GA 6 Special Election - in game thread

[JakeStarkey]

The elfcats are worrying that the Dem will win, obviously, worrying a lot

 

[blackhawk]

Let's see in the Kansas special election where Trump won big in the Presidential election and the Republican won by seven points that's considered bad for Trump but in Georgia in a district Trump barely won and the Democratic candidate could not get the 50 percent margin to avoid a runoff that's considered good for the Democrats I love the way some people think.

Logic, elfcat, ain't your strong suit, is it. In KS, there were two candidates, and in GA there were five. Ossof got almost 48% of the election, and beat the closest GOP by more than 2.5 times the vote. You are not good at this, elfcat.

The victory for the ages......isn't.
BTW, does this guy sound like he's even from Georgia?
I've lived there.....nobody in Georgia sounds like they're from San Francisco...

He was born in Atlanta but he hung around DC commiecrats and sounds like he's from Jersey.

Kind of like Al Gore......sounds like he's from Washington and he's an absolutely flaming faggot.

Shouldn't you be starting some more fail threads about right wing terrorist going on shooting sprees? By the way dummy the other Democrats were non factors all the money and support went to Ossof who was running against 11 Republicans non of which the Republican leadership got behind fully given that Ossof should have easily gotten over the 50 percent mark. Try thinking before you post from now on.

The Republican candidate in Kansas should have won by double digits. The Democrats provided very little support for their candidate. The Republicans suffered approximately a 60% drop in votes from 2016 while Democrats suffered a 42% drop-off. Clearly Democrats were more enthused but in Kansas the Republicans had a large cushion. In many seats, Republicans do not have that large of a cushion.

In Georgia, the Democrat ran 1.5 points ahead of Clinton. One article pointed out to the fact that would mean a 19 seat gain in 2018 which would at best a uncomfortably close margin for Republicans at worst a disaster which could cause Republicans to lose control. Even now the Republican nominee will have to consolidate the votes of the other 4 candidates. Interesting to see if Republicans put on a full court press to keep the seat the way they did when the Kansas Senate seat was in danger.

Elfcat, should you not not be trolling here, and actually you should try to rehabilitate the thread. Oh, you can't? OK, troll. I can squash you anytime as I always do.

Some have noticed that Georgia District #6 is not a Trump District at all. The further right or further pro-Trump the Republican, the less well the Republican did. The face-off will tend to be more between two moderates, with the Trump Flower-Power vote not really interested.

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
"If you're going. . . .to Mira La-go! Be sure to wear. . .some flowers in your hair(?)!" Notably missing in the weekend trips to Florida--seem to be Republican Congressmen and Senators(?). . .who may have a different take on it all(?)!)

If the Trumpers are not interested, the seat is in danger of going Dem.

The point is ~ the Dems have a decent chance where they should have no chance.

Yet they didn't win. The R's garnered more votes than the D. Seems as though he will lose the runoff.

And so following the JakeStarkey post, The Trump voter used to be alienated and disaffected until Trump became--mostly their phenomenon. The GOP winner in Georgia 6 is not one of them, where even their "swing" vote was already split.

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(And In Georgia District 6: FBI Director Comey, wasn't even on the ballot(?)!)

Let's see if the DNC doubles down or not. They spent a ton of money trying to get their guy to 50% in the initial election and failed, will they throw more money now that its a two person race?

There were 11 GOP candidates, moron.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Yet Ossoff kicked ass on the R's: that cannot be played any other way. He stomped them.

So the seat is up for grabs, far different than anyone would have suspected.

The softness of the seat is due to Trump's lack of decorum and ability as President, directly attributable to Trump.

Of course. This is kind of a last gasp for them as a national party. If they can't pull this off, they are in deep shit.

I don't consider them buried yet. When Obama was elected Conservatism/Libertarianism was considered dead, and look what happened.

How did he "kick their ass"?

It was a wide open field for Republicans while the Dems made sure they only had one viable candidate on the ballot.

Their goal was reaching 50% in the prelims, they failed.

Oh, the Progressive movement is alive and well... just not getting the support of most Americans. There are only so many Jake Starkeys.

And that was with lower turn out

 

[depotoo]

There were more than 5000 extra votes for Rep than the Dems in the election. If they sway those voters over they have if, since it will be only 2 candidates thus time..

48% is one helluva start for the runoff.

We'll see how Handel performs now, but he's in a good spot.

This would be a legitimate momentum-starter for the Dems, if he wins.
