Democrats’ Lessons from Jon Ossoff Loss: Move Left, Forget Civility
Breitbart Big Government ^ | 21 Jun, 2017 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Democrats are concluding that Jon Ossoff’s disappointing loss to Karen Handel in the special election for Georgia’s 6th congressional district on Tuesday means they must move even further left, and reject calls for more civility. That might seem odd, especially in the wake of last week’s shooting attack against Republican members of Congress, and given that Handel won partly by tying Ossoff to the left and to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

But Democrats are convinced that Ossoff fell short by moving towards the center after running as the darling of the “#Resistance” in the primary election in April, and by trying to convince moderate Republicans to cross over.

Go left snowflakes. Go to the bosom of Fauxchahantas.

Bernie's white liberal elites want to be propped up by Hillary's black angry women... LOL - this will end badly - - with the death of the Democrat Party.

They are simply incapable of admitting that they’re wrong about anything because it’s a religion to them. They will keep losing because of it. It’s great.

Psychopaths always blame the other guy for their failure. They double down on their hatred which, of course, creates more failure. The best outcome of all this is a complete mental and emotional breakdown. The worse outcome is life imprisonment or death.
Let us pray for the completee collapse of the Democrat party as the best hope for their followers.

Nooooo. Bite your tongue. Pelosi, Reid, et al, have shown themselves to be the greatest political strategists of the modern age. Keep them right where they are.

My mother lives in the northern reaches of Wyoming and hence had a front row seat on the Montana special election. The Democrat candidate was a total loser. And now down in the GA-6, the Democrats can't even find someone who actually lives in the district to run?

I heard on Rush's show today that Ossoff the Snowflake got fewer votes than the Democrat who ran in November--and spent no money.

I know some people are blaming Nancy Pelosi for all of this losing. But is getting rid of her really going help Democrats if they replace her with another lunatic?
