“The suburban losses seem to continue in some places,” Graham noted Wednesday morning as Republicans started to digest Tuesday’s results. “I think when you look into [it], it’s more about tone and style than it is about policy.”…

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), an adviser to Senate GOP leadership, called Tuesday’s results a “wake-up call,” especially in terms of the need to win back suburban voters.
