Elections: It has been amusing to watch Democrats twist themselves into pretzels trying to explain away their loss in the special election in Georgia, after spending months promising it would be a referendum on President Trump. Will the party learn anything from this costly mistake?
Democrats convinced themselves that neophyte politician Jon Ossoff had a chance to win in Georgia's 6th District, which would have seriously hampered Trump's agenda, and so they dumped an unbelievable amount of money into the race nearly enough to buy every Ossoff voter an Apple Watch.
But instead of proving how unpopular Trump is, Democrats managed only to show why the public is right to hold establishment "experts" in such disdain.
For months the pundits, media experts, Democrats and never-Trump Republicans declared that the race was neck-and-neck, and that the mere fact that Ossoff was competitive in a supposedly deep-red district was a huge indicator of the anti-Trump wave sweeping the country. The media showered Ossoff with positive press. Money and celebrity endorsements poured in from around the country. Almost every poll showed Ossoff winning the election.
It's hard to see how the "experts" could have been more wrong.

It was eventually going to happen. The DNC is going to move further left.
“Stretch” is bulletproof and going nowhere (female, Communist, 1%er).
Please!
YEP!
"Will they finally recognize that many in the heartland see Democrats as out-of-touch coastal elitists in the Nancy Pelosi mold? Or that they will need to offer up actual proposals to get the country moving again?"
RATS??? YOU KIDDING? NO WAY!
FAKE face, FAKE party, FAKE news.
No. Keep Nancy! She’s like a bad coach for the other team. They might replace her with someone competent. SEC fans think Florida prior to Steve Spurrier and how they’ve been since.
We need to start a #keepNancy on Twitter.
Lieberal Dems won’t replace Nanners. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results. Dems are lunatics supreme therefore old Nanner remains their banner.
C.E.D. = Coastal Elitist Democrats.
“Part of the Resistance” = Resistance to Democracy
S.A.D. = Socialist Agenda Democrat
That senile moronic bitch should get even the lefties to support TERM LIMITS!
Be great if Pelosi goes down but she has very little to do with their losses. The majority of people have had enough of their lying, leftist crap and they will continue to lose because they are unable to give it up.
Enter the cannibals
Nasty Pelosi is all washed up.
dump pelousy and switch to maxine waters
Things you never want to see in a sentence.
I say they should keep her as minority leader, make it a life position, and put all democrat elections under her command. Let her pick the candidates.
Ossoff will be producing a music video to accompany the time-lapse documentary on Nancy Pelosi’s face.
Stretch Pelosi
Yes, Auntie Maxine needs more exposure.
