Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America break down how the Democrats easily swept the statewide races in Virginia and even reversed a huge GOP majority in the state assembly. They also discuss easy wins by Democrats in New Jersey and New York City, where the Republicans hardly appear to be a factor anymore. And they roll their eyes as Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake proposes a law to ban gun sales to people convicted of domestic violence – because that exact law already exists.

Is Flake ancient Dutch for redundant?
VA is a deep blue state. Unsure why the surprise, esp. coupled with the fact that this is the year after a presidential election. Everyone step off the ledge. Voter turnout will be different in 2018. Sheesh. There’s one hiccough after 5 years of uninterrupted success and Ricochetti are despondent. We’re riding Trumpism [i.e. common sense, center right politics] until AT LEAST 2020.
Also, last GOPer elected mayor of NYC…Democrat Michael Bloomberg!! Things aren’t bad enough in Gotham for them to call Batman [the GOP] and then publicly bemoan his tactics while enjoying the fruits. But give them time, they’ll get there.
