When the full returns are counted, Republicans here will have to ask themselves why the race was so close in a community that Mitt Romney won by 23 points in 2012, and also what Handel did right to keep her own fortunes separate and apart from Donald Trump’s Tweet storms.
But Democrats will have more soul searching to do. They are now zero-for-four in special elections since Trump became the president and need to understand why.
They’ll be quick to say the Ossoff race never should have been so close, which is true. And that Ossoff won in a sense just by being competitive in an R+10 district, which is sort of true.
But after $23 million, a candidate who genuinely ignited the grassroots, and a Republican president who may or may not be (but probably is) under FBI investigation and can’t stop talking about it, the real question Democrats need to answer is: What’s it going to take to win an election in the era of Trump?
As of Tuesday night, they still have no idea.

I’m not tired of winning
Maybe the Dems don’t really want to “make Trump furious”?
Sure they do! GO MORE LEFT! GO MORE LIBERAL! PUT MAXINE WATERS ON TV 24/7!...............................
Seeing wrongs is the only thing which makes Trump furious.
The liberals have no clue as to what those things are.
I read the Trump won the district by 2% - how does that translate to a R+10 district?
$23M? I have seen numerous reports of $50M, with most putting Ossoff as spending $40M.
Laughing my Ossoff!

The demos are bankrupt on solutions. All they do is whine and have hissy fits.
How many bills has Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi put before congress over the last year that could help the American people? They are the party of nothing.
Sean Spicer said Trump won that district by 1 point.
This is REALLY bad news for Elizabeth Warren!! Hollywood money has fueled her campaigns, but she is just a shrill BIG NOTHING in the Senate!
She needs to be replaced in 2018!!!!
I’m glad they spent all that money in their hatred for Trump, and lost. Now they will be even more bitter and vindictive.
A mirror will greatly help in this process for many of them (unless they do not reflect in a mirror).
nah. it shows
MATH IS DEAD AND DATA IS BROKEN!
Trump did lousy compared to Tom Price.
And the Republicans need to be sure they don’t get “cocky” over this win and screw up.
Woops... 2012?
In 2016, Trump won the district by 1.5.
In 2017, Handel won the district by 5.6
Why would they omit that?
Is this piece an artifact/evidence of how and why the media is perceived as dishonest?
That was because there are many Prissy Cucks in the district that get scared when someone wants to end illegal immigration.
