Georgia special election hurtles toward nail-biting finish

[Formerly Once-Ler]

My Lord!  It's like a precious painting.
It's beautiful.

In light of the anguish of the Lame Stream Media, I am forced to concede whatever point I was trying to make...I feel discombobulated with the joy of schadenfreude

Thank you President Trump for making this moment happen.

Looking forward to the end of Obamacare, an end to the daily sacrifice to Satan of the unborn, and some working class tax cuts.

In all seriousness...it is a really nice screenshot RiV.  It put a smile on my face, so thank you for sharing it.

Republican wins South Carolina special election
Politico, Jun 20, 2017

Republican Ralph Norman has won South Carolina’s special House election to replace Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney in Congress.

Norman defeated Democrat Archie Parnell in a closer than expected race for South Carolina’s 5th Distrct on Tuesday night. Norman had 52 percent of the vote to Parnell’s 48 percent when the Associated Press called the race with 89 percent of precincts reporting.

***
Norman, a conservative hardliner in the state legislature who won a primary runoff against a more moderate opponent with the help of the Club for Growth, has said he would join the House Freedom Caucus if elected.

You're welcome .... even though I can't take credit for it.   ^-^

He didn't even live in the state did he???

Not sure, but even more stupid if true.

[Frank Cannon]

Some nail biter. This turned out just like everyone outside of DC thought it would. A GOPer won a GOP seat.

[Hoodat]

Truly. THE very worst, most fundamental mistake you can make in politics is to not live in the district you're running in.

Even worse, he was living at his girlfriend's who was a student.  Didn't even have his own place.  Nor did he have the decency to propose after seven years.

Not sure, but even more stupid if true.

Apparently he does in live in Georgia. My mistake.

[Hoodat]

Yes, he was shacking up an Emory student northwest of Decatur.

So their great white hope was some shiftless poseur? I am now truly astounded at how media hype can transform someone that sketchy to a juggernaut candidate that's going to roll over the Republicans.

[Emjay]

So .. you prefer a loss and a waste of the money spent?  Fascinating.   

"Mr. Ossoff’s defeat will likely prompt soul-searching among Democrats about what it will take to flip Republican-held seats in the 2018 midterm fight for control of the House, given that such a vast effort in Georgia fell short. More than $31 million was poured into the Ossoff campaign by donors and outside groups."

THEY spent the most money and made the biggest effort according to our Georgia expert. 

[Emjay]

Me, too!   

@Bigun

Me, three.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

People like me, who share my brain. I give it to Trump worse than anybody here. But I'd never actually cross over to vote Democrat and am smart enough to recognize that Trump, right or wrong, is distinct from most GOP.

Another illustration of how empty the Dem's bullpen is.  They desperately wanted to win this ... spent a boatload of money but selected this empty suit, teen size.

Quickest way to find a Feeb in the wild is go to a Kluxxer,Klan,or militia meeting.

They're pretty easy to find, even in just a gunowner's (shooting) club. They are usually the one(s) in the room shouting (loudest) to blow things up, or raid an armory or burn something down or something like that. The more Felonies that can be attached to even talking about it (Conspiracy to...) the more likely they are either Federal Agents or absolute idiots, and either way, they are people you want to discourage from that sort of rhetoric. If they persist, it may be time to get out of there. Nowadays you never know who is taping whom, and you might not want your face in the video.

Both candidates that won tonight ran on the Trump agenda and had his endorsement.

[sneakypete]

I think Jeb would've gotten more done than Trump that's for sure.

@Weird Tolkienish Figure

Yeah,it would have been hard to tell that Bubbette! hadn't won.

Yeah,you should stop sharing it while you are still able to remember to breathe.

Haha better than being a fake tough guy like you.

I don't see Handell at as "running on the Trump agenda". As for endorsement, meh.

Well as of this writing, your favored Presidential candidate who didn't win one state in the primary is sitting at home speaking Spanish with his wife while Donny is getting GOPers elected and having the Rats to spin off the rails.

Handell is for lower taxes, the wall, defunding PP, repealing and replacing ObamaCare ....

I guess you missed the part where the crowd broke out in a sustained chant of "Trump! Trump! Trump!" when she thanked the President for his support during her victory speech.  Methinks that strong support meant a lot more than "meh" to the voters in the 6th District of Georgia.

Great. What is going on with Trump lately btw? What has him and the GOP passed? More EO's that will be overturned next time a Dem is elected? I voted for Trump to save the USSC. Be nice to have anything resembling a GOP agenda.

Wee little frankie is too excited by the glitz of winning a barely relevant election in GA to get anything meaningful done.

Pretty boilerplate GOP stuff with the possible exception of the wall.

She has me up until the word 'replacing'.  Handel is also a free trade supporter.
