Democrats won across the Philadelphia region as Republicans are fading even on friendly turf

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

Great news from here in Southeastern PA!

Democrats won political control of the once-legendary GOP stronghold of Delaware County, part of what appeared late Tuesday to be a Republican wipeout across the Philadelphia region and in other elections around the country.

It was the first time since at least the Civil War that Democrats won control of the Delaware County Council. They not only won a majority, but also swept Republicans off the governing body entirely. Democrats won a majority on the Chester County Board of Commissioners for the first time in history, in the only suburban Philadelphia county where Republicans still outnumber Democrats. In Bucks County, Democrats were on track to capture the Board of Commissioners for the first time since 1983.

4. I do hope so!

I'm glad the results are good for whatever reason, but I hope people are beginning to accept that this Russia "hoax" "witch hunt" is in fact a real fight and that Trump and all the other Russian stooges need to be defeated.
