None of these are that bad.
What they're saying about the 6th is true. Claiming this was some blow to Trump, or even tying it to Trump at all, is dumb at this point.

The overall embarrassing aspect of this vote, the fact that one Democrat could not get a majority of the votes among a smorgasbord of Republicans. That's rather pitiful if we're being honest here.

No offense to the fine citizens of GA06, but it's pretty stupid to extrapolate the views of 125-150,000 people in a random special election to the general population. The political news cycle needs to feed and this is currently the only thing on the menu.

This is correct. Republicans poured millions into a race that no Democrat had gotten over 40% in this century, only to barely (rain storm in Dekalb) force a run-off with their most unpopular candidate.
There are 26 districts that Clinton beat Trump in that are represented by Republicans. This isn't one of them. If they have to defend GA-06, they're beyond screwed in Nov 2018.

Meh...looks like a bunch of alternate facts are being thrown against the wall. Pretty typical from the bunch that still can't seem to accept election results...

Democrats are looking for crumbs if they are this worked up over a house seat race in a single district in Atlanta.
Trump has barely been in office 3 months....and these are the most local of elections when it comes to Washington. That single district is going to mostly vote for local interests either way.

did Toody write this? The republicans have a solid majority in the house. Losing 2 seats to unknowns wouldn't change a thing. Posted on 4/19/17 at 10:06 am to AdamsHouseCat
The Dumbocrats need to throw another 20 million or so at this seat.
That will be 30 million they don't have to spend elsewhere, and still lose.
Samuel L Jackson had better go make some more movies.

Rush nailed this one. It is already being sold as a nation wide repudiation of trump, even though he hasn't won anything and likely will lose this district.

If the 6th had a special election and HRC was president the democrat would probably not even get 20%.
It's not a big deal that Ossoff didn't get 50% plus 1. What is a big deal is the % of votes he did recieve.
It might be just about Trump, but I don't it.
