The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | June 20, 2017 | Greg Bluestein

Republican Karen Handel staved off a furious challenge from Democrat Jon Ossoff on Tuesday in a race to represent a suburban Atlanta seat in Congress, as the GOP and President Donald Trump avoided an embarrassing defeat in the most expensive U.S. House contest in history.

A former Georgia secretary of state, Handel emphasized her experience and roots in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District to defeat Ossoff and keep a seat that’s long been held by Republicans in GOP hands. She becomes Georgia’s first female Republican member of the U.S. House.....

I don’t believe you are accurately describing Handel’s views.

A substantial amount of Black democrats live in that district. Lots of walking around money was spent to get them to the polls. YET, they still LOST.

So don’t sweat it. In fact, take joy in the fact they thought they could win, spent like drunk sailors, and still lost ALL of these elections!

So, according to the MSM, Handel barely squeaked out a win, and the DEMs made headway compared to the general election. Handel won by 5+%, while Trump won the district over Hillary by 1.5%. How can they make these misleading statements and not get struck down by lightning?

It is fun to watch, admit it. There’s a place for schadenfreude in everyone’s life.

Also, did you notice how far off the polls were? She won by 5, yet the RCP average was a tie.

Keep up the lying and the bogus “investigations”, Democrats.

Please. More of the country is waking up to the fact that most of you are pathological liars; just like Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama.

“We need to learn from the Republicans. They stick to their beliefs,”

He’s wrong. The Dims stick to their beliefs too. They don’t realize yet that those beliefs damage the country.

I’m going to guess all the hysterical resist stuff really GOTV for the GOP here. Especially the Trump “beheading” and “Shakespeare” nonsense. Dems just can’t help themselves. Too bad. LOL.

A comment tonight at Daily Kos:


More like a comment from the twilight zone. The beltway GOP has not been this fractured from it’s base in my lifetime.

AJC is so dishonest...their own polling trumpeted Ossoff’s ahead by seven. The lede should say remarkable come back for Karen Handle who obviously had a better ground game
