City council seats, mayorships and state governments have seen radical change in the past 24 hours - in all three states where major elections had run. The only republican victories were four seats in historical blood-red districts (which Trump subsequently celebrated in trying to spin Gilespie's loss in Virginia). That Gilespie lost so badly against Northam (who was a weak candidate at best that managed to annoy both liberals and conservatives with constant gaffes) despite having embraced an over Trumpist campaign - is a major sign of the times.
Over the course of 2017 I have become convinced that the left in the USA is energized like never before, preparing for a rise of liberalism such as hasn't existed there since the end of FDR's administration. Yesterday was the first proper election where the momentum could be tested - and the results are very heartening. 
The GOP can expect a round trouncing in the 2018 midterms. 
4/10 voters gave healthcare as no.1 issue. Too bad for the GOP.
