Interesting US elections

Journal by khallow
I have two brief observations on the recent elections. First, it demonstrates that the alt-right threat was overrated with what I understand is one of the best showings by an incumbent party (the Democrats) in decades - particularly unusual given the sickly state of the economy.

Second, there was an interesting strategy by someone on the Democrat side to boost alt-right candidates by attacking them and this strategy appears to have worked pretty well with a number of primary races going to alt-right candidates who then lost in the general election to a Democrat.

Discuss.
