Stop talking polls. Start talking wins.

Wins are stacking up.

An entire slate of MAGA-aligned candidates got blown out last night in a suburban / rural county in **Tennessee** that Donald Trump previously carried by 26 points.

This was a local election in Franklin, TN

Not particularly rural.

The Mayor, who won... was an incumbent.

One Alderman ran unopposed.

Two incumbent Aldermans won.

And a new Alderman was elected because the old one ran for Mayor.

Ken Moore, who won the election for Mayor is a Republican.

Even though they're all non-partisan... I don't think a single one of them is a Democrat.

Is the Xitter person clueless?

The Biden campaign says it's a close race. The polls say its a close race.

I don't know if this is a strong possibility, but a good reminder that EVERY VOTE COUNTS, at every level of government.

elections, and special elections. It was something like 30 wins for Dems to 3-5 for the gqp.

The best elections for the gqp are now behind them…they know it!!!
