I guess you missed the long faces on CNN when it become obvious Handel would win. They really thought this was the one to shift the momentum, that they would finally have the "referendum" against Trump they've been longing for. Democrats spent an unprecedented amount of money on this race because they really thought they could win.

Originally posted by JimL View PostA disappointment for democrats, but not a big deal. Dems were not expected to win any of those redder than red districts in a special election in the first place, if they did win it would have been an anomaly and a big deal, they didn't pullit off, but they came much closer in all of them than anyone expected they would from the get go. All it shows really is that the dems have made inroads, but not enough to overcome bright red districts. I wouldn't be jumping for joy over the results if I were republican, they won but they won by much smaller margins in what were extremely red districts.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

It should trouble Democrats - as hard as the media has been pushing the anti-Trump vitriol it is odd that they lost all five."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
