Trying not to be overly optimistic---but it seems that after Georgia, the blue wave has morphed into a tsunami.

KELLYANNE CONWAY PRAISED DEMOCRATS: “Thanks to everyone who snarkily proclaimed Ga/6th as a referendum on Donald Trump. You were right

=================================================

THE GRUESOME DETAILS FROM THE DAILY BEAST--the combined efforts of the Ossoff campaign, the DNC, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee help build a monster operation unprecedented in Georgia Democratic politics. By the end of the race, they had knocked on more than 500,000 doors, hired 100 staffers, recruited 12,000 active volunteers and spent more than $11 million on ads on everything from the Today Show to Korean newspapers and gospel stations.

After $23 million, a candidate who genuinely ignited the grassroots, and a Republican president who may or may not be (but probably is) under FBI investigation and can’t stop talking about it, the real question Democrats need to answer is: What’s it going to take to win an election in the era of Trump? As of Tuesday night, they still have no idea.

The Ossoff model is to be a democrat but run on a RINO platform.

“Candidates will have to carefully calibrate their messaging to make sure they are able to win the primary without alienating general-election voters.”

In other words they need to manufacture just the right lie to bamboozle the voters.

Thanks for posting. They were so sure they had it in the bag. The voters thought otherwise.

Wasn’t there another article on how 80% of Ossoff’s funding ($) were from big Kali liberals?

Democrats have discovered something unexpected in Jon Ossoff . . . Now they just need to try and replicate it . . .

I agree 100%. I would love to see them replicate this in all competitive districts. We cannot get too overconfident, but we should feel a little bit good that with effort and vigilance we can give America a chance.

Progs live in a sheltered world believing their little enclave to be the whole wide world. They are always shocked when Deplorables shut them down.

From the black sounding imbeciles hooting and hollering at his concession speech, you would have thought this carpetbagging douchebag won.

Perhaps to their small brains, he did.

That’s true. What’s really amazing, though, is that they believe their own wildly biased polls. Bill Mitchell does a great job of exposing the fraud that’s cooked into the polls. One used a +10 Democrat sample. Another used a +13 Dem sample.

As if that weren’t enough, the pollsters are skewing the sample yet another way. Mitchell discovered one used a 15% ‘strong Democrat,’ vs a 7% ‘strong Republican.’ All this to make Trump’s support look weak.

Using fraudulent polls for PR/propaganda purposes is one thing. But to then use those same polls to prove Trump’s support is in fact weak is insane. These are not the brightest bulbs.

The fresh-faced House candidate

I doubt they could have run a more wimpy looking candidate if they tried
