GA 6 Special Election - in game thread

[dcbl]

Live results can be tracked here - Live Election Results: Georgia’s Sixth Congressional District

Our friends on the left and in the media want so bad to turn this into a referendum on Trump

The socialist will get over 40% tonight, but then will get crushed in the runoff - book it

The early returns will give leftists something to fap about, but relax

We (Republicans) are not losing this seat

Stomping your feet may help......Try it.....LOL

Early returns look good for the socialist, but that won't last

He has no chance in the runoff

It is a referendum on Trump.

The GOP normally wins the district by 25 points, so let's see. GOP on TV say they can longer support Trump because of his inability to act with presidential "decorum."

I agree that is the likely outcome

Special elections are usually closer because of the smaller turnout

 

[JakeStarkey]

The dem will need to do very well in Cobb County tonight, and that is not a given.

What's interesting about Trump's seeming strategy to make the race a referendum on his first 89 days as president is that this district isn't exactly Trump territory. While the district has a long Republican pedigree -- this is the area that elected Newt Gingrich to Congress and went for Mitt Romney by more than 20 points in 2012 -- Trump barely eked out a victory last November.

Wonder if the theft of the voter ebooks might effect anything...

Dems have thrown big money at this election, most of the cash has come from out of state

This is also a big "establishment / Never Trump" district for republicans

I hate out of state money in local elections.

Utah is controlled by out of state money.

Utah is controlled by out of state money.

Most State level elections are.

I've noticed social media is overjoyed because ossoff is winning in the left leaning precincts they counted first.

I know the media does this on purpose to make it look like democrats are dominating but you'd think they'd realize by now that they are always disappointed when all the votes come in.

I highly doubt trump is thinking strategy here..

Yeah, but Utah is a small state where that outside money has a bigger impact

Nevada too. And yes, smaller States suffer outside influence far more than large States.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Is he the most qualified candidate in the history of history?

That's the Dim strategy, dumbass, not Trump's.

A little history on special elections Scott Brown won the special election for Ted Kennedys seat after his death lost it in the next election. A win in a special election does not mean your going to get a huge changing of the guard.

 

[dcbl]

And his numbers keep slipping

You might ask yourself, why isn't he 50 points ahead?

NO, nitwit.....what gets counted first is the early votes, and democrats are usually well ahead in that department since right wingers are too damn busy watching and looking for direction from Fox and Friends and Bill-O.
