Leave it to Scott Jennings to find the silver lining in a horrible election night for Republicans: The Zohran. He is the new leader of the Democrat Party, and will lead to primary challenges from the Hudson River to the Salton Sea. Now that The Zohran doesn’t have to pretend to be a “moderate” anymore and can strut in his true form, it’s going to cause headaches for a Democrat Party already struggling with its extremist base.
It’s not much of a silver lining. The right definitely got schlonged last night. I’d just offer two things.
1. We were always going to lose. There were glimmers of hope in a few New Jersey polls, and it would have been nice if Northern Virginia wine moms stopped chasing their SSRIs with Sauvignon Blanc long enough to NOT vote for the attorney general candidate who wanted to murder children. But it is what it is. Both are blue states. When one party wins the White House, Virginia goes the other way the following year. It’s the circle of life.
