 25-10 to just hold the status quo.
That feels fairly wave-ish. Not sure how much more one could realistically expect.
With that said, Trump can also rightly claim wins in some states where he clearly helped the Rs in the senate.
On another note... from everything I can see, Seth Moulton is a great guy and I was proud to give him my vote again this year. I remember when he ran in the primary against Teirney and at the time it seemed crazy to do.
I don't see him as a candidate in 2020 (too early for him IMO), but look for him to be a rising star for the Democratic party.
