Why would somebody “so Leftist” get as much support as he is getting, if it’s in a Very Republican Congressional District? I, already, know that his campaign is running ads 24/7, but is he campaigning as a Conservative, too? I don’t get it! In Massachusetts, at the highest levels of political office, anybody with an “R” next to their name is, immediately and usually, rejected, even if they are Leftist Republicans, during each and every election! Try running an actual Conservative Republican for ANY Massachusetts Congressional Seat, even if they are given a ton of ad time and a ton of money. They would, still, lose and lose badly, in Massachusetts.
I’m in this district. The GOP was silent for weeks while Ossoff campaigned 24x7. They allowed him to paint a false narrative without a rebuttal. He claimed to be tough on terror, fiscally conservative and cooperarative with all parties. He lied about being a National Security Advisor. When GOP decided to start campaigning, they mostly directed negative ads against each other- ceding one of the two top spots to him. It was known months ago he didn’t live in the district. I saw only one commercial mentioning it. Bob Grey was going door to door last night in my neighborhood and I let him know I’d already voted but I’d support anyone in the runoff that wasn’t named Ossoff.
Good news is no one sees Ossoff getting 50 +1 so we may have dodged a bullet.
Oh he is ABSOLUTELY running AWAY from being identified as a democrat is any shape, gender, or form or race.
(It took until today that he actually admitted being being a democrat at all.)
He is RUNNING as being a pro-military, anti-waste, budget-cutting, apparently conservative or libertarian, anti-Washington reformer.
Because he is the one lone valid Democrat against 14 republicans. Also, Trump won the district by only 1.5 points over The Beast, while Romney won it by 23 points. So, the thinking is that Trump is not very popular in this district and the press is going wild thinking Ossoff may attract republican voters as a protest vote against Trump.
