Georgia Has a Message for Republicans: Be Worried


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.

is that the message here

1 congressional district in Georgia, holy shite. I guess when you're starving you'll eat up any crumb you can get. this is clearly one of those things where the coverage dictates interest instead of the other way around

This is stupid. This was probably the most concerted effort to take back a single R seat in the House in a decade, and there is still a pretty good chance it fails.

Delusional. The Democrats targeted this open election because there was a splintered Republican field. The strategy would have worked if they had low Republican turnout with votes scattered amongst the candidates.

They managed to get 1% more votes than Hillary in this election, still below 48%. They won't win a runoff and will be doomed.

All of the money and effort, and they still lost!!!! Just like November 2016!!!

Are Nancy Pelosi and Silicon Valley going to spend millions upon millions on every democratic Congressional candidate in 2018?

Dems tried hard but, once again, failed.
