And now the overreaction!
Murphy
So let ' s do " Overreaction Day ” and talk about Tuesday ' s elections . For many years   sports journalist Randy Galloway had a radio sports show in the Dallas - Ft Worth area . On Mondays   or the day after the Cowboys ' game   he ' d call it " Overreaction Monday "  or an opportunity for every fan to say whatever was in their minds about the team   players   or coaches . It was often hilarious   especially when fans called in their latest conspiracy theories about this or that . Just saw a headline on AOL about a " bombshell election ." Did I miss a huge upset somewhere ? In reality   we saw Democrats win elections that they were supposed to win . Did anyone seriously think that Mayor De Blasio would be defeated in New York City ? I think that the real story in New York City had to be electoral apathy . Maybe that ' s what happens when a small group of voters pay the overwhelming majority of taxes ! Governor Kim Guadagno of New Jersey to keep the seat after Governor Christie ? I ' m amazed that she got 44 % of the vote . Over in Virginia   I expected a closer vote but not necessarily a GOP victory . Mr . Northam got 53 %  a majority but no landslide ! So what can we say about Tuesday ? The Democrats are winning elections in " blue areas " or a state like Virginia gradually flooded by federal employees . First   Tuesday ' s results confirmed that Democrats are excited   although I have not seen any evidence that they can win a district or state held by a strong incumbent Republican . Second   the GOP Congress needs to get the message that voters expect tax and health care reform . You can ' t promise to repeal Obama Care and then not do it when you have the votes . Congratulations to the winners   although  Governor - elect Murphy  will soon realize that New Jersey voters are angry and will turn on  him  quickly . Yes   Christie had " Bridgegate " and " Beachgate " but Mr .  Murphy  will now inherit a total mess with unfunded public pensions   collapsing infrastructure and voters who are sick and tired of paying taxes . Governor elect Northam will face an angry left that has already turned on him over sanctuary cities . As in sports   there are no guarantees . However   the GOP could guarantee itself winning in 2018 by keeping its promises and showing that it can govern . Or   the GOP can continue to look incompetent and give the Democrats any opening in 2018 ! You can listen to my show ( Canto Talk ) and follow me on Twitter .
