This lady in Georgia is the epitome of a fat stupid bible thumping piece of shit. America gets what it deserves.

(37,648 posts)Ossoff doesn't live in the district, he said. What the pundit said was that he was hearing a lot of talk about Trump, not the candidates. Handel isn't liked much, either.
If he doesn't win, it doesn't portend well for 2018 and will not cause Congressional Republicans to re-think their plans.
It matters that it's close, in this district. But in the end, a win is a win. Maybe it'll go into a runoff or there will be a recount, regardless of who wins.

(37,648 posts)The Dem got 48%, Repub 50% or something. So it was close in a heavy Trump area, but the Repub won.
What matters most is winning, although coming close in Trump territory gives reason to hope for 2018. But winning is necessary to get the attention of Republicans, change their plans on what they're doing. Otherwise, they view a win as a win, and as a rubberstamp for the direction they're going.
But it does show the enthusiasm for the Dems in these Trump territories, and it is worth noting that the Dems are doing better there than they have for decades.

(10,016 posts)Those that voted wanted to defeat the opposition liberal progressives to a fucking pulp. They did not even listen the the candidates' positions. They just always need their perceived side to win and are passionate about it. Ossoff ran a pretty moderate campaign and if he had somehow had an (R) after his name, he would have won in a walk.
So a heavily Republican Georgia district replaces a rubber stamp R with another rubber stamp R. Not a real surprise.
