>>Democrats made gains in the House races in 2018 when Rep. Lucy McBath (D) defeated GOP Rep. Karen Handel in the state’s sixth congressional district.
McBath did not defeat Handel. Handel defeated Handel. The only way this senate seat could POSSIBLY go Rat, is for the GOP to hand it to the enemy on a silver platter.
And McBath didn’t even live in the state. But, that district has undergone quite a bit of change over the years, anyway. It has some of the better schools in Georgia, so lots of Northern Democrats have moved down and called that place home. Of course, it’s a fairly affluent area where the rich liberal, Democrats dare not live with the consequences of the policies they so ardently support and push. They make the people of Norcross, Doraville, Lilburn and Lawrenceville deal with all of that.
Agree. Handel, like Barbara Comstock in VA, or Mike Coffman in CO, or the lady who ran for Enema’s seat in AZ were just flat-out bad candidates.
