    Default GOP VICTORY LAP after Handel win GOP now 4-0 in contested specials since Trump won

    Good Wednesday morning and happy first day of summer. THE FACTS -- KAREN HANDEL quite easily beat JON OSSOFF in Georgia. House Republicans are now 4-0 in contested special elections since PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP won the presidency. That means Democrats have failed -- despite millions of dollars in spending -- to win a single race with a president who has a record low approval rating. Democrats are even further from the majority than they thought. Let’s be clear: something ain’t working for Democrats, party insiders privately tell us. The Ossoff race galvanized national donors and activists in a way that led many to believe House Democrats were en route to wresting control of the chamber from Republicans. That’s not how they feel this morning. Caveat: this is a Republican seat. Being close is nice. But after six years in the minority, that’s about all it is.

    Yeah, it's like getting giddy over the Globetrotters beating the Generals

    We have had five special House elections, all in ruby red Republican districts, and each one of them has been competitive for the first time in decades. When a Democrat can run a close race in the likes of Kansas and South Carolona its got to make those forty or so Republican House members in purple districts stand up and notice

    And the President still has a year and half to further gum up the works and drag the party down further

    As I noted, those House Republicans from purple districts aren't seeing the results in the same light as you and talk radio, they have to confront the reality of the situation, the President is dragging their party down

    Love your enthusiasm precious. Keep running far left George Soros candidates.

    Let's see $24 million for every house race means they will need to raise $8.7 billion for 2018. Get cracking

    The way you idiots keep blathering on about 64% disapproval ratings, or some shit like that, one would have to believe that Trump can't win ANYWHERE.

    Of course, real Americans would never buy into that kind of bullshit, so it's best to ignore assholes like you and just keep on reporting the successes.

    So if there was fifty million spent, and the Democrats spent twenty four million, who spent the other twenty six million? In a district that they have won easily for the past fifty years, can't imagine what a purple district is going to cost the Koch brothers

    That's funny cause you ain't winning, just the opposite, you got a President, under who umpteen investigations, who can't even get his own party to pass his agenda in a Congress they completely control, I don't think you have to have a PHD in civics to understand that ain't winning

    If he has a 64% disapproval rating as you even cited it sure looks like a whole lot of real Americans are buying it, and they don't see it as "bullshit"

    As I said, and you don't seem to comprehend, there are a whole lot of purple State Republicans out there right now not sitting too comfortably given the results of the last five special elections, if you can come close in Kansas and South Carolina in ruby red districts you can do more than close in toss up spots

    But the Generals never ever ever got close, and it they did, the Globetrotters would have to change the script
