Republicans pray for rain – because inclement weather depresses voter turnout which always helps the GOP. But it is more likely that this is a right-leaning district (which should have seen a republican blow-out, not such a close race) and Ossoff being linked to Pelosi, which doesn’t play well in red states.
In a district that has been heavily Republican since Carter, the G.O.P. winning by only 3% points IS a referendum on Drumpf. He’s helping the party hemorrhage support faster then they were before.
It was good news for both sides. A win is a win for the Republicans, the point spread shrank dramatically for the Democrats in a district the Republicans should have cakewalked through. I think it’s due to the leadership of the Republicans. It’s more obvious they’re the party of the rich by screwing everybody else. And then there’s the guy at the top…
Maybe the Hollyweird types should have stayed in Hollyweird.Dems keep wondering why they keep losing.It is the party’s message.It is the party’s constant resist Trump stuff.The party seems not to give a wit what is good for the country,only what is good for the party.
Tax the rich actually means tax anyone with a job so democrat voters won’t have to go get a job themselves.Free,free,free,everyone else pays for me.If not it sure seems that way to those of us who actually pay taxes. While dems want more and more to give away to the seemingly lazy,useless,or the uneducated who dropped out of school.Poor job and career training decisions are not the fault of rest of us.Nor should we have to support for those who make those decisions.

With Republicans “losing” 40,000 voter registrations and turning away another 30,000 the result was inevitable. Fraud.

After they lost, the biggest referendum on Trump since November became “What election?” to the fakestream media.
