Bernie Sanders was never a Democrat, except for the brief convenience of running for their 2016 Presidential nomination. He has always been some variety of socialist independent commie, and he announced after the 2016 campaign that he would resume being registered as an Independent.

I actually have some sympathy for the Democraps in this one respect, that Sanders is NOT of their party but was able to hijack their nominating process for a while.

Ofc Trump is not exactly a Republican, and took over their party, but that is for the better!! heh heh....

I just hope this result is enough to knock that self satisfied smirk off of Trevor Noah’s face, but somehow I doubt nothing can.

Democrats rely on identity politics on the erroneous belief that is a winning strategy. This strategy is based on the concept divide to conquer. What they fail to understand is that strategy only is valid when applied to your opponent and not to your base.

Democrats hoped that five months of a chaotic Trump administration would galvanize their voters to turn out,

...and so did their utmost to inject chaos into those 5 months.

Ditto. Maybe they were just expecting blue collar types to fall inline. They did fall inline for Obama in 08 and 12.

“Democrats have found comfort in several of their losses in open seat House elections this year, because the candidates they’ve put up came far closer to winning than Hillary Clinton did in those districts.”

I think the Democrats are chasing a mirage, seeing what they want to see. Trump was not the type of Republican who was going to do well in Georgia — that is to say, he was a non-military, moderate northeast Republican. The Democrats think that running a strong race is evidence of dissatisfaction with Trump when the telling thing was that despite gobs of money thrown into that district race they couldn’t capitalize on it.

It doesn’t look like there’s a furious national backlash over the Republican health care bill — not yet, at least.

And why would there be? Obamacare isn't Social Security, unlike Social Security where virtually everybody has some skin in the game, only 15% of the public qualify for Obamacare and only about half of that number are actually participating. So essentially 85% don't really care one way or the other if Obamacare goes, stays, is replaced by the Republican plan, or something in between.

The FNC reporter embedded at Handel’s election central said her numbers rose dramatically after the shooting. I don’t think it was from sympathy. More like because all voters are sick of the unhinged left. Of course, that’s just my opinion; I could be wrong.

“Since Trump’s victory, there’s been a debate among Democrats about whether the party’s best chances for retaking power lie in improving their performance in areas full of educated, well-off white suburbanites, or whether the party is better off making a case to the white working class.”

The Dem dilemma is how either strategy plays with the non-white low-information voters; they basically have to talk out of both sides of their mouths to sucker ANY whites into voting for them while placating the unassimilated malcontents of various colors.

Looks like an out-of-state candidate, trying to win with out-of-state money has quite a hurdle to overcome. Congratulations to the good People of GA for not allowing that to happen.
