Democrats eked out narrow wins in the races for lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state and superintendent of public instruction.

But Democrats blame Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson ’s disastrous campaign for governor, which was constantly plagued by his long history of incendiary remarks.

Bitzer also offered a blunt additional assessment of why Democrats ’ efforts to tie Robinson to Republican candidates worked in other races but not against Trump . “ Trump ’s got Teflon ," he said. "The rest of them don’t.”.
