So disappointingly we only hooked one of three impeachment reps last night.\u00a0 Michigan booted Meijer last night and selected Trump\u2019s pick Gibbs<\/a>.\u00a0 But both Newhouse and Herrera-Beutler skated by in Washington state.\u00a0 In retrospect it seems obvious that in a deep blue state like Washington what passes for Republicans are going to be diluted with people who would be considered Democrats in red states. \u00a0In the future it will make sense to stop thinking about counting \u201cRepublicans\u201d in places like Washington as reliable votes.\u00a0 At best they can be thought of as Independents that might be bargained with on certain votes.<\/p>\n

The big disappointment of the night was Kansas rejecting the pro=life amendment to curtail abortion<\/a>.\u00a0 Well, Kansas got their say.\u00a0 They\u2019ll live with it.<\/p>\n

Missouri rejected Greitens in favor of Schmitt.\u00a0 Probably not a big deal.\u00a0 Michigan went for Trump\u2019s pick Dixon.\u00a0 Good.\u00a0 Arizona selected Masters for Senator.\u00a0 Good.<\/p>\n

But it looks like there\u2019s some chicanery going on with the vote for Arizona governor.\u00a0 It\u2019s stuck at 80%.\u00a0 With Lake ahead by about 2% I assume the crooks are cooking up new votes for her opponent.\u00a0 Should be a good test of what the cheating will look like in November.<\/p>\n

All in all, a pretty good night.\u00a0 The outlines of the new Republican party are taking shape.\u00a0 The areas that really are conservative will begin to diverge from the areas that are now reliably liberal.\u00a0 And that\u2019s all to the good.\u00a0 Local rule is the name of the game.\u00a0 Give the people what they want.\u00a0 Let them live with their choices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
