Rethugs Losing The Suburbs. No, not just Delaware County, which is pretty amazing by itself. The DC suburbs are gone. And D performance in the Kentucky suburbs across the river from Ohio bodes ill for R’s in 2020. Mecklenberg County in North Carolina, the list goes on and on. To me, that’s the political story […]
