re: I am no Trumpkin, but after this you can't deny that he has faaaar more support

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.
