Price’s opponent in 16 got just shy of 40% of the vote, any democrat in that district should get 40-45% of the vote if its an empty seat... this attempt to hype this into something is just flat out #FAKENEWS

Dem will get 40-45% of the vote, the republicans will split the rest, there willbe a runoff and the Republican will get 55-60% of the vote.... MSM trying to spin this as some “surge” for democrats is just more lies... Just like the “She’s up 10 in PA, or She’s ahead in GA.” Gargage... and him even getting 40-45% of the vote is assuming the polls are accurate and aren’t flagrantly biased like the polls I just mentioned above.

This is a NON STORY! This is all just propaganda and #FAKENEWS

Price’s opponent in 16 got 38.5% of the vote or something like that, that means in an open seat a generic dem should get 40-45% of the vote no matter what... And that’s about what they are saying this guy will get... this isn’t any surge, its just the normal average behavior of this district... of course this 40-45% was before he admitted on TV he doesn’t even live in the district.

However, this is a big old nothingburger either way. Because GA has run off elections when no one gets to 50%, the Dem won’t squeak in because of a fractured Republican field. He’ll get his 40-45%, face a run off against the leading Republican and then lose by 10-15 points if not more. This is a NON STORY for idiots (liberals) who want to believe in a reality that doesn’t exist.

So this guy doesn’t live in the district. Constitution says OK as long as he lives in the state. But how appropriate that a man who runs in this situation is from the party that promotes illegal aliens voting.
