Ok and????? This race was a straight up toss up because of no incumbent at all and this was supposedly a referendum on Trump. So Ossoff and the Democrats lost today. 0-4 MAGA.

Ahh and the spin and walking back begins 

Walking back? What did I walk? I was surprised a 30 something documentary producer who never ran for office won the primary  let alone stayed on range.

Clearly influenced by the Russians. --Anonymous sources in the Department of Horse ****

 

I guess proximity is a problem!

The Democrats actually won because the Russians hacked the election and the count is all wrong.... It's all the Russians fault not ours

-Democrats

 

 

This was a good win for Karen Handel and a upset against the Democratic Party. Do y'all remember right after the first election when he got 47.8% and the Democrats were saying "we got this, this election is ours come June". Now look what happened. 

Does that remind you of anything in recent history?

And that was with a DNC candidate trying to do his best centrist impression of Bill Clinton.

Yes, he won the primary in a field of what?  Five Dems, 11 Repubs, and 2 independents, that was the DNCs best chance and they lost that one as well.  The Dems can spin this all they want, but the results are clear that this was a local election won by Handel.  Whether or not this was a referendum on Trump was a stretch.

Dems just lost South Carolina's 5th district special election.

 

That's 0 for 3 in their millions spent on pushing a referendum on Trump in local elections.

 

Will it be 0 for 4 tonight in Georgia? 

Technically 0-5 as the first election in Georgia 6 was an open election and not a primary meaning that if anyone got over 50%, they would have won outright.  Therefore the Dems actually lost this one twice.

Correction, the first election was not a primary, but in fact an open election with 18 candidates all trying to get to 50%.  Ossoff may have got the most votes in that election, but he did not win it outright.

I love the fake news lame stream headlines this morning, playing it off as if no Den could win there.

 

After they have been billing this as the election that will stop Trump.

 

Will these idiots ever learn.  

 

P.s. the polls and press. WRONG AGAIN

Will Perez start dropping more "F" bombs now?

 Maybe just maybe the dems will get. Their policies fail. People know this now. They spent 22 mil in a congressional race and still got smoked. 

 

It's like if you been married 5 times, it may be you.

We need to have an investigation into Russian collusion in this election. Putin was personally involved in this election. It's the only way the Republicans could have won despite CNN and other reputable news outlets predicting a Democrat win.

No doubt we'll be hearing about how racist/sexist/bigoted America is.

That may be a tough spin since both candidates appeared caucasian, and the woman won (however, maybe Ossoff self-identied as something else).  That only leaves those big bad Russians!

Its funny because while utilizing Twitter for real-time vote results, I saw tons of Bernie voters who said they voted for Handel because Dems tried to make them seem sexist for not voting for Hillary, so they felt compelled to not be sexist.  I dunno if they were serious or not, but that's still funny.
