Good Wednesday morning and happy first day of summer. THE FACTS -- KAREN HANDEL quite easily beat JON OSSOFF in Georgia. House Republicans are now 4-0 in contested special elections since PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP won the presidency. That means Democrats have failed -- despite millions of dollars in spending -- to win a single race with a president who has a record low approval rating. Democrats are even further from the majority than they thought. Let’s be clear: something ain’t working for Democrats, party insiders privately tell us. The Ossoff race galvanized national donors and activists in a way that led many to believe House Democrats were en route to wresting control of the chamber from Republicans. That’s not how they feel this morning. Caveat: this is a Republican seat. Being close is nice. But after six years in the minority, that’s about all it is.
-- REP. SETH MOULTON (D-MASS.) (@sethmoulton): “#Ossof Race better be a wakeup call for Democrats - business as usual isn’t working. Time to stop rehashing 2016 and talk about the future.” … “We need a genuinely new message, a serious jobs plan that reaches all Americans, and a bigger tent not a smaller one. Focus on the future”.
-- THE DCCC is holding a Georgia-6 debrief and consultant call at 1 p.m. today.
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN STEVE STIVERS (R-OHIO), the guy that some Republicans were sniping at a month ago, has run through the tape in Montana, South Carolina, Georgia and Kansas with four victories.

I thought the Dems picked a very vulnerable candidate:
He isn’t married-—he lives with his GIRLFRIEND.....
which many not mean much if he is your local metro bus driver-—but this is a ‘politician’ in Georgia !!! Not smart, IMO. Offensive to many people.
OH-—AND-—He doesn’t even LIVE INSIDE the District he thinks he wants to ‘represent’.
I thought that was a basic entry level question——DO YOU LIVE IN THIS DISTRICT????
IF NOT—he should NEVER be eligible.!! Does the Democrat Party think they can cheat at every turn??
Ossoff said something to the effect: “This is the start of something big”...
IMO, it sure is-—there ill be more & more Dems who get defeated all across America in future elections.
The arrogance of the Dems & their candidate who doesn’t even live in the District is amazing.
“Actually 5-0”
Kansas
Montana
Georgia
South Carolina
what is the 5th?
I saw a Post here yesterday saying Allen West didn’t live in his District.
That being said, it should be a requirement that they do live in the same District they want to represent.
The Dems have no message and no agenda. The only thing keeping them alive is the MSM.
And the inept GOPe.
