Trump wanted a culture war, looks like he got it... Too bad for him that the Democrats just won the shit out of the first battle.



@CharlotteAlter: A trans woman beat the guy who introduced the bathroom bill. A gun victim's boyfriend beat a delegate with an "A" grade from the NRA. A civil rights lawyer who sued the police department just became the top prosecutor in Philadelphia.

Something's happening here, folks.


@kylegriffin1: A N.J. Republican mocked the Women's March online.

32-year old Democrat Ashley Bennett was angered by the remark, challenged him in his re-election bid.

She won.


@amyharvard_: The real winner tonight is Danica Roem (D). She will be the first transgender lawmaker in Va.

But even better: She unseated Del. Bob Marshall (R) who ran on a transphobic campaign and sponsored Va. horrendous bathroom bill.

Beautiful.
