No no, they can’t do that.

You have to go back to what was being said before the election. You can’t just ignore what was said.

Before the election, we were told that this was a referendum on Trump, and a referendum on Republicans in general terms, regarding Republican control of the House.

We were told that the criteria were : if Ossoff won, it would be a repudiation of Trump, and an indication that the Republicans would likely lose the House in the 2018 mid term elections.

So then, since Handel won, this should be described as a confirmation that Trump still has support, and that the GOP is likely to retain control of the House in 2018.

You can’t just change the criteria of what they said the election was all about,because of this result.

If it was a referendum on Trump, it’s still a referendum on Trump, even though the Democrat didn’t win it.

But in being a referendum on Trump, we would have to say that Trump “won” and this confirms he still has strong support.

CNN can’t just change the narrative because the result wasn’t to their liking.

Every once in a while I watch the left scream media to see what pravda has to say. They were chanting about how the Georgia race was a referendum on Trump, all about Trump, etc on and on. If the Dems would have won, this would be non stop anti Trump news up until Sunday morning. Since Trump/GOP won........crickets. WINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!

CNN is arrogant enough to think they wield so much power that they CAN change the narrative. They are slowly finding out (but they aren’t willing to accept) that the American people are fed up with their fake news and no longer believe the crap they are selling.

You must not have paid much attention to dems/leftists over the years. That's one of their most basic strategies.

Except they will. Their arrogance in believing they’re so much smarter that everyone else and that we’ve the attention span of a house fly makes them believe they can do just that. They’ll probably be saying that “it was expected to be a wider loss”.

You have got to be kidding! That is standard CNN modus operandi. What do you think the purpose of the memory hole is?

"....You can’t just change the criteria of what they said the election was all about, because of this result....."

The democRATS and their water-carrying media (CNN) change the rules to the card game after the cards are dealt all the time.

Changing their call for an investigation into Trump colluding with Russia to call for an investigation of Trump for obstructing justice, when the colluding deal didn't pan out, is a perfect example.

The liberals have no moral compass to guide them. It's more like throwing darts or pinning the tail on the donkey. It's all the luck of the draw.

They can take credit for or blame the opposition for the same incident, depending on the narrative they are pushing at any point in time.
