In a parallel universe called NPR last night, they considered what happened a huge victory for Democrats and that Republicans need to be very worried. They ignored that this is not exactly a republican stronghold any more, though Trump did win it, barely. And they put a postitive spin on all the money he spent.
One interesting thing they mentioned, ignoring it’s implications, is that this “prooves” that democrats can fight for “victory” even where they would not have in the past.
iow, they think Democrats have unlimited funds, because that is what their idea would take.
Why do my tax dollars go to pay for NPR ?
It not a purple district at all. They are totally ignoring the vote totals for the GOP senator from this district in Nov 2016 for GOP Senator Johnny Issacson.
What happened to this district is a lot of Never Trumpers in this GOP-E district went and voted GOP in Nov 2016 but did not vote for Trump
This is a pretty common result in GA politics. Democrat “star” candidate, wildly hyped by the fake media, does ok against a widely split GOP field then gets beat in the run off when going head to head against the GOP.
Well, that is how they run government...
“Republicans need to be very worried.”
I think the Republicans would do well to be very careful. Their situation is tenuous at best and they could easily blow the opportunity that Donald Trump has given them.
