what we learned from this race or what we re continuing to learn from this race is republicans with their anti pelosi message, their pro tax reform message were not able to overcome donald trump s drag on republican candidates, so that s why we see what we re seeing now, a democrat winning a race where a democrat shouldn t even have been competitive. as we speak, steve stooifers, the chair of the national republican campaign committee is meeting with republican house members and telling them be afraid, get your acts together. we he s saying we ve got to take this very, very seriously. the political report says there are 47 districts where republicans as vulnerable as saccone. what does this mean? what should republicans be thinking this morning? they may be counting their lucky stars that the bomb went off now because it is hard to ignore. you can overinterpret special elections. it s our job.
