In what is becoming a Tuesday night ritual the DLCC congratulated Belcher on her win:

Democrats are now winning districts that Trump carried by 49 points

In 2016, Trump carried this district with 72% of the vote over Hillary Clinton, but not even two years later:

FINAL RESULTS: Linda Belcher wins. She got 68.45 percent if the vote. — Adam Beam (@adambeam) February 21, 2018

The results have nearly completely reversed.

Republicans don’t want to admit. They are still clinging on to the belief that their tax cuts will save them, but the Democratic wave is showing signs of possibly being one of the biggest in recent memory. The Russians are going to try and meddle in the election, but the blue wave may drown both Putin and Trump. With the social media companies under intense pressure not to let Russia run wild in US elections, the Russian misinformation campaign may face a much more difficult challenge gaining traction in 2018.

The blue wave is coming, and not even Trump’s pal Putin may be able to stop it.
