Just over two months ago, I predicted that the Republican would win the 6th District of Georgia. Tonight, Karen Handel defeated Jon Ossoff in the runoff. In truth, it wasn't much of a prediction. A heavily Republican district elected a Republican. What a surprise. Thanks to vast sums of money or the approval ratings of the president, it was closer than it might otherwise have been. However, I was incorrect in saying that Reuters would only provide a colorless two sentence summation of the results. Though Republicans have won four special elections since the Orange Overlord was inaugurated, the AP managed to paint the margins of victory as portending future doom for the Republicans:
Republicans are claiming momentum ahead of the 2018 midterms, but each race was much closer than expected for the four districts.
Next time, the Republicans are toast. Be of good cheer, Democrats, this winning can't continue much longer. Yes, the AP is a totally unbiased news organization.
With the pathetic legislative accomplishments, it is clear that the Republicans could be in serious trouble if they don't achieve something. The only positive that the GOP currently has is that the alternative is the Democrats.
Why isn't everyone celebrating that the woman won? I think she may be the first woman to win the 6th District in Georgia. That's historic! Of course, such 'firsts' are only important if accomplished by Democrats. No one cares that Mia Love was the first Haitian American and first black female Republican elected to Congress, nor that she was the first Black American elected to Congress in Utah. Only the achievements of Democratic women are worthy of note.
