Merc14 Posted June 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) After months of hype, the GA 6 special election has been called for Karen Handel, the republican by 5% plus. Votes are still coming in but all projections have called it. South Carolina was a republican win as well.

Merc14 Posted June 21, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) 99% reporting Handel has 52.6% to 47.4%. 207 of 208 precincts reporting. $40M kept it closer than usual but I can think of better things the democrats could do with their money.

hatecraft Posted June 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Had Pajama Boy won by even a single vote, the MSM would spend the next 6 months talking about how it spells the end for Trump. Since he lost, the story will be gone within the next 24 hours. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F3SS Posted June 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Maybe they should run people with real convictions instead of yuppy outsiders with poll tested talking points. They never learn. Their Titanic has been sinking a long time now but I bet 2018 is when their hull cracks in half and they finally realize they've sunk. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted June 21, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2017 The one thing I really liked about Ossoff was that he rarely, if ever, mentioned Trump. He also, as far as I know, didn't make a habit of attacking Handel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Democrats needed to lose this so the message sinks in a little deeper. If they are ever going to come back they need to stop being the party of Hillary. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When looking at the county map the country is all red with little specs of blue. I'm not sure what it takes to get the message.

You can focus on the needs of donors that provide big money or on the needs of people who provide votes. Money can buy a lot, but it seems there are limits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamato Posted June 21, 2017 #15 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Another meaningless election for Georgia and the US. Handel is just like every other politician. She lies her ossoff. What a massive pile of mass media noise this was too. If this election accomplished anything, it's another new record in money wasted, and another precedent to usher in the next one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Grey Posted June 21, 2017 #22 Share Posted June 21, 2017 The MSM is as good at calling election results as I am at advanced rocketry (I've never built a rocket). When will the coast-loving Liberal spokespeople finally admit they have no idea what is happening in middle America? Like, how many more times do you want to be wrong on national television? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetpumper Posted June 21, 2017 #24 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Immediately after the special election in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District was calledfor Republican Karen Handel, an image went viral on social media for portraying the sadness many perceive the mainstream media has when Republicans are victorious. It was a screenshot a viewer snapped from CNN’s coverage of the election. http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/06/21/this-image-captured-the-mainstream-medias-reaction-to-georgias-election-and-went-viral/ LMAO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
