Erick Erickson? @EWErickson

The candidate who supported @Evan_McMullin is doing better than the candidates who worked for Donald Trump.

This seems illogical. If trump supported are so uneducated, why are they making more money?

A few head to head polls showed Ossoff narrowly beating Handel.

Once people remember who she is, she'll likely go down in support.



Handel will win, and PP and NARAL will waste a shite-ton of money trying to stop her.

Incumbecy is one of the biggest vote boosters in congress, because of name recognition and because you can perform constituent service for people and then brag about it in ads.

How do you think someone like Mary Landreu kept on winning in Louisiana?



Incumbency certainly is a major factor. One I would put under the category of "nuance" the other poster was not very interested in.

But it is like some people are not capable of grasping that there are lots of subtleties that exist, even amongst members of the same team.

The poster wants to chalk everything up to vague appeals to "demographic" shifts, but it doesn't appear to be that simple of an explanation.

Art majors aren't particularly educated or intelligent. Those were the blow off, easy A classes people in STEM majors took to round out their common curriculum requirements.

Erick Erickson @EWErickson Significant to note that among the GOP tonight in GA06, the more closely aligned a candidate was with Trump, the worse said candidate did.

With 100% being reported in Dekalb and Cobb, the lead is 50.3%


16% of Fulton is still only being reported

Looks like the DRCC couldn't pony up enough cash to pay them off and get them out of the race.

God bless them.

We'll see I suppose. I don't know that it says much. The district doesn't like Trump, that clear. Can that be translated elsewhere? Don't know.

Why again does it take so long to count votes? It's 2017 the polls have been closed almost 4 hours
