This record turnout seems to indicate dissatisfaction with the Trump presidency, and could portend a 2018 wave


Yeah, about that. See 2016 election.

I actually think it's extremely sad that this election lies the entire hope of the Democratic Party. What once was a great party is indeed no more.


They howl about election influence as big city, out of state Dems pumped 23 million into Ossof's coffers.

And the other elections that have happened in the last month have said... what?


That Republicans are underperforming the 2016 election (in special elections, which they should over perform!) by about 12 points on average.

Not a good sign for the GOP.

What are Republicans so scared of, that they have to spend that money to save Newt Gingrich's seat?!

Special elections don't usually illicit a huge turnout as it is, so if everyone were so upset with Trump and wanting to get rid of him and anyone associated with him, you'd expect wins for Democrats rather than "underperforming" by Republicans that are leading to wins for Republicans.

GOP is winning in an off-year so far. What you are seeing is typical voting patterns rather than some rejection of the current administration.

You are grasping at straws and I wonder what you would do if the guy with the best chance to beat a Republican this year doesn't win? Are you going to cling to some moral victory?

And still losing.

Is your goal to stick it to Trump by having your loser candidates do better than expected while still losing?

Nah... The Democrats are in the worst position that they have been nationally in approx. 100 years.. 100 years!! Let that sink in...

Why do you think that is with the MSM in the democrat corner pushing their narrative 24/7?

So ready for tomorrow to hurry up and pass. Every fricking radio ad on every Atlanta station is Handel or Ossoff.

You weren't aware 2016 had record early voting, which was the point the OP was making, or you're just not smart enough to keep up with the discussion?

Oasoff is a different sort of Democrat. In Georgia politics he can be compared with Sam Nunn, or even Zell Miller! He's FAR removed from the Pelosi/ Pocahontas wing of the party.

You realize Ossoff is going to get beat right? After pumping ten of millions of out of state dumb gullible democrat dollars into this election his dumb arse is going to get beat by a lifelong wanna be hanger on less accomplished (R) version of Hillary Clinton.

Then what will you hang your hat on? Impeachment?

I've spoken to both of them in person. Handel is more the liar, and is a poor one at that.

Much like Trump.
