Opus 2017-406: Headlines: Referendum on Trump

Crickets.

That is what we are hearing about what I think was a recent election.  I say, “I think” because the article itself doesn’t give the date.  Such is the nature of modern journalism, in this case found in the Boston Herald.

We have heard a lot of PC rhetoric since the election in Virginia.  A Democrat won, replacing a Democrat in a state that Hillary took in the presidential election.  That was hailed as a warning for Trump that his days were numbered.  What have we heard about this election in Massachusetts?

Why would the “unbiased” media not make a big deal about this election?  Massachusetts is about as deeply blue as you can get.  Democrats hold 33 out of 40 seats in the state Senate.  The senator being replaced was a Democrat.  He was beaten by a Republican.  That Republican was also an immigrant.  This was news.  What have you heard?

Two elections.  Score before the elections:  Democrats 2, Republicans 0.  Score after the elections:  Democrats 1, Republicans 1. 

Sounds like a referendum on Trump to me.  Like I said, “Crickets”.
