Did you hear his remarks last evening, about how his loss was an epic victory in the political history of the USA!!! This guy Ossoff is both nutcase and fruitcase combined!!! The Democrat Party continues to self-destroy itself, with every move it makes!!!

Democrats, when your radical Leftist candidate, spends $10,000,000 trying to lie he is a Moderate Republican style candidate, you have all ready lost the debate.

Really stupid tactics by the Dems. Spent $10,000,000 desperately trying to win a meaningless PR stunt that would of been utterly meaningless to everyone outside the DC beltway fake media machine.

Ya gotta laugh at the African-Americans that keep voting Democrat. Obama/Clinton, The Congressional Black Caucus, The NAACP, and most of all ex-POTUS, Obama has screwed them royally for the last eight years on every front you can possibly imagine. Poor folks must be smoking too much reefer or, not hitting on all eight cylinders....Go Figure!!!

Trump underpefromed because it is a GOP Establishment district. I use to live there.

The Never Trumpers did succeed in getting traditional GOP voters to not vote for Trump. The GOP candidate for Senate won this district easily. So a lot of GOP voters in this area did vote, just not for Trump.

Saw the same thing happen in FL, NC and other state. GOP strong holds voted solid for the GOP Senator but did NOT vote as strongly for Trump. Never Trump mnvoment DID have an impact on the GOP Establishment voters.

We will not be voting for ANY Republican incumbent again.

Which is the same idiot mindset that gave you 8 years of Obama. However, doubt you have very voted for any GOP canidate in the past. Your sort of Democrat party stooge pretending to be "pissed off GOP voters" is a old tactic the Dem pr machine has been repeatedly trying to play since the 1990s. It is obvious and sad. Dems, if you have to lie about who you really are, you have all ready lost the debate.

Nope because you need to look at the voting history of the district. He, with $10,000,000 spent on an off year election, got all the Dem vote while 11 Rep broke up the GOP vote. Now the GOP vote will be for 1 candidate and that one GOP candidate will be only running against the Dem. Not against all the other GOP candidate.

This happens a lot in GA. The Dem “star” runs against a crowded GOP field, does well. and then loses the run off.

In the dozen years that we've been in GreenAcres, we have observed this standard operating procedure played out multiple times. The AJC and video media never fail to disappoint in their daily, breathless recitations of "polls" showing the D waaaay ahead.

Somehow and mysteriously the election never turns out the way they manipulate. Even in the Keynesian's two wins, despite the manufactured media/dem polling, GA remained a solid red state.

I do not see anywhere where you can only vote in the election if you voted in the primary.

You can only vote in the runoff if you voted in the General Primary.

Maybe somewhere else, but not true for GA. You may be confusing that with pure Primary elections that are controlled by the parties when they go to a runoff.

If you are not voting for any Republican incumbent, who will you vote for?

>>This seat is totally retainable, but will take a combined effort before June 8.

Everyone I’ve talked to and heard from, including several of the top candidates, agrees on the necessity of strongly supporting the Republican candidate in the runoff.

I would suppose with such a large field, the Republican vote was very fractured. Since he got 48.5%, the pubbies had 51.5%

So I am hoping that now that the confusion in the field os over, the district will vote Republican.

At least I hope so...

But the pubbie Congress had better get its collective a— in gear and give Trump some decent legislation to sign....excuses ain’t gonna fly...

Yes, Ossoff has been groomed to serve the socialist democrat party in whatever capacity is useful to them. Bill Clinton has a similar higher education background and additionally he had political training from early life in working with his democrat uncle and other democrat political leaders in Arkansas. Obama was born into the socialist, communist filth and received his early indoctrination and training from anti American sources in foreign countries and then from American home grown traitors. There is a reason he is messed up. No mitigating circumstances I can see for the democrat party machine chosen candidates as a whole. America First is not their first, if even on the radar, priority.
