HOORAY! We lost again!!!

A reliable source of humor after Democrats lose elections is Vox writer Matthew Yglesias. A month ago Yglesias was celebrating the loss of the democrat in the Montana special congressional election by declaring his loss to really mean a win for democrats. Yglesias continued mining this political comedy vein by declaring that the loss of Jon Ossoff in the George 6th Congressional District special election, after the party blew over $30 million on his campaign, really means that the "Republicans are in trouble."

As Napoleon said right after Waterloo — “Now I have the British right where I want them!”

As Hitler said as his troops retreated from Stalingrad — “Those Russians are in trouble now!”

If you tell a lie enough times, you will believe it.

The only thing saving "our" inept to the point of being criminal Repbulican DC swampthings is that the dems have gone full-tilt insane. They STILL aren't blaming themselves for ordaining someone who didn't live in the district. "Carbetbagger" doesn't sit real well with southerners.

And all of those Hollywood know-it-alls "helping"? Republicans thank you. That worked as well as when hillary brought LeBron, JayZ, and Beyoncé to rallies in Cleveland to tell folks in NE OH how to vote.

The biggest challenge we face now is convincing DC 'pubs they actually have to govern. They've just won four HOR elections while being part of the problem.

From the song "Blood on the Coal" and the mocumentary movie A Mighty Wind.

It’s hilarious they try to equate a “close loss” vs a no name non-incumbent Republican running against a Democrat getting national media attention 24/7 and 20-40x more donations than they would otherwise get compared to what will occur in 2018 - which is a Republican incumbent with name recognition, money, etc running a no-body Democrat with a million bucks to spend in total.

Marsha M. on Fox News “The Story” last night was saying that since Tom Price won by so much more than Handel, it was not good for Republicans.

She does not understand that special elections do not represent standard ones and that an incumbent has a huge % advantage over a non-incumbent regardless of party.

"Republicans are in trouble."

Libs just crack me up. This guy fails to see the irony and revels in his ignorance.

...a no name non-incumbent Republican...

A minor nit to pick: Hadn't Ms. Handel previously served in Georgia's state government? While she was certainly a non-incumbent, she wasn't a no-name candidate.

Jon Ossoff, "Handel is not my congresswoman!"

True, true. You live in a different congressional district, Ossoff.
