1. I'm frustrated by the resources expended

The people who sent Ossoff $25 million dollars better be willing to open their checkbooks for Doug Applegate who nearly beat Issa and whatever corpse we prop up in a chair to run against Dana Rohrabacher.

There are a lot of Republicans in California who could be sent to Rancho Mirage with well funded and competitive candidates.

12. Me too!

Sure like to see how the math works out for vote per dollar spent. How many truly competitive House and State Rep races could have benefited from a fraction of that $25 mil?

I'm all for a 50 state strategy and having a presence in every race but that has to be tempered by reality, too. The way to victory in GA-6th is through state rep/senate races in more competitive districts in order to win enough seats to undo the gerrymandering.

2. I voted Yes..

But my disappointment always wears off in a couple days.

Maybe there should be a Only Temporarily option.

3. I am getting there however

For the creulity of the GOP when it comes to health care. I cannot believe they are pulling this.

Sorry for the topic switch...

4. Republicans are struggling under Trump and Democrats are energized!

What I take from yesterday's election results is that Republicans are struggling under Trump and Democrats are energized!

[tazkcmo]

5. Nope.

A big fat nothing burger.

[orangecrush]

6. Losing makes me hungry!

[CTyankee]

7. yes, I am wondering if this will ever end...

we have a glimmer of hope and then on TV the next day the newsies are saying it's an upset that didn't happen, too bad Dems this is your fate.

Goddamn it...

[Madam45for2923]

8. We must stay united to #ProtectOurCare from the deadly Republican health care plan. #DontAgonizeOrga

9. Not really it was a solid red district for last 40 years

Besides all Handel bought herself is potentially one year in congress, her seat is up again in 2018. She spent all that money to retain a seat by a four point margin that was already a GOP seat before Price joined Team Orange. If Rethugs understood irony, they would be swimming in it right now.

10. Not really

It was just another confirmation that the loyal, brain dead, lock step republicans are reliable to follow orders to get out and vote. There were probably many who didn't vote the first go around. But with the time in between first election and the runoff election, the orders were given and dripping with paranoia and socialist doom - so more made sure they voted.

I hoped, but expected nothing different than Ossaff losing.

11. Is "I feel kinda weird" an option?

[GreydeeThos]

13. I am so disappointed by the build up

Ossoff almost won it in the first election. We were told in the runoff there would only be two candidates, and Ossoff would have the advantage. We were told the poll numbers favored Ossoff. We were assured by the experts in the media this would be the turning point for the 2018 mid terms.

By election day the polls were even-up, the experts called it a toss-up, and now we are being told to 'get over it'.

I feel like I have had a month of emotion stolen from me.

14. I'm demoralized by all the hate. Nt

[Equinox Moon]

15. I'm disappointed. Time for dems to win.

A country run by republiCons is horrific!

[mshasta]

16. what kind of shit question is that

[Bettie]

18. I'll feel terrible about it for a few days

and then I'll move on.

[dawg]

19. Yes.

I know it's a Republican district. I'm very familiar with it.

But this one, along with the one in Montana, shows that the country will have to really suffer before there will be any meaningful change in the electorate.
