Big news out of Wisconsin that could well confirm the big blue tsunami that will hit later this year as Dems take back GOP held seats across the land just as they recently did in several other states.

Of course, if Trump can convince the majority that he actually said SH**HOUSE instead of SH**HOLE, maybe the GOP can keep their majorities? :doh:roll:

Those numbers are a major Democratic turn around.Democrat Patty Schachtner won a special election for a state Senate seat in Wisconsin on Tuesday, scoring a huge upset victory for her party in a district that President Donald Trump handily captured just over a year ago.
It was the latest in a string of election victories for Democrats since Trump took office, and a sign of hope for the party that the energy from the base and frustration with the president could lead to more wins in November.
With every precinct counted, The Washington Post reported that Schachtner, the chief medical examiner for St. Croix County, won by 9 percentage points.
Republican Sheila Harsdorf had held the seat since 2001, but she left in November to become Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s agriculture secretary. In 2016, Harsdorf won re-election by 26 percentage points, and Trump beat Democratic rival Hillary Clinton by 17 points. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney won the district in 2012.
