than the mainstream media, or social media gives him credit.

The media wants you to think that it is Trump vs the Electorate. . .when it actually appears to be Trump and the Electorate vs. Progressives.

That's because they aren't mainstream they're fake.

He doesn't have a ton of support.

There is just a shite ton of people sitting in the middle going "which side is more insane?"

At least, that's where i am at.

Also..i expect to be downvoted to hell

Trump is a dude you don't bring up much in normal conversation, but someone you run to the polls to vote for. Everyone knows the alternative, so you vote Trump!

This is true. But the Uniparty/establishment/MSM do not want the middle class to take back control.

The MSM said they would get out of Washington, NYC, LA and go into the heartland to see what they missed after the November election. They never did go out there to truly understand the Trump voter, they never criticized themselves and self reflected on where they can improve, and they certainly didn't make changes.

Until the MSM is willing to diversify thought within their organizations and get back to more balanced reporting, the MSM will continue to be proven untrustworthy.

I don't think anyone knows for sure because the news is completely useless.

I think this is very true. The left is completely insane.

Moderate Dems have joined Trump like they did Reagan.

The Dem party has been reduced to: recent immigrants, illegal immigrants, college kids, big city SJWs who get paid to work by protesting, Hollywood-types, NWO, Music stars and people who are or have once been a patient at Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital.

The Dems are now like that fringe behavior party.

But no one watches the news anymore, they all walking around with their phones, and my Facebook has as much conservative pop ups as liberal. There isn't a monopoly as there used to be....

Don't conflate Trump with what got Trump elected.

Sure, there are some people who like Trump who helped Handel get elected.

But in the end, people are sick of liberals running around talking about the hate on the right days after one of their ideological pals tried a mass assassination. They're sick of the media talking about how they're backwards and racist. They're sure as frick tired of people calling them stupid, particularly in a place like the 6th, where the average Handel voter is more successful than the average Ossoff voter.

Those are the things that got Trump elected, and those things helped Handel. But that's different from saying that love for Trump got Handel elected.

And it's funny because I enjoy Trump, and would vote for him with zero issues in the next election as of now. But I understand the people who legitimately dislike Trump.

But seriously...its not just the Dems who are batshit crazy. They just make Republicans look good.

It's ok to be a Trumpkin considering that President Trump is definitely way more conservative and non-interventionist than President Bush ever was capable of being.

Maybe; but the Cook Partisan Voting Index for the 6th district is R+8. Cook Partisan Voting Index

In other words, an R candidate is expected to win by about 16 points. So I don't think you can infer much more about that than the candidates themselves, but it didn't necessarily reflect well for the Rs, although it may be an outlier compared to the next election and irrelevant.

Georgia is not representative of the US in general. It's likely representative of the south, but not all of America.
