Democrats and their friends in the press touted the special election in the North Carolina 9th District as a referendum on President Donald Trump.
For the majority of the day on Tuesday they said this would prove that President Trump would be defeated in 2020.
They did not mention the tons of cash that was donated to the Democrat candidate, Dan McCready, from Hollywood and other Democrat strongholds.
They did not mention the fact that special elections when no one else is on the ballot are not the same as presidential elections.
And they had their narrative stomped on when the Republican candidate, backed by President Trump, Dan Bishop, won.
They immediately changed the narrative and attempted to say that the margin he won by was a danger for Republicans in 2020.
But they ignore the fact that in a special election the voter turnout is nowhere near what it is for a presidential election.
It is not that they do not know that fact, they are in the business of reporting on elections. It is that they want to promote a narrative.
Is the media biased against President Trump?
It was sad to watch the meltdown that happened from progressives after they did not get the victory that they wanted.
Mitt Romney won NC-09 by 12 points in 2012.Donald Trump won NC-09 by 12 points in 2016.Republican Dan Bishop is projected to win NC-09 by ~2 points in 2019.

To be clear: a ~2% Bishop (R) victory in #NC09, a district that voted for Trump by 12%, is still bad news for the House GOP overall.
It won’t do anything to convince House Rs undecided about seeking reelection in 2020 that they’re in position to win back the majority.

These people are going insane. They legitimately think they’re gonna die just because Democrats lost #NC09. pic.twitter.com/EQZ6yepfX1

I tell ya, #NC09 smells fishy, either NC is dumb as dirt, or they were hacked by Russia.
Cause what smart person would vote for the party that cheated in the last election?Answer: Not a smart one.

Imagine that…the GOP can cheat their asses off in an election forcing a do-over and the moronic people of #NC09 STILL vote for them. What a disgrace.
They probably cheated this time too. It’s just the @GOP way. #DanMcCready4NC

Funny that the media isn’t reporting that the democrats and their outside groups spent $8 Million + on #NC09 (vastly outspending Republicans) and still lost tonight’s election. In #NC03, the Republican won by 25%! Great night for the good guys! #NeverGetTiredOfWinning 👍
