How Can You Not Win an Election but Have an “Emotional Victory?”

[longknife]

That’s the spin the Lame Street Media’s putting on the Georgia District 6 special election. And NBC sees “Ominous Sign for GOP” over the results.

Sad isn’t it? They do their best to turn a loss into a win.

Since Ossoff won by 30 points, it was a real victory.

One Dimmocrat against four Republicans is not a real victory, genius.

 

[Sunni Man]

Nothing more delusional than a liberal Democrat in a state of denial. ....

So Donald Trump as the GOP 'outsider' running against 15 GOP insiders wasn't a real victory either I suppose.

So why did all those Republican candidates who knew they didn't have a chance of making the top two stay in the race when all they would accomplish would be to give the Democrat a very good chance of winning outright?

Greed? Ego? Typical conservative stupidity?

 

[NYcarbineer]

If Ossoff didn't win, who did?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Actually I read there were either 11 or 12 republican contenders and 4 democrats.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

If Ossoff didn't win, who did?

No one that is why there will be a runoff dumb ass.

How Can You [Lose] an Election but Have an “Emotional Victory?”

Say what?

• Is the term "pyrrhic victory" unfamiliar to you? Trust me, it has poignantly psychic and literal applications.
• Is there anything at all about which humans are incapable of feeling good?

 

[usmbguest5318]

So Donald Trump as the GOP 'outsider' running against 15 GOP insiders wasn't a real victory either I suppose.

"Insider/outsider" status has nothing to do with the nature of the victory.

The 2 special elections do portend trouble for the GOP. In both instances Democrats ran better than they did in 2016. In Georgia, the Democrat did 1.5 points better than Clinton did. If Democrats run 1.5 points better in 2018, that could mean a Democrat gain of 19 seats. I suspect the Republicans running ran the gamut from Trump skeptic to Trump sycophant. The problem is for the Republican nominee is to get all these disparate voters to turn out again.

Also it will be interesting to see if Republicans pull out all the stops the way they did in the Kansas race. The establishment even brought in Sarah Palin who they despise.

 

[Disir]

It's a bunch of BS is what it is. If Ossoff loses in the runoff then the Democrats will have to get their shit together much faster. Right now it's a test of how much the anti-Trump propaganda works. If the anti-Trump propaganda works then they don't have to reflect on their policies. At all. Which is something these clowns do everything within their power to avoid.

The problem is Karen Handel is both well known and relatively well liked.

Hmmmm who got the most votes in that election?

In a district that votes solidly Republican?

I know what a runoff is.

Winners advance to the runoff. Losers don't.

so...Did Ossoff WIN or LOSE?
