Tuesday, Election Night, was a bad night. But was it a bellwether of electoral catastrophes to come? Or just a blip, just typical blue-state candidates winning typical blue-state voters?

To answer that, we may have to wait until next November. But it’s not looking too good. What’s most striking to me is that for all the talk about multi-racialism and diversity, the new female governors of New Jersey and Virginia are both cut from the same Hillary Clinton pant-suit cloth.

Mikie Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger are polished blondes, outspoken feminists and pro-choice Democrats with elite government backgrounds. Both women have long resumes of government and military service, law, and business. There is nothing “diverse” about them: they are about as white and blonde as white women get.

But when you’re CIA (like Spanberger) or a groundbreaking Navy pilot (like Sherrill), they let you do it.
