. >> so see this means a lot more than it does, let's check out in washington, d.c., doug luzader, whato we make of all of this, good morning, doug. >> good morning, yes, you know, the question always with these things is how much of the bell weather is this? is it predictive at all about what's going to happen in next year's midterm elections or the 2020 presidential race for instance. these off year elections are generally tough for the party that controls the white house. and that certainly held true last night there is virginia race was fast nature to go watch. because the democrat ultimately won. keeping that seat in democratic hands. but, this was a very hotly contested race. there was a lot of outside money, pouring into this contest, and it was very devisive. ultimately the democrat won by about nine-point. now, is that just kind of a typical off year election response or is there something larger in play here? is this really rebuke of the president? now the president himself tweeted about this last night, saying, that ed gilesby didn't go too closely to the president's policies
