“Has Republican Karen Handel made any mis-steps? “
Not huge mis-step to point out, just overall campaign was weak, and defensive because of money poring in from left coast
“Does she cut from the establishment GOP cloth?”
YES
She got more votes in initial election because she was known establishment / GOP supported. other anti-establish type received more votes but split between 4 people so she won.
If one of the others would have won this race would not have been close. There is no conservative excitement for Handel, conservatives would have rallied around one of the other 4.
It’s Like Romney vs Obama 2.
Keep in mind this is Newt’s old district.
“Trump, Pence and Isaacson have all supported Handel.”
Yeah, but has she supported him?
yes she has support Trump from what I read
Has Republican Karen Handel made any mis-steps? Does she cut from the establishment GOP cloth?
Karen Handel was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. She served as deputy chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle's wife, Marilyn.It looks like she had a good start for a GOPe insider background. I still was glad to vote for Karen Handel over the puny socialist Osshole.
Cobb should start reporting in 10 or 15 minutes.
“...”they are “less evil”!
It is hard to believe that people still think they are being profound thinkers with that logic.
You have two choices: vote for the “more evil” if that makes you feel strong, or not vote for the “lesser evil” and let the “evil” assume office.
The woman may be a RINO like Levin says, but if she wins, it will be a defeat for the Democrats and will not allow them to crow about defeating Trump, which is what this is all about.
PLEASE EVERYONE!!! REFRAIN FROM POSTING GRAPHICS!!! IT KILLS THE THREAD RESPONSE!!!
Add fraudulent voters bused or driven in via vans from out of county/state.
who is Cobb?
As Dennis Prager said today, Osloff presents himself as a JFK Democrat but he will vote with Maxine Waters. The same in reverse can be said of Handel.
Cobb county
You know Cobb, he’s a good dude.
Cobb is a county in the district.
I received two Handel emails, recently.
One from her campaign, with NO mention of Trump, MAGA, etc.
Another one from Donald J Trump subject: Georgia with full support for Handel.
Thank you, President Trump for all YOU are doing to MAGA.
*if she wins, it will be a defeat for the Democrats and will not allow them to crow about defeating Trump, which is what this is all about.*
Correct!! If pj boy wins, the it will give the dems a new lease on ugliness and think they have a right to do so.
You make good points, I agree with you but Handel, like Trump, must be put in context. But I am a voter who went from Walker to Rubio to Cruz to Trump; he’s not perfect and I don’t like his Syria policy or the way he has been too slow in replacing the Obamacrats. Nonetheless, Trump brings about 70 percent of what I want to the table which is 69.9 percent more than we would have gotten with Hillary. The only crumb she (and her congressional supporters) would have thrown to conservatives would have been to invite George Will to breakfast once a year. no thanks.
If she wins by less than 5%, they are also prepared to paint that as a close call that somehow also threatens Trump. Then, back to RUSSIA!!!
Ty Cobb....pretty good baseball player...some say..
PJ boi gonna go down hard ...
I think Quayle was not originally GOP-e but couldn’t escape then once he was GHWB’s VP.
