The author neglected to mention that Ossoff received most of his 8 million dollars from New York and California. That doesn’t say much about Georgia’s support for him. Every special election has now become a referendum on Trump and they haven’t won one yet. All they do is lose one after the other and then claim that the next special election is the REAL referendum on Trump. They’re bound to win one at some point but as far as the referendum they are desperately hoping for, not so much.
At some point, these donors will want to see a return on their investment.
RE: The author neglected to mention that Ossoff received most of his 8 million dollars from New York and California.
What really bugs me is this — Why does the amount of money poured in to a candidate matter to voters who know the issues?
Are most people so easily swayed by money poured into political ads that they don’t bother to check the truth for themselves?
And they aren’t going to win one anytime soon, at least not one in any district that isn’t bluer than blue...
A referendum on TRUMP is a LOSS... they tried to turn 16 into that and LOST.... they will keep LOSING... everywhere but the blues of the blue districts....
The ONLY way D’s win a non deep blue district anytime soon is if the folks Trump brought the party begin to feel he isn’t putting america first.... they EVER feel that, they will go back to being disengaged and Dems have a shot outside their strongholds, but as long as the people who Trump brought to the dance feel he is doing what he said (or trying to anyway) and putting america first.... Dems have ZERO shot outside the whacakdoo leftist districts for any sort of win.
That’s the cold hard political reality... not what he NYT is reporting, or the cable news channels... that’s just the cold hard political reality. As long as Trump is doing (or perceived as doing) what he promised to do... Dems have no prayer.. his supporters will keep showing up... and he will keep winning. If however he is EVER perceived as not doing so, they will go back to being disengaged and not show up and then D’s may have a shot.. but at present there is little chance of that.
