REPUBLICAN KAREN HANDEL WINS GEORGIA SPECIAL ELECTION, AP PROJECTS

[Cancel 2020.1]

Jobs and the economy never go out style, politically.

The problem for liberal democrats is they want to talk about climate change, free stuff, getting men to piss in the women's room and etc absurdities, instead of putting people back to work. Or when they do talk about putting them to work, they're forced to square the circle of advocating higher taxes to pay for their social programs; or in the case of climate change, advocating energy policy that hits the working class in their pocket books.

That formula just doesn't work outside of the blue precincts. It isn't rocket science.

You're just spouting generalities. Ossoff's campaign didn't focus on ANY of the issues you mentioned above. He ran a centrist campaign for the most part, and spoke mostly about business development.

And you guys are wrong on climate change. While I agreed w/ Trump's decision on Paris, I think you're underestimating how much people who aren't ideological care about the environment.

Basically Democrats can't win even when they avoid the issues. All that money washed away like liberal tears.

I said forever that the Dems shouldn't have spent money there. But they're desperate.

As to the 1st part, I do think the GOP is stupid in general.

You can spin all you want but the democrat party wanted this badly. They don't spend $24 million on a house race to lose by five points.

Losers say they got close. Winners fuck the prom queen

Of course they wanted it badly. Where have I said that they didn't?

I don't disagree that the GOP is dumb but you avoided my question, because the correct answer proves that the Democrat Party is even dumber.

The bolded is hilarious.

Republicans have won that seat for MANY years, by wide margins. There is a reason that Dems haven't put much money there until now. Why they did this time is beyond me, but they're desperate.

"Unmitigated disaster" is pure partisan hackery, though. It sounds like something Pelosi would say.

So your contention is that the democrat party spent $24 million they shouldn't have on a district they couldn't win out of sheer desperation and you DON'T think it's an unmitigated disaster?

Explain please

Handel colluded with the Russians.

Putin colluded with Trump to hack the Georgia election.

In Liberaland this was a huge win for the democrat party

Climate change IS an ideology for the left. Moderates will tend to look at both sides of the issue while the democrats insist the only side of the issue is their side.

I spouted generalities because 'the general problem' for democrats pivots around such issues as climate change where they are utterly inflexible. That's why national/liberal democrats left their rank and file exposed to a populist like Trump.

A marketing whiz like Trump would say democrats have a branding issue. To be blunt, their brand sucks, because they've devoted so much energy on issues that people in large swaths of the country care little about.

In today's mobile NYT Ohio congressman Tim Ryan was going on about that very thing:

Representative Tim Ryan of Ohio, who has been a vocal critic of his party’s overarching political strategy, said Democrats needed to recognize that they were “toxic” in huge parts of the country.

Some democrats get it and Ryan is one of them. He said "the democrats brand is worse than Trump".

I've made a similar claim when I point out that democrats should pay attention to their own polling instead of worrying about Trump's numbers.

I have no idea what Ossoff's campaign focused on.........but I bet the Georgia voters did and we can see how they voted..........

That does make sense, when you think about it. Democrats being less personal responsible and all...

Rain does disproportionately impact the negro as they don't want to get their expensive hair dos wet

It is a well known fact that owning an umbrella is white privilege and the coloreds have limited access to rain repelling equipment.
