The Tectonic Plates Are Shifting

The surface of the earth is composed of large plates that move, sometimes separating, sometimes colliding.  This process involves centimeters of movement, but every now and then an earthquake occurs or a volcano erupts when the pressure builds.  


It’s the same way in politics.  Often the shift is slow; the movement is barely perceptible.  Yesterday we had evidence that the plates are moving.  Dan Goughnour won a special election for a seat in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.  The House was divided 101-101, but now the Dems have a one seat majority.  Even more amazing was a special election for the State Senate.  James Malone, Democrat, won a seat in the Pennsylvania State Senate that had gone for Trump by double digits.  


The plates are moving.
