Dems Lose Five For Five Open Seats

[seer]

Again, last night in Georgia! The polls Monday had them neck and neck, with some having Ossoff up two points, but Handel won by five points even with Ossoff spending much, much more.

Somewhat encouraging news, but pretty much all the races were closer than initially expected. This shouldn't be taken as a sign that Republicans will escape mid-term elections unscathed.

Well it doesn't bode well for Dems...

I wouldn't say that. It's less than they'd hoped, obviously, but they weren't exactly blown out of the water.

After 6 months of wall to wall negative coverage on the MSM these five wins in a row are nothing short of a miracle.
At the very least they're evidence that the people no longer believe the press - which is perhaps a more significant win.

Ouch - even the daily beast...

The Democratic party's Kill Whitey platform turns a lot of that energy against them. A significant % of their black voters won't turn out for a white democrat as a direct result of that, while they also end up bleeding centrist white democrats.

So the Democrats keep insisting that an election loss at the congressional level would signal a referendum against Trump. Does that mean a Republican win signals a referendum for him?

You would think feminists would be delighted that a relatively unattractive woman defeated a young, white pretty boy.

I spent this last weekend with my liberal brother.
I told him that liberalism is a suicide cult and cited several examples.

The liberals and the MSM want to spin a narrative that American hates Trump and conservatives. All they show is the antifa demonstrations, keep pushing the Russian thing, now the obstruction of justice, etc. But apparently the public doesn't buy it. They still want republicans in office. They don't trust the MSM and what they report.

Things to keep in mind...

• At least 97% of the $30 million that was spent trying to get this empty suit elected came from out of state (with nearly all of it from California and New York).
• Ossoff could not even vote for himself being he isn't a resident not only in the 6th district but even the state of Georgia. He didn't even bother to lease or rent a place of his own (showing at least some
