Democrats have won 6 GOP-held seats in 2017. Republicans have won 0 Democratic seats.

Washington (CNN)On Tuesday night, Democrats flipped two Republican-held state legislative seats -- one in Oklahoma, one in New Hampshire -- that Donald Trump carried in the 2016 election.

That makes six turnovers from Republican to Democrat in contested state House and Senate races so far in 2017 -- and 26 out of 35 races (at the state legislative and congressional level) in which the Democratic nominee has overperformed Hillary Clinton's showing last November. (Worth noting: Republicans have yet to flip a Democratic-controlled seat so far this year.)

==========================================================

Any questions?

No. Looks like some progress; much more needed of course.

I saw part of the Bannon-Rose interview last night. I don't doubt that he's interesting and articulate, and he looked better physically than usual.

One thing I noted, is his claim that populists on the left and the right have many of the same concerns, and the adversary are the establishment politicians of both parties.

But on the other hand, he said the Democrats would lose if they put up candidates "from the resistance." So that doesn't sound like he's endorsing the populists on the left at all. Bannon spoke with forked tongue. He went on to say that unless the Democrats nominate someone who appears to be as straight as possible, works 9 to 5, dresses conventionally, goes to church, etc. (I forgot everything he mentioned), then they will lose. In other words, if the left is the left, it will lose. Doesn't leave any room for all those leftists he claimed he was endorsing as part of his coalition. He said Ossoff (in the GA 6 race) was from the resistance too. Wrong; Ossoff probably lost because he compromised too much and was too moderate. He was wishy washy.

Bannon is as far from a populist as you can get. His appointments were all rich folks who want their wealth-producing enterprises to run without any restraint. Get rich by any means, no matter whom it hurts; government should have no say. That's the Bannon philosophy and the philosophy of all whom Bannon and Trump appointed. They did not drain any swamps; they filled them with alligators like themselves.

And as far as "economic nationalism," which he claims is his concern and desire, I have seen precious little of it. TPP was thrown away; that was fine. But what has he done about NAFTA? Nothing, or what he has offered so far would make things worse. And his claims that restricting immigration is "economic nationalism" is as phony as a phony passport. Our economy benefits from immigration, and the only people who lose jobs from illegal immigration are poor people who make a pittance already, and are probably immigrants. Restriction of the more skilled immigrants (HB1 or something like that) imported by Silicon Valley etc.? He might have a point, and yet he wants "immigration by merit." Sounds to me like THAT would allow plenty of immigrants that would compete for the good jobs held by Americans!

Bannon is a big fat ugly liar.
