SANDY SPRINGS, Georgia Republican Karen Handel has won the special congressional election in Georgia, fending off a strong challenge from Democrat Jon Ossoff in the heavily Republican House district, according to a projection by NBC News.
Handels victory in the closely fought contest, which drew national interest and was the most expensive House race ever at over $40 million, comes as good news for President Donald Trump. Democrats had promoted the contest as a referendum on the president.
Rarely, if ever, has a single congressional race attracted this much attention or been freighted with so much meaning.

Looks like Ossoff’s vote wouldn’t have made a difference.

NSA TRANSCRIPT——CHUCK SCHUMER ON THE PHONE w/ DNC’S TOM PEREZ:
SCHUMER: “For crissake, Perez.....Ossoff is running around Georgia talking w/ a New England accent.”
PEREZ: “Elijah Cummings said Ossoff is another JFK......we had to do something.”
SCHUMER: “Those cotton-pickin’ black boys dont know s**t from Shinola. And this front-page picture of Ossoff ordering clam chowder in a Georgia tea room. Georgia is owhere near the ocean. why cant Ossoff order Peach Cobbler like every other southerner?”
PEREZ: “Chuck, I cant help it if the media did not publish Ossoff’s Cuber policy.”
SCHUMER: “Cuber Policy my Aunt Tilly. Ossoff loses and I’m gonna wrap your *** like a burrito and send you back to Mexico, you mush-mouthed latino loser.”

Not a surprise Handel won. Why? Because most of us don’t believe the BS
Why are CNN news heads acting the way they do? Because they believe their own BS

Republicans, especially the GOPe and the never-Trumpers, better wise up quickly. Donald J. Trump is holding their party together pretty much single-handedly. If I were he, I would wonder why I am putting so much effort into people that hate me.
