Scott Walker -- a Trump "success story" -- will be leaving the Governor's office in Wisconsin. Sam Brownback (and his supply-side economics "experiment") in Kansas has already been sent packing.
Do not expect the nation to turn fully blue in one election cycle -- there is still a lot of orange in the water. There is still a solid core of voters who do not believe that the establishment in either national political party is representing their interests so they're willing to try something different. In the last Presidential election the only different choice was Trump. Both parties ignore the changes in the electorate at their own peril (and future). This isn't over, by a long shot.
